This courtyard in Guangxi is so beautiful. It's a pity not to check in when you come to Nanning.
Goose and Juans not only has a good environment, but also delicious food. It's definitely a good place to invite guests for dinner.
The cuisine is quite suitable for the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, and the ingredients are exquisite. The appearance and taste are both good.
With a total area of more than 7,000 square meters and 22 private rooms, it is very suitable for family gatherings and business banquets.

Beautiful Xiangsi Town in Nanning 😍🇨🇳❤️
#chinatrip
Reverse travel in Nanning, make sure to leave one day for this place to travel away from Chongzuo. When traveling back, especially staying in Nanning for two days, you can unlock the joy of two cities with one trip! One day was left for Qingxiu Mountain, and the other day was given to this lovesick town because it was not very big here. It was composed of representative buildings with the characteristics of the Yang and Dong ethnic groups. At first glance, I saw the high tower in C position, which was really like crossing to Qiandongnan. Other details were decorated and created using the characters, totems, patterns, art, festivals and other ethnic elements of the twelve ancient ethnic groups in Guangxi. Regular meetings were held, and many activities were held inside. There were many shops for food and travel photography. Although it was a commercial small town, the buildings were still very smooth, and there was a bit of Jiangnan water town charm, especially when it was just bright and red in the evening. When the blue color of the light is turned on, taking a photo is the most beautiful! Make sure not to miss out! Ling, we stayed at a hotel in the scenic area.
At night, we casually found a local restaurant to eat in the scenic area. The taste was very good, but it was a bit far from the market, but driving was quite convenient. Let's take a break from the noise! Especially this night with almost no tourists, walking inside is particularly comfortable?

Zhaoxing Dong Village is not in Nanning city center
It's so photogenic!
Ah! Found the same photo spot in Nanning as Zhaoxing Dong Village
👉Little wooden boat: It's in the middle of the central square's pond, but now that the water is drained, you can sit outside to take pictures!
👉Bamboo forest: It's very artistic! Many portrait photos are taken here!
👉Tie-dye check-in spot: A very ethnic style check-in spot! There are quite a few people, but it's still okay because the tie-dye fabric blocks the view, so you won't capture others in your photo!
👉Roof tile lifting: A very 🔥 check-in spot! Standing on the wooden board makes for a great shot!

Nanning, Guangxi · Acacia Town
Acacia Town can be considered a must-visit place in Nanning city area.
The town is not very large, but it has a strong ethnic character. There are many photography spots.
Moreover, many of the photography spots are artistically designed, making them great for taking pictures.
I went there early, and many shops were not open yet, it gets busier at night.
The night view is better, but it's also not bad during the day.
There are not many places to visit in the city
If you have spare time, you can come to Acacia Town to play for an hour or two.

Travel Guide to Nanning Acacia Town
Nanning Acacia Town is one of the most ethnic characteristic scenic spots in Nanning, with some quite nice restaurants. Travel guide: Be sure to take a set of ethnic style travel shots, play and shoot; you can also choose a special restaurant for a meal!
First talk about the special restaurants: Puyuan and Wang Ba Courtyard
Environment: Both are five stars, Puyuan is gorgeous and atmospheric, Wang Ba Courtyard is full of exquisite elegance everywhere, each has its own characteristics.
Photography: Puyuan four and a half stars, Wang Ba Courtyard four stars, the environment is good, Wang Ba Courtyard light is darker, the requirements for mobile phones and photography technology are higher, to shoot the feeling of Dream Hua Lu, recommend Puyuan.
Taste: Both are three stars, the taste is quite ordinary, not that it's not delicious, but it feels that the consumption of 250-350 yuan per capita should be more delicious!
Then talk about travel shooting: There are many clothing rental shops, the prices are similar, the travel shooting method is flexible, you can only rent clothes, or you can make a full set of makeup, you can shoot yourself, or you can find a photographer on site. Suggestion: You can shoot by yourself during the day, but when night falls, it is recommended to find a photographer, unless you have good photography skills or a full set of photography equipment! The photography skills of the photographers are quite good, many of the original pictures can be directly posted on the circle of friends! While taking pictures, there are children praising, and during the photo breaks, there are several college brothers and sisters asking for a group photo, stealing joy! The key is: Here you can take a set of ethnic style travel shots for the price of someone else's ID photo, it's too cost-effective!

The Xiangsi town is composed of 56 buildings with Dong characteristics, featuring characters, totems, patterns, art, festivals, and other ethnic elements from the 12 living ethnic groups in Guangxi. Since its opening on National Day in 2020, numerous ethnic festivals have been held, attracting many tourists, where colorful Zhuang brocade costumes, elegant folk songs, melodious music, and enthusiastic native dancers perform on the wooden stage.
I was lucky enough to enjoy the performance for Dragon Chinese New Year's Day. Xiangsi Town showcases the cultural charm of Guangxi's ethnic groups through its unique architecture, cultural tourism, and intangible cultural heritage.
