Nanning Nanhu Park Roaming Guide｜Tested by an introvert: 20 minutes to heal all fatigue～

As a seasoned "homebody" introvert, I used to think going out was a burden until a friend took me to Nanning Nanhu Park to "recharge"—tested personally, find a shady spot to sit for 20 minutes, watch the shimmering lake surface, listen to the rustling leaves in the wind, and anxiety will quietly slip away～ 🌳 About Nanhu Park: It’s hidden in downtown Nanning, like a carefully tended green gem. The loop around the lake is about 10 kilometers. If you don’t want to walk, rent a bike and leisurely ride around (single bike 10 yuan/hour, very affordable); if you want to zone out, just find a patch of grass or a lakeside stone step to sit on, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, warm and not glaring. 📍 Must-experience little spots: 1. Jiukong Bridge: Go at dusk! The sunset dyes the bridge arches golden red, the lake reflections sway along, every photo feels gentle (remember to wear light-colored clothes for better shots). 2. Famous Tree Exhibition Garden: On the west side of the park, planted with many tropical plants. The banyan tree’s aerial roots hang down like curtains, perfect for forest-style photos, and there are fewer people. 3. Lakeside Boardwalk: Walk along the lake, sometimes you can see little fish jump out of the water, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a hoopoe (their feathers are super beautiful!). When tired, lean on the railing and watch the elderly fishing; their slow pace will infect you with a sense of relaxation～ 🍜 Where to eat after the stroll? Near the park, there are many Nanning flavors. Walk 10 minutes to "Macun Night Market": - Try the rolled rice noodles, the rice sheets are smooth, wrapped with green beans and minced meat, drizzled with yellow skin sauce, sour and sweet to whet your appetite; - In summer, the must-order is locust flower noodles, the icy sweet soup paired with chewy noodles refreshes and cools you down. 📌 Tips: - Best time: March to April, the spring light is bright, neither cold nor hot; avoid noon, after 3 pm the sunlight is softer. - Gear: Bring a foldable stool (the lakeside stone steps might be a bit chilly), sunscreen (Nanning’s sun is very enthusiastic!), and a bottle of water (there are small shops in the park, but a bit pricey). - Introvert-friendly: The park is huge, you can easily find a corner to "disappear" without worrying about being disturbed～ Actually, no need to make a special plan, coming here is about "wasting time." Find a place to sit, daydream, watch clouds drift over the lake, feel the wind brush your face—this kind of "doing nothing" happiness is the best gift Nanhu Park gives to introverts～ 🌸
