This winter is just like spring, no joke. It happened to be a weekend with very good weather, so I took an hour-long subway ride to come and see it. As a person from Guangxi, I am amazed to see such a scene. Chrysanthemums of different colors and types compete to bloom their charm in Nanning. The sunshine in this winter is also very powerful. The sunshine and colorful flowers go so well together. Can you believe this is the scene in early December? People of different ages and moods can have a pleasant visual enjoyment here~ This city with flowers blooming even in winter is really worth seeing. PS: In addition to the common small chrysanthemums and vine chrysanthemums, there are also some uncommon chrysanthemum varieties on display in the exhibition area, such as dyed chrysanthemums, chrysanthemum flower arrangements, precious chrysanthemums, and imported fresh-cut chrysanthemums. Walk around or look down. It is very suitable to take a quick look here. I believe you will find more surprises~ 📍Nanning Qingxiu District-Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area ASEAN Youth Ecological Friendship Park 2024 Chrysanthemum Exhibition

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.

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.

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.

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: Guanyin Zen Temple (night view, sunset, evening glow) Huanshan Xiuping Tianchi Longxiang Tower

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.

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.

Attended a colleague's wedding, with tight schedule and heavy tasks, managed to visit several popular attractions in one day 1. Breakfast: Shu Ji Laoyou Rice Noodles (Guiya Branch), the closest Shu Ji to the north gate of Qingxiu Mountain. After eating, walked to the north gate. Originally planned to play for two hours, but there were too many fun attractions in the scenic area, ended up playing for four hours; 2. After exiting the north gate, took a taxi to the ASEAN Sheng Tian Di famous staircase, near Starbucks there is an elevator going down, ordered online from Grandma's Handmade (Wanxiang City Branch), walked to Ganjiajie Lemon Duck (Chunhui Branch), quite delicious and cost-effective, went to pick up tea after eating; 3.

#Mainland China Attractions The Phoenix Tower in Qingxiushan Park is the landmark of Nanning City. In order to get a panoramic view of Nanning, you must use your willpower to climb to the top of the tower. The tower is 69.9 meters high and has 12 floors, including 2 underground floors and 10 above ground floors. The tower has 9 floors and is a hexagonal antique building. Because there is no elevator, you have to walk up. The overall feeling is like a pagoda. Climb to the top with pious ❤👍 It is really comfortable to climb high and look far. The green Yongjiang River is winding, high-rise buildings are standing on both sides, and an arched cross-river bridge is very spectacular. There are many plants to see in the park, including the century-old ebony and the thousand-year-old iron tree, all of which are ecological treasures. I heard that there are more than 1,000 kinds of tropical and subtropical vegetation here🤗🤗🤗

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.

#discoverchina ✨ My Sun-Dappled Discoveries 1. 【Qingxiu Mountain's Eternal Spring】🏞️ I wandered through jungles that refused winter's call—orchids still flirting with butterflies, banyan roots knitting emerald carpets. From Dragon-Elephant Pagoda's peak, the city unfolded like a tropical dream. 2. 【Daming Mountain's Frosty Whispers】❄️ When morning mist turned to crystal lace on pine needles, I found Guangxi's secret winter—a silver kingdom where my breath hung like ghostly lychee blossoms in the air. 3. 【Zoo's Winter Ball】🐼 The pandas munched bamboo with mittened paws, elephants blew steam-ring trumpets, and I—caught between laughing children and sunbathing crocodiles—remembered how joy never hibernates. 4. 【Yangmei Ancient Town's Time Warp】⏳ Ming Dynasty cobblestones still remember the salt merchants' footsteps. I sipped ginger tea in a 300-year-old courtyard, watching winter sunlight gild the carved phoenix eaves. 5. 【Ethnic Museum's Living Threads】🧵 Zhuang brocades whispered color secrets, Miao silver headdresses tinkled like mountain streams. I left with my pockets full of stories and a Yao embroidery patch stitched to my backpack. 6. 【Fangte ASEAN Fantasy】🎪 Where fairy tales from Vietnam to Brunei came alive! I rode a flying dragon through Angkor Wat's ruins, then ate durian ice cream under "snow"-fluttering Thai spires (courtesy of clever foam machines). 🌺 My Local Know-How Sunrise at Nanhu Lake: When lotus pods wear dewdrop jewels Hidden Gem: The ancient lychee grove behind Qingxiu's Buddhist temple Must-Try: "Three Sisters" glutinous rice steamed in bamboo tubes 💚 Why Nanning's Winter Wins Because here, winter isn't a season—it's just sunshine wearing a light sweater, where palm shadows stretch longer and laughter echoes warmer under citrus-scented skies. #familytravel #myitinerary

Nanning City, abbreviated as "Yong," was anciently known as Yongzhou and is also called the Green City. It is a prefecture-level city, the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and a Type I metropolis, covering a total area of 22,100 square kilometers. Nanning was historically part of the Baiyue territory. In 214 BC, during the 33rd year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, the Qin Dynasty unified the Lingnan region, establishing Nanhai Commandery, Guilin Commandery, and Xiang Commandery. Present-day Nanning belonged to Guilin Commandery and Xiang Commandery (parts of the former Yongning County, central and southern Heng County, and Long'an County). In 942 AD, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Yongzhou was renamed Chengzhou to avoid a naming taboo, while still serving as the seat of Jianwu Military Governor. During the Southern Han Dynasty (947-950 AD), it reverted to its original name, Yongzhou. The Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area in Nanning City began reconstruction in 1986 and officially opened in October 1987. The scenic area is planned into "four districts and one garden." Main attractions include the Millennium Cycad Garden, Orchid Garden, Cherry Blossom Garden, Rainforest Grand View, and the Anti-Japanese Student Army Monument.
