Yaobu Ancient Town

Liuzhou is really a city that once you visit, you'll want to come again. The Bauhinia flowers in Liuzhou are expected to be in full bloom by mid-April, so here's a complete two-day one-night guide to eating, drinking, and having fun in Liuzhou ❤️❤️The following guide is planned according to the distance and time between various locations 💛DAY1, Liuzhou Station - Rent an e-scooter/Take a taxi - Luosifen - Return to hotel - Bauhinia flowers (location below) - Xin Shihui Beef and Beef Offal Hotpot - Yaobu Ancient Town - Hotel - North Station Night Market/Shengli Barbecue City - Hotel 💚DAY 2, Hotel - Qingyun Minsheng Market - Longtan Park - Luosifen at various shops - Liuzhou Industrial Museum/Wuxing Road Pedestrian Street - Duck Feet Pot/Luosifen - Liuzhou Station. ❗️❗️Key points to note: 1⃣Liuzhou is quite small, and an electric scooter can usually last a day's charge. Taxis start at 6 yuan, and the distances are generally just a few to a dozen yuan. If the weather permits, it's recommended to rent an e-scooter. There are many places to rent electric vehicles near Liuzhou Station, such as Xiaoniu Electric Vehicles, etc. You can rent one right after getting off the high-speed train, and if you run out of power, you can swap for another e-scooter at a nearby chain store, for about 30-40 yuan a day 2⃣For accommodation, choose a place near the five-star hotels, within walking distance to Qingyun Minsheng Market, North Station Night Market, etc. If you're renting an e-scooter, you can opt for a slightly further hotel with better value for money haha 3⃣For Luosifen, it's up to personal choice, no specific recommendations. If you don't mind queuing, you can try the popular stores. Besides the longer wait, popular stores are less likely to disappoint, and the taste is usually good. I've casually tried a few non-popular Luosifen stores, and the taste was also great haha 4⃣I visited Liuzhou on 3.31, and the Bauhinia flowers were almost not blooming yet. Locals told me that the best time to see the Bauhinia flowers in Liuzhou is expected to be from mid-April to early May. Below is the flower viewing guide❗️ 🌸【Photo-taking routes】 Jinglan Road, Liushi Road, Wenhui Road, Shuinan Road, Tanzhong West Road, Wenchang Road, Binjiang East Road, Dongdi Road, Xidi Road, Hualing Area Roads, Binjiang West Road, Binjiang East Road, Hangyi Road, Huanjiang Riverside Avenue, etc. 🌸Flower viewing parks: Liuhou Park, Binjiang Park, Zoo, Garden Expo Park, Yufeng Park, Longtan Park, Shuangyu Hui North Road, Panlong Mountain Park, Queer Mountain Park, Citizen Square, etc. You can choose according to your own distance, Bauhinia flowers are everywhere 5⃣Yaobu Ancient Town looks better when the lights are on at night. Xin Shihui Beef and Beef Offal Hotpot is just outside Yaobu Ancient Town, so you can stroll around Yaobu Ancient Town after eating at Xin Shihui (it's recommended to go early, otherwise you might have to queue). If you want to take photos, you can rent a set of ethnic minority costumes there (about 50), and if you want someone to help with makeup, it will cost about 100 more. Go early, as the good-looking clothes get picked out if it's too late

📍About the route: On the first evening, after visiting Yaobu Ancient Town, we headed straight to Shengli Barbecue City. I felt that Yaobu Ancient Town was too commercialized, with uniform costume rentals and photography services. If you're not interested in dressing up for photos, you might as well skip it, as the night view is just so-so. On the second day, we set off early in the morning for Longtan Park. If you want to capture those beautiful spots, I suggest arriving by 9:30 am to avoid the frustrating queues. The route for the photo spots is in my previous note. In the afternoon, we visited the Industrial Museum, where the red wall is really beautiful. After dinner, we arranged for a tea bran hair wash, which is a must-try! It's very relaxing~ 🏨About accommodation: Yishang Hotel (Five Star Pedestrian Street Branch), Liuzhou's accommodation is dddd, this one has a good environment and is clean, with a superior location. The tea bran hair wash is on the 12th floor of this building, and the environment is so much better than on the street. 🍜About food: Here are the recommended places. Overall, don't chase after internet-famous spots too much, nor should you avoid them entirely. The taste of snail noodles is more or less the same everywhere, but the queues can really be overwhelming. ✔️Lu Jie Fried Ice ✔️Ding Dong Fried Ice ✔️Fa Ji Hot Brine (Five Star Food Street) ✔️Wei Wei Cassava Soup (Their duck dishes are also delicious) ✔️Luo Yi Snail Noodles ✔️Da Hua Dry Mix Noodles ✔️Jin Di Fried Snail Noodles (Many people say it's tasty, but I think it lacks wok hei) 🚖About transportation: Transportation in Liuzhou is really convenient. Besides renting electric bikes🛵 and the local specialty 'Chopped Pepper Fish Head'🚗, taking a taxi is also very easy, with a starting fare of 6 yuan!
