Nanning, an underrated treasure capital city worth visiting
This city has a slow pace of life, friendly people, many electric scooters, and high cost-effectiveness. It's a treasure city with great food and shopping, where people call you handsome and beautiful.
🗺️ Nanning 2-Day Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Qingxiu Mountain - Guangxi National Museum - ASEAN Business District
Day 2: Yuanyang Building - Tangren Cultural Street - Deng Yingchao Museum - Three Streets and Two Alleys - Pavilion Wharf - Yongjiang Night Cruise
🎡 Recommended Attractions
1️⃣ Qingxiu Mountain
Ticket: 20 yuan, 5A-level scenic spot. The Shade Plant Garden (near the North Gate), Guanyin Zen Temple, and the Ancient and Modern Crossing are all located here. If you have enough time, Qingxiu Mountain is worth spending a whole day on.
2️⃣ Guangxi National Museum
Free, reservation required. Located by the Yongjiang River, it is a specialized museum showcasing ethnic culture, featuring the traditional cultural characteristics of the 12 indigenous ethnic groups in Guangxi. It's worth a visit.
3️⃣ ASEAN Business District
The famous Nanning staircase is here, and there are many restaurants nearby. It's perfect to have a meal here after shopping.
4️⃣ Yuanyang Building
"Z"-shaped staircase, symmetrical old residential building, full of a sense of age and stories. However, it looks very dilapidated in reality. If you are not interested in taking photos, you can skip it.
5️⃣ Tangren Cultural Street
Close to Yuanyang Building, this street is full of antiques, old toys, and cultural items. It's a treasure hunting paradise, perfect for those who love to shop for unique items.
6️⃣ Deng Yingchao Museum
Free, reservation required. I learned from a play that she was the wife of Premier Zhou Enlai. Here, Deng Yingchao's story is vividly presented before my eyes. There is a special exhibition hall displaying letters between her and Zhou Enlai, which are incredibly sweet. The love between the Premier and his wife brought tears to my eyes.
7️⃣ Three Streets and Two Alleys
This area has many Guangxi specialty snacks, similar to the must-visit streets in every city, perfect for a city walk.
7️⃣ Pavilion Wharf
European-style castle, as if you were in Prague Square. Come here to catch a sunset and see the rose waterfall.
8️⃣ Yongjiang Night Cruise
The lights of Changyou Pavilion reflect on the shimmering river. There are people singing by the river, and everyone sits on the steps, swaying to the rhythm, quietly listening or softly singing along. It's a very atmospheric night.
🏨 About Accommodation & Dining
It is recommended to stay near Mixc Mall, which is convenient for transportation and dining.
Nanning has a rich variety of local delicacies and many great restaurants, including various types of noodles. The cost-effectiveness is very high. The pictures above are all from places I've tried and found good, for your reference.
💡💡💡 Travel Tips
⭕️ Be sure to bring mosquito and insect repellent when going to Qingxiu Mountain.
⭕️ The weather in Nanning at the end of October is super comfortable!! You can consider visiting during this time.

Guangxi's Most Beautiful Skyline
Since we took the high-speed train from Chongzuo back to Nanning early in the morning, it was already 4 PM when we arrived in Nanning, leaving us with limited time to stay in Qingxiu Mountain Park. We decided to take the sightseeing bus and only photograph the upper part of the park.
Our route started with getting off at Tianchi, where we took some photos of the lake and the surrounding scenery. Tianchi is a large artificial lake halfway up Qingxiu Mountain. The water glistens, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, earning it the nickname 'Tower Reflection Tianchi.'
Next, we walked to the symbol of Qingxiu Mountain - Longxiang Tower. The tower stands 52.35 meters high and 12 meters wide, with an internal spiral staircase of 207 steps leading to the top. It is the tallest tower in Guangxi. From the top, you can overlook the scenery of Yongjiang River and the new city of Langdong in Nanning. If you get hungry, you can visit nearby snack shops for a grilled sausage or corn, all freshly made and delicious.
After visiting Longxiang Tower, we walked to Huanshan Xiuping, a large grassland where we could lie down and rest. This grassland covers nearly 100 acres, and lying on this green carpet-like field, you can feel a sense of relaxation and comfort, making it an excellent place to rest.
Finally, we arrived at Guanyin Zen Temple. We didn't visit the temple itself but stayed here to photograph the sunset, evening glow, and night view. From 6 PM, we had our equipment set up, capturing the fiery sunset first, followed by the evening glow connecting the sky and earth, and finally, the starry night view, making for a spectacular conclusion. This skyline is undoubtedly one of the most impressive I've ever seen.
Recommended Spots:

Must-visit spots for a two-day trip in Nanning:
1. Three Streets and Two Lanes, a historical and cultural district, is a must-visit for its lively atmosphere. You can also walk to a nearby high-rise and take an aerial shot from the rooftop, capturing the ancient buildings and the bridge in one view.
2. Qingxiu Mountain, with its charming botanical garden and the ancient and modern viewing platform, is a must-visit for cityscapes.
3. Jump into Nanhu Lake, where there are 3 branches of a bar, it is recommended to go to the largest and most popular Convention and Exhibition Store, a must-visit for nightlife.
4. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Museum, which regularly hosts important and distinctive exhibitions, please pay attention in advance to grab tickets. This time I missed the national treasure exhibition and couldn't get close to the national treasure, the Ox Head, a must-visit for cultural tours.
5. Laoyou Rice Noodles, if you don't slurp noodles, don't bother coming, a must-visit for foodies.
ps. For accommodation, it is not recommended to stay near Nanning East Station, just stay in the city center.

Fairy tale land theme park of beautiful, magnificent and huge area named Qing Xiu Mountain Forest Park which is located in wonderful Nanning city, brilliant Guangxi province. This is the small area so much loved by children. I would like to emphasize that this area and all its installations has no direct relationship with some movie or book story, but in some cases there could be found similarities with famous masterpieces inspired the creators. Once again to culture so many different species of plants is not easy work, but people who support this park are doing it perfectly.

青秀山 aka Qing Xiu Mountain. Nanning city, Guangxi province. In fact this is the big area which comprises several hills and different gardens and primary rainforest, where you can find monuments, temples, small museums and a lot of special stuff, nature stuff. This is exactly what Guangxi treasure is! Qing Xiu Mountain has a right to be named Nanning number one scenic spot or area of tourist attractions. It is pretty easy to get there by public transportation. Do not think it gonna be quick. I have spent there seven hours without taking a break. Another thing is a price, it's very cheap, just a ten yuan (seven for students) for such amazing area! Definitely recommended!

Nanning, also known as the Green City, is a city of endless beauty. Qingxiu Mountain is like the city's green lung, with rolling hills and dense vegetation. Stroll along the mountain paths, breathe in the fresh air, and encounter rare flowers and lively animals. The Yongjiang River flows through the city, and the riverside parks on both sides are great places for citizens to relax.

Lao You Fen is a signature dish of Nanning, with sour bamboo shoots, fermented black beans, minced meat, and smooth rice noodles dancing together. The unique "sour and stinky" taste is irresistible, and one bite is both appetizing and satisfying. There's also juan tong fen, with delicate rice flour wraps filled with rich fillings and drizzled with special sauce, offering a rich taste. Suan Ye is also a must-try, with various fruits and vegetables marinated to be sweet and sour, perfect for cooling off in summer.

Qingxiu Mountain Night Garden ends today.
Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area opened the Night Garden on August 1, which was originally scheduled to end on November 17, but was extended for another week, allowing me to experience it. The Night Garden is located in the Orchid Garden area of the North Gate of Qingxiu Mountain, and you can feel it as soon as you enter from the North Gate. The ticket is also CNY 20, but you must buy a Night Garden ticket, otherwise you will not be able to enter the park after 6 pm.
I mainly visited the Dynamic Insect World and Dinosaur World, where the combination of dynamics and sound is vivid and lifelike, and is very popular with young children. I feel that these two factors are the main reasons for the Night Garden: first, Nanning is very hot in summer, and people are more willing to go out at night; second, parents have to work during the day and only have time to take their children out to play at night.
The successful holding of the Night Garden provides experience for the cultural and tourism departments to explore the integration of night culture and tourism, and promotes the development of the night economy in the south.

I really underestimated Nanning!
I love Nanning! There are far fewer people than in Liuzhou and Guilin, so you don't have to worry about crowds. It's very easy to get around, with buses, subways, and shared bikes everywhere, and taxis are cheap too. Nanning is perfect for a leisurely trip of eating and shopping. The environment is great, and the parks are worth a visit! It's a garden city!

Qingxiu Mountain: A meeting of nature and the soul.
Qingxiu Mountain: A meeting of nature and the soul
Qingxiu Mountain is like a green pearl embedded in the earth, exuding endless charm and attracting many tourists to explore its beauty.
As soon as you step into Qingxiu Mountain, the fresh air greets you, like a light veil brushing your face, with a hint of coolness and the unique fragrance of grass and trees in the mountains. The trees here are lush and dense, like giant green umbrellas intertwined, creating a cool world for people. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light on the ground, like stars scattered on earth.
Walking along the winding path, you will see a variety of flowers and plants. Whether it is the delicate roses, the elegant orchids, or the colorful hydrangeas, they all compete for beauty here. They either bloom alone, showing their unique beauty, or gather together, like a group of lively girls whispering. Among the flowers, butterflies dance gracefully, performing a moving dance of life with the bees.
When you reach the mountainside, you can hear the sound of flowing water. It is the stream in the mountains singing joyfully, the water is clear and transparent, shining with silver light under the sunlight. The fish in the water swim freely, sometimes shuttle between the water plants, sometimes leap out of the water, splashing a string of crystal water droplets. The stones by the stream are of various shapes, some are round like pearls, some are rugged and strange, as if they are artworks carefully carved by nature.
Standing on the top of Qingxiu Mountain, the view suddenly becomes clear. The distant mountains are undulating, like a sleeping dragon lying on the earth. The city at your feet is in full view, with tall buildings and busy streets, but at this moment, they all seem to become small. In this blend of tranquility and noise, people feel the wonderful harmony between nature and human civilization.
Qingxiu Mountain is a place where people can relax their minds, every scenery is a gift from nature. Whether you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a moment of peace, or want to get close to nature and feel its wonder, Qingxiu Mountain will not disappoint you.

Nanning, half scenery, half city.
Nanning doesn't feel like a bustling metropolis. It feels more like a small town hidden in a corner of time. No other provincial capital is like Nanning, with two completely different sides of the Yongjiang River. The left bank is full of skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of life, while the right bank is the lush Qingxiu Mountain, with its endless natural beauty. So, the Nanning I experienced can be summed up as "half prosperity in Yongcheng, half Qingxiu in the mortal world."
The most obvious feeling when coming to Nanning from other cities is that life slows down. You no longer have to work hard in a cramped and oppressive office building all day for a few pieces of silver.
In Nanning, you can rent a small electric bike for a few bucks and ride through the green streets and alleys, along the dikes of the Yongjiang River, and feel the embrace of the wind that you haven't felt in a long time.
