I came here after seeing online reviews suggesting it was fun, but the experience was average. The facilities are small, and many of the venues are themed around 4D imaging. The food and drink options are limited and expensive. The itineraries and performance guides are unclear, so I had to download the Fantawild app to research them myself.
东南亚风情主题，一天体验十国，项目体验还可以，演出容纳量比较大，虽是长假期间，排队时间相对能够接受，项目比较丰富，一天时间难以全部体验到。

I arrived early when I was passing by Nanning and stayed overnight. I wanted to go see the internet-famous gorilla. Generally speaking, as long as the zoo is not that bad, I will give it a good review. Nanning Zoo is indeed okay. It has all the animals it should have and you can see them. I also saw the gorilla. Although I didn't see it throwing things, I saw it dancing, so it was worth it.
The zoo is cleverly designed with numerous rest areas and dining areas, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy a cup of fragrant milk tea to recharge their batteries. Each animal habitat is also equipped with a detailed sign, leading us to a deeper understanding of the world of each small animal.

A Civilizational Scroll Amidst the Charm of Guangxi and Miao Culture – A Visit to the Guangxi Nationalities Museum
Stepping into the Guangxi Nationalities Museum is like crossing a barrier of time, plunging into a cultural galaxy interwoven with the Zhuang, Yao, Miao, and Dong ethnic groups. This building, nestled against the verdant mountains and beside the Yong River, is itself rich in regional characteristics. Its vermilion pillars paired with black-tiled eaves, adorned with bronze drum patterns, exude both the solemnity of traditional architecture and the vibrancy of ethnic art, filling visitors with anticipation for its wonders even before entering.
The second-floor exhibition hall, "The Ethnic Code Through a Thousand Years," is truly the highlight. Upon entering the hall, a massive array of bronze drums immediately captures the eye. These "artifacts," bearing the wisdom of the Zhuang ancestors, are engraved with sun and cloud/thunder patterns. The deep, resonant sound when struck seems to penetrate a thousand years, recounting the ancient rituals and celebrations. Inside the glass display case, the shimmering colors of Zhuang brocade are captivating. On the predominantly red, yellow, and blue brocade, lifelike flowers, birds, fish, and insects are depicted. The guide explains that each piece of Zhuang brocade takes weavers months or even years to complete, and the intricate stitches reveal the Zhuang girls' skill and deep affection.
Turning the display case, the Yao silver ornaments section is dazzling. Heavy silver crowns, necklaces, and bracelets are engraved with auspicious patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, and butterflies, reflecting a brilliant light in the sunlight. It is said that Yao silver ornaments are not only decorations but also symbols of wealth. A bride's complete set of silver ornaments, weighing dozens of kilograms, jingles as she walks, like a flowing folk song. The Dong ethnic drum tower model nearby was equally stunning. Constructed entirely of wooden components using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail or rivet, its upturned eaves perfectly replicating the exquisite craftsmanship and grandeur of a real drum tower, inspiring admiration for the superb skills of the Dong artisans.
Standing on the museum's terrace, gazing out over the gently flowing Yong River and the lush green Qingxiu Mountain, the natural scenery and the ethnic culture within the museum complemented each other, further emphasizing the profound history and vibrant energy of this land.
This trip to the Guangxi Nationalities Museum was both a visual feast and a spiritual cleansing. The artifacts, techniques, and scenes of daily life spanning millennia allowed me to deeply appreciate the diversity and brilliance of Guangxi's various ethnic cultures, and to understand the profound meaning of "each culture has its own beauty, and together we create a harmonious whole."

Nanning Polar Ocean World is definitely worth a visit! It has many pavilions and exhibits, each filled with surprises. There's even a white wolf and an underwater tunnel with lots of fish, making it feel like taking photos in the deep sea – so beautiful! The jellyfish move around under the light, displaying many beautiful colors. The penguins are carrying rocks back and forth, like they're moving house. The dolphin and sea lion show is fantastic; you can sit in the front row and get up close to the dolphins, who can even balance balls on their heads! The mermaids' dance is beautiful, and the Golden Storm show is amazing. The mermaids even did a dance at the end, which was also very charming. I took my child to see it, and they loved it – a very happy day!
A truly relaxing Ocean World experience
I'm absolutely blown away by this Ocean World! The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the dreamlike Jellyfish Palace. The vibrant colors of the jellyfish drifted beneath the lights, creating a captivating atmosphere in every photo.
The dolphin show was incredibly energetic. The little ones were so clever and agile, and the audience cheered the moment they leaped from the water. The underwater tunnel was truly breathtaking. Looking up, manta rays and clownfish swam overhead, making it feel like I'd truly entered the azure sea. Bringing the kids here was a truly relaxing experience. It's definitely a treasure trove worth visiting numerous times!

The Guangxi Museum of Nationalities is well worth a visit. It's a national first-class museum and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, located on the banks of the Yong River in Nanning.
It boasts numerous highlights, including a rich collection of over 50,000 items (sets) across eight categories, including bronze drums and textiles. "Drum Sounds Across Time and Space - Bronze Drum Cultural Exhibition" showcases numerous bronze drums, with the "Thunder Pattern Bronze Drum" being the museum's crowning treasure. "BEIXNUENGX - Zhuang Culture Exhibition" comprehensively showcases Zhuang culture. "Colorful Eight Guangxi - Guangxi Ethnic Culture Exhibition" comprehensively showcases the history, costumes, and other aspects of Guangxi's various ethnic groups. Furthermore, an outdoor exhibition garden showcases distinctive residential architecture and hosts performances of ethnic cultural heritage.
I visited the Guangxi Anthropology Museum in Nanning.... and it turned out to be a highlight of my trip. The exhibits are beautifully curated, showing the richness of Guangxi’s many ethnic groups, but what struck me most was the bronze drum collection... what a massive, intricate, and symbolic of power and heritage. Standing before them, I felt connected to centuries of tradition. The displays on the Zhuang ethnic group were especially meaningful, with detailed presentations of their festivals, costumes, and music that brought their culture vividly to life. It’s more than a museum!Tips: Get a museum interpreter....highly recommended

We went to the Pavilion Pier at night. The most distinctive feature here is the European-style architecture, coupled with the rendering of the night scene lights, it has a literary and artistic atmosphere and Western characteristics. It is suitable for taking the kids out after dinner.
We chose to board the boat at Pavilion Port after hearing the introduction from a taxi driver, who said that the night view of Pavilion Port was beautiful. It was indeed quite nice, and the boat we took was also quite good, except that the tour route was too short and the scenery was average. However, it was still quite pleasant to sit on the boat and relax.

First of all, this place is full of regional characteristics and showcases the culture of Guangxi. In addition, the performances here are quite good. I hope they will continue to perform. Finally, it would be perfect if there were more local specialties.
I went to Nanning on a business trip and went out for a walk at night. I came to Nanning Night. Nanning Night is located in the new district of Nanning, and my hotel happened to be nearby. Nanning Night is more suitable for children to come and play. It is quite nice for children to come and play and take pictures. There are small shops selling food on both sides of the road. For adults, there is no need to come here specifically. The shops on both sides sell food and drinks, but the quality is not high, and the price is a bit expensive. However, Nanning Night is only open at night, so you can eat anything at night.

Nanning Nanhu Park, located in Qingxiu District in the southeast of the city, is a park that integrates water landscape and subtropical garden scenery. The most important thing is that a leisure and entertainment plank road is built with Nanhu as the center, which is suitable for traveling with children and the elderly.
🌴Nanning Nanhu Park｜The "Emerald Breathing Field" in the Heart of Green City
The 200-hectare "Urban Green Lung" is full of surprises! The 108-hectare blue lake reflects the skyscrapers, and the nine-arch bridge and banyan-shaded embankment along the lake are natural filter camera positions.
📸Must-see dungeons:
▫️ Take photos of the "giant banyan tree aerial roots" (a skywalk thicker than a person) at the Famous Tree Expo Park
▫️ Take photos of the "white gauze wind-driven device" at the Bodhi Garden Flower Landscape Competition (booked for art blockbusters)
▫️ Take a night tour of the Nanhu Bridge to see the "rainbow fountain + neon reflection" (19:30-21:00)
🌿Hidden gameplay:
✔️ Find the flame orchid in the orchid garden (the petals have their own fluorescent effects)
✔️ Rent an electric boat to cruise the lake (50 yuan/hour, pets allowed)
✔️ Free visit to the Li Mingrui and Wei Baqun Memorial Hall (closed on Mondays)
🚇Transportation: Direct access from Exit B of Nanhu Station on Metro Line 1
🎫Tickets: 0 yuan! Open 24 hours a day
💡Cold knowledge: The remains of the ancient Yongxi River in the Tang Dynasty are hidden at the bottom of the lake!

My dear children, you must come to this resort! The hot springs are super comfortable. After soaking, you will feel warm all over. There are also many entertainment facilities. I had a lot of fun. I will come again next time! The brother at the front desk is very enthusiastic and Xiao Lu is excellent.
The renovated Nanguo Hot Spring is pretty good. The overnight private hot spring is pretty nice and comfortable. The public area is prettier than before. The breakfast provided by the restaurant is also pretty good and rich. It would be better if the price is more affordable without lowering the current standard. 1300 is still a bit expensive. It is easier to consider the second or third experience at around 800. Overall, I am satisfied.
