Taxis or scooter rentals are recommended. 🏨Accommodation Recommendations ✅Budget-friendly Diwang International Hostel: Rooms on the 60th/49th floors offer panoramic views, comfortable mattresses, and luggage storage. Sunday rates are around CNY 158. ✅Mid-range City Comfort Bailan: Features floor-to-ceiling windows and good amenities, but the location is slightly off-center.

Next, follow my carefully planned 3-day, 2-night itinerary to uncover the mysterious charm of Liuzhou! ## I. Transportation Guide When you arrive in Liuzhou full of anticipation, I highly recommend heading straight to Liuzhou Railway Station 🚉. This train station is in a prime location, closer to the city center and many popular attractions. After getting off the train, taking a taxi 🚖 is also extremely convenient, allowing you to quickly start your Liuzhou journey.

That convenience will make your first impression of this city particularly wonderful.

Electric scooters, in particular, are the "secret weapon" for exploring Liuzhou. You can ride it nimbly through the streets and alleys, feeling the breeze on your face, and admiring the unique architecture and lively crowds along the way. Whether you're looking for authentic food hidden in the alleys or exploring those niche and unique attractions, an electric scooter can take you there with ease. ## II. Accommodation Suggestions I recommend choosing accommodation near Wuxing Pedestrian Street or Yintai City. These two locations are transportation hubs, with unparalleled convenience. From here, it's very easy to get to the surrounding attractions or to sample the local cuisine. Imagine returning to your hotel after a day of sightseeing, and just a few steps away you have a variety of restaurants and convenience stores. That convenient lifestyle will make your trip more comfortable. ## III. Recommended Itinerary ### Day 1 Let's start our Liuzhou journey from the bustling [Wuxing Street]!

In the afternoon, climb [Ma'anshan Mountain], which is an excellent viewing spot to overlook Liuzhou. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the entire city. Especially at night, when the city lights up, the night view is a favorite activity for young people. Looking at the bright lights under your feet and feeling the breeze, a sense of comfort and satisfaction arises spontaneously.

Drive or take a taxi and navigate directly to the North Gate parking lot About the itinerary: It is recommended to enter from the north gate (main gate), walk around the park and exit from the north gate again, and allow at least 2 hours to walk and take photos. My tour route is: turn left after entering the gate, and then travel around the park clockwise, passing by Miao Village, Jingshan, Fengyu Bridge, Cliff Carvings, Dalongtan and other scenic spots. The facilities are quite complete, with toilets and water dispensers throughout the journey. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests, so you must take protective measures. About taking photos: The weather factor has little impact. It is nice to come here on sunny or rainy days. There are two different atmospheres. √ It is recommended to go there in the morning and head straight to Jingshan and Fengyu Bridge aircraft stands. The earlier the better, as it will be crowded if you go there late. √ There is a photographer at Fengyu Bridge who specializes in taking photos for tourists. He is there early in the morning and takes very good photos. It costs 5 yuan per photo.

❗️❗️|||I love luosifen so much that I made a special trip from Guilin to Liuzhou to try it. I found that Liuzhou is not only famous for luosifen, but also a beautiful city. The downtown area is like a big park, perfect for a family trip. Transportation: 🚗 2-hour drive from Yangshuo to Liuzhou Itinerary: ✅Longtan Park: A beautiful park, perfect for a family trip. I recommend entering from the north gate. It is close to the popular photo spots: ✔️Jingshan (P7-P9): Go left from the north gate and keep walking. You will pass by it on the way to Fengyu Bridge. There is a Jingshan sign. Follow the steps to get there. It is not far, just a few minutes' walk. It is a bit steep, but the two kids climbed up by themselves. ✔️Fengyu Bridge (P2-P5): Turn left after coming down from Jingshan and keep walking for about 200 meters. You will see a lot of people there. ✔️Big Banyan Tree (P6): On the right side of Fengyu Bridge. You can see it from the bridge. 💡In addition to these popular photo spots, I found that the 🌴 coconut grove at the entrance is also a great place to take photos 📷. It has a great atmosphere. (P10-P12) 🍜Lunch: Cao Mei Luosifen and A Jiao. I like the taste of Cao Mei. Kids can buy some noodles and dumplings next door. ✅Yaobu Ancient Town (P13-P14) It is too commercialized. To be honest, you can have a meal there and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Liujiang River in the evening. ✅Liujiang Music Fountain (P15-P18) Kids love this kind of scene. There are two shows: 20:00-20:15 and 21:00-21:15. 🚗Return trip. The starry sky on the highway at night is amazing. I was in a hurry, so I just took a quick tour. I look forward to visiting this beautiful city again.

I came to Liuzhou again and still liked it very much. My favorite thing to do in Liuzhou is to ride a scooter and walk along the river. See Liuzhou in different light and shadow, see people swimming in the Liujiang River, see the fishermen fishing by the river... Longtan Park and Ma'anshan Park are a must. In the morning, you can visit the Guxu Vegetable Market, feel the price of vegetables and the fireworks in Liuzhou, and eat local small shops that have not been hyped by Internet celebrities. After eating and drinking, ride a scooter, cross the bridge to the other side of the river, and drink a small and beautiful coffee at will, chat with the boss, listen to her recommend local food... In the afternoon, you can aimlessly ride a scooter to the surrounding old communities, or simply ride to the snail powder town. At night, with a group of people, wait for the lights to turn on at the Ma'anshan Observation Deck. When you are hungry at night, even if it is already one o'clock in the morning, you can ride a scooter outside at will, and you will find a street stall with a lot of people at a certain intersection. When I heard the introduction of the locals, I had a stall for many years, and I also came to a copy decisively, and it was really delicious. This time I came to Liuzhou, I felt like I was visiting an old friend, making up for some regrets about things I didn't do last time, and preparing to leave "perfectly"
