Top 10 attractions in Wuzhou
Arcade City
The arcade city refers to the continuous arcade group in Wuzhou Hedong Old Town. The arcades are not uncommon in the south, but not many can be called "city". This arcade in Wuzhou is not only well preserved, but also one of the best in terms of architectural concentration and scale in my country. From Dadongshang Road to Beihuan Road and Guilin Road, you can see not only Nanyang-style and Baroque-style arcades, but also many historical buildings and old houses. Of course, there are also many specialty shops and delicious snacks. When the merchants were prosperous, there were more than 1,500 large and small businesses in the arcade city. The former glory has long since faded, and the small shops along the street are running their own business and have become a tepid leisure area. There are many sculptures reflecting the style of Wuzhou on the street, showing the life scenes of the citizens of Wuzhou in the old days. Walking on the street between the arcades, the huge statue of the Dragon Mother in the distance quietly overlooks the old city. In the midst of this prosperous change, many historical relics are still preserved. The former site of the Dadong Post Office on Dadong Shang Road, from which a telegram was sent in 1884, is still reserved as a post office today. There are many beautiful modern dwellings in Weixinli. The deep-walled compound and the exquisite carvings are worth savoring. The Catholic Church built in 1898 is also located here. Walking in the arcade city, there are many specialty shops along the street, and Wuzhou specialty snacks are also not to be missed.Wuzhou · 3.8km from downtown

The incense is very popular. This is the first time I have seen such a large incense coil. I like the smell of incense in the temple!
Ringing the bell and beating the drum are free.
The staff at the ticket gate will help keep the luggage.
It is very suitable to bring parents around. ...

Exploring Wuzhou was a breezy adventure — especially discovering White Cloud Mountain! 🌳🏞️ If you’re a Sri Lankan traveler (or just love lush forest vibes), worry not: this isn’t a “hardcore” high-altitude climb, but a gentle escape into nature with that classic rain forest feel.My Tip: Don’t be intimidated by the word “mountain”—it's more of a green hill with shady woodland paths, great for a chill walk or picnic. Even during the rainy season, it’s not slippery or dangerous, so you can enjoy the natural mist and fresh air. Wear comfy walking shoes; the trails suit all fitness levels.Food Recommendation: There are a few neighborhood noodle shops nearby — try the Guilin Rice Noodles for a quick bite after your hike.Travel Tips: No need for advanced tickets or special gear. The weather is humid but manageable (an umbrella helps if you visit in rainy season). Cash or mobile payments both work, but always good to have some yuan.#Wuzhou #WhiteCloudMountain #ChinaNature #RainForestVibes #tripdotcom

Wuzhou Museum is located at the top of the mountain in Riverside Park. You can take a direct elevator up the mountain and visit other attractions in Riverside Park together.
There are not many exhibits in the museum, but some of them are worth a closer look, but the overall layout and introduction are a bit rough.

Li Jishen's former residence is worth recommending to everyone. It is one of the classic red tourism scenic spots. It has been a spiritual baptism and has taught me a lot. The scenery is pleasant and the price-performance ratio is very high. I took my time to visit it and learned a lot of historical knowledge.

Wuzhou Zhongshan Memorial Hall is located in Zhongshan Park in the center of Wuzhou. In order to prepare for the Northern Expedition, Sun Yat-sen visited Wuzhou three times from 1921 to 1922. On March 12, 1925, after Sun Yat-sen died in Beijing, Li Jishen, director of the Wuzhou Aftermath Office, proposed to raise funds to build the Zhongshan Memorial Hall in Beishan Park. In January 1926, the foundation laying ceremony of the memorial hall was held. In the summer of 1928, the groundbreaking ceremony officially started. It was completed in October 1930 and was the second earliest Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall built in the country. In the center of the square in front of the memorial hall stands a full-body statue of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. There are stone lions and flower beds on both sides of the memorial hall. The front seat of the memorial hall is a four-story tower dome. The front door is inscribed with "Zhongshan Memorial Hall", which was written by Chen Jitang, the governor of Guangdong Province at that time; the back seat is a hall for thousands of people. The front of the hall is the rostrum. In the center of the rostrum is a bronze portrait of Sun Yat-sen and the full text of his will. On both sides of the rostrum are Sun Yat-sen's last words: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades must continue to work hard." The hall also displays a photo exhibition of Sun Yat-sen's life and deeds and replicas of cultural relics. It is worth taking your children to visit and learn.

The second time I went to Wuzhou, I went to Zhongshan Park again. Due to epidemic prevention and control requirements, only the west gate of the park was open, and you had to go up along the road. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall was open this time, so I went in and visited it. It was okay.

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.
