Things to do in Liuzhou

A fantastic place to learn about the Dong ethnic group. We visited three villages, saw the drum towers, observed the local dwellings, and explored the museum… There were also very beautiful ancient bridges and wells. It was definitely worth the trip. We parked in the underground parking lot of the scenic area, but to get inside, we still needed to take an electric cart, and it took about an hour and a half to walk through the three villages.

Transportation was extremely inconvenient. The high-speed rail station was ridiculously overcharging; they initially quoted 250 yuan, but when I said it was just one scenic spot, they jumped to 150 yuan for the round trip plus waiting time. Later, I took a bus to the ancient town and then a taxi, which cost 85 yuan round trip. The scenic area itself was nice, but not very large. Besides the Natural Bridge, there wasn't much to see. The Nine Dragon Cave and Fairy Cave weren't particularly interesting, although the scenery at the entrance and along the way was quite nice.

A must-go when you come to Liuzhou❗Visit Yaobu ​​Ancient Town at night, the lights are bright and dreamy🏮Beyond the bustling city, the market and the ancient town are the best places for people to visit... Speaking of Liuzhou, we have to mention the bright pearl inlaid on the Baili Liujiang River-Yaobu ​​Ancient Town🏯 It is one of the top ten key projects of the Liuzhou Municipal Government, the finishing touch of the "Bai Li Liujiang" landscape belt of Liuzhou's 4A-level scenic spot, and an important cultural and historical business card of Liuzhou. ⛩️ Here you can slow down, savor every corner of the ancient town, and feel the unique charm❣️ 🏯Scenic spot features: Yaobu ​​Ancient Town is mainly a commercial district and a Dongzhai cultural style area. The scenery of the ancient town during the day and at night is completely different. I personally recommend going there at night, because after turning on the lights at night, the quaint buildings and the night view are really beautiful. No need for any filters, all photos are great~📷 Yaobu ​​Ancient Town is quite large, divided into ABCD areas, most of A area is ethnic clothing area and some restaurants; C area has Longcheng Pavilion; along the river platform you can enjoy the scenery of Liujiang River🌿 Longcheng Pavilion in C area of ​​the ancient town, Longcheng Pavilion after lighting up is very good for taking photos. ❤

The bluestone paths of Liujiang Ancient Town gleamed from the rain, and lanterns from the old houses along the river lit up one by one in the twilight. Sitting in a stilted house, sipping tea, watching fishing boats glide across the water, shattering the reflected mountain shadows, the evening breeze carrying the sweet and briny scent of river delicacies, time seemed to stretch out gently here.

非常值得一去，环境一流，空气清新。我每年必去的公园。亲子旅游好地方，情侣打卡第一站。家人孩子非常开心，亲近大自然，有助于小孩的身心健康发育，有利于老人的身体健康。建议大家多出来走走。

The No.1 attraction in Liuzhou city. Who would have thought that showcasing so many colossal industrial machines in one place would be so breathtaking? The 150-ton heavy machinery at the entrance is incredibly eye-catching. The giant machines in the exterior are combined with the hand-made craftsmanship of artisans from Guangxi and Liuzhou, creating a beautiful sense of "order." A must-see attraction in Liuzhou.

There is an elevator that goes directly to the top of the mountain. It costs 20 yuan to go up, but there is no need to take it because the mountain is not high or steep. It only takes 30 minutes to reach the top. The view from the top viewing platform is excellent. Because there are not many people, you can comfortably take photos and check in.

It would be a real shame to miss taking a boat trip from Nanche Ferry Terminal in Liuzhou. You can take a boat from Nanche Ferry Terminal to the ancient town. It's a really interesting trip. You can choose to take a sightseeing cruise or a water bus. The bus queues can be quite long during holidays.

Liuzhou is a beautiful city, and it's not just about snail rice noodles! The night scene is a completely different story. The Liujiang River, with its water quality ranking among the top three in the country, and the lights along its banks are breathtaking. Not to mention the bustling Wuxing Street night market, with its mouthwatering food and throngs of people, exuding a festive and peaceful New Year atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression. 👍👍👍

Feels like great value for money. We came up in the afternoon and chose the afternoon tea set for three, which also included sightseeing. The weather was nice, offering panoramic views of Longcheng and the Liujiang River. It wasn't crowded even on the weekend, making for a fantastic sightseeing experience.
