Step into Guangxi and discover the poetry and distant beauty hidden in its karst landscapes

Tired of the same old scenery? Head to Guangxi and immerse yourself in this colorful land, where you'll encounter unique and breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural traditions. Entering Guilin feels like stepping into an ink-wash painting. The crystal-clear Li River mirrors the bizarre peaks along its banks. Drifting downstream on a bamboo raft, with the breeze caressing your face, the scenery unfolds like a poem—proving the saying "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven" is no exaggeration. In Xingping Ancient Town, the cobblestone streets whisper tales of the past. Standing at the spot featured on the 20-yuan banknote, you'll be amazed as the real view perfectly aligns with the printed image. Liuzhou, a city famous for its luosifen (river snail rice noodles), is filled with a unique sour and spicy aroma. Wander through its lively alleys, find a small eatery, and order a steaming bowl of luosifen. The explosion of sour, spicy, fresh, and refreshing flavors will delight your taste buds. After your meal, enjoy the night view along the Liujiang River, where the lights outline the bridges and buildings, creating a mesmerizing scene. At Beihai's Silver Beach, the fine white sand glitters under the sun. Run barefoot and feel the grains slip between your toes as gentle waves lap the shore, where the sea meets the sky in an endless blue. At dusk, the stunning sunset drapes the ocean in a dreamy veil, creating a scene of pure romance. For an underwater adventure, Weizhou Island is the perfect choice. Its unique volcanic terrain forms captivating landscapes, and diving beneath the waves lets you dance with colorful fish and encounter fascinating marine life. Guangxi's beauty goes beyond its landscapes and cuisine—it's also home to vibrant ethnic cultures. The songs of the Zhuang people, the dances of the Yao, the festivals of the Miao, and the drum towers of the Dong all showcase the charm of minority traditions. During the March 3rd Festival, grand singing fairs come alive with antiphonal singing, embroidered ball tossing, and firework scrambling, as people dressed in festive attire sing and dance, filling the air with joy.
