The tree on the Nanning Ancient City Wall is so full of life!

Hidden in the city center, the Nanning Ancient City Wall is a must-visit for history buffs! Dear friends, when you travel to Nanning, besides enjoying the noodles, you must come and see the Nanning Ancient City Wall hidden in the city center, full of historical charm~ 📍Location: Just navigate to "Nanning Ancient City Wall," located on Jiangbei Avenue in Qingxiu District, right on the east side of the north end of Yongjiang Bridge, very easy to find! 🚗 Transportation: • Metro: Take Line 1 or 2 to Chaoyang Square Station, exit F, then walk about 900 meters. You can also enjoy the street view along the way. • Bus: Get off at Yongjiang Bridge North Station, then walk about five minutes, very close. • Self-driving: You can park at Yongjiang Hotel, but parking fees apply. 🎫 Admission: Free to visit, you can feel the weight of history without spending a penny, super cost-effective. 🌟 Activities: • Photo check-in: The ancient city wall is very photogenic, with old banyan tree roots winding on the wall, and the mottled wall full of historical atmosphere. Wearing ancient costumes or simple styles for photos will easily produce stunning shots. Standing by the wall with Yongjiang River as the background, every photo looks great. • Learn history: The existing ancient city wall is closely connected to the ancient Nanning flood control dike. It was originally built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has gone through the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. It was restored in 2005 according to the Qing Dynasty city wall style. It is about 112 meters long and 12 meters high, a "living fossil" for studying Nanning’s urban construction and defense history. There is usually an information board nearby; take a close look to learn a lot. • Nearby attractions: ◦ Winter Swimming Pavilion: Right next to the ancient city wall. In 1958, Chairman Mao swam in the Yongjiang River here, which is the entry point. You can still see many people swimming in the Yongjiang River now. ◦ Riverside Running Track: Along the Yongjiang River, the track offers beautiful scenery. Running or walking while enjoying the river breeze is very pleasant. ◦ Sanjie Liangxiang (Three Streets and Two Alleys): Not far from the ancient city wall, Nanning’s famous historical and cultural district. It has a great atmosphere at night, with various specialty shops and local delicacies like Laoyou noodles and rolled rice noodles. 🕙 Opening Hours: Open all day, come whenever you want. The sunlight during the day is perfect for photos, and the lighting at night adds a special charm. When you come to Nanning, be sure to visit the ancient city wall and feel the heartbeat of this city’s history~ #NanningAncientCityWall #NanningTravel #HistoricalSites #NanningCheckIn
