The Museum of Guangxizhuang Autonomous Region
The Museum of Guangxizhuang Autonomous Region (hereinafter referred to as "Guangxi Museum"), established in 1934, is a provincial-level comprehensive museum of history and art, and one of China's first national first-class museums. It houses nearly 100,000 artifacts (sets), including 148 first-class cultural relics (sets), 1,974 second-class cultural relics (sets), and 3,865 third-class cultural relics (sets). The museum's collection is not only vast in quantity and diverse in categories, covering a wide range from the Paleolithic Age to modern times, but also features strong local ethnic characteristics. These artifacts hold significant historical, artistic, and scientific value, bearing witness to Guangxi's historical development and evolution across various periods. To promote the high-quality development of museums, with strong support from the Party Committee and Government of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Museum of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region underwent renovation and expansion starting in January 2019. The new museum building, covering approximately 42,000 square meters with 10,000 square meters of exhibition space, opened to the public in late November 2022. It features permanent exhibitions such as "Ancient Civilizations of Guangxi" and "Flames of the Southern Frontier: Guangxi's Modern Revolutionary History," along with thematic exhibitions including "Setting Sail from Hepu: Guangxi's Maritime Silk Road of the Han Dynasty," "A Kaleidoscope of Glazes: Ceramic Collections," and "Exquisite Craftsmanship: Treasures of Artistry."

Well, it was just okay, but the price wasn't too high. The water jetpack segment was missing in 2026, but that's understandable; the market in Yulin is relatively small, and it's only been running for three years, so the NPCs are part-time rather than long-term trained. I still hope the scenic area for parents will continue to improve; things in the city are already slowly getting better.

The decor of this shop is truly thoughtful. The blue bricks, arches, and latticed windows of the Lingnan-style arcade buildings are all perfectly recreated, blending the Nanyang and Lingnan styles naturally, rather than being just another trendy shop piling on elements. I especially loved the window seats on the second floor; the afternoon sunlight streaming through the latticed windows created a particularly charming interplay of light and shadow. For taking photos, I recommend coming after 4 PM when the light is softer.

Just went to the pit yesterday! pit! pit! The road is difficult to travel on. SUV is ok, but sedan is not recommended! There are signs on the roadside warning that this is not a scenic spot. It is dangerous and you cannot enter! There is a cement factory nearby, and it is very dusty. I had to wash the car after going there. As I got close, I could smell a strong stench, like pig manure and garbage. Don't go there!

Such a small city museum is so good, it is worth applauding. I got to know the local area in a short time. It is an important part of the Maritime Silk Road. There are a lot of interactive contents, and you can check in. The space is also very large and bright. It is not tiring to visit. The theme exhibitions are eye-opening.

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting.
The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river.
The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.

People's Park is located on Gongyuan Road, Yuzhou District, Yulin City. It is an old city park in the center of Yulin City. There is a monument to revolutionary martyrs in it and a cemetery for revolutionary martyrs next to it. The green space and lake are not very large.

The exhibits are plentiful, concentrated on the second and third floors, but unfortunately, the museum doesn't limit visitor numbers, making it impossible to sit still and appreciate them at a leisurely pace.
I suggest following the example of other provincial museums and changing the reservation system to two-hour time slots—limiting the number of visitors would significantly improve the experience.
Also, the smell of recent renovations in some exhibition halls is quite strong.
