Life Guide: Be sure to visit this place before leaving Nanning!
I'm really surprised why after visiting Nanning once, not many people talk about it.
This is a city like a treasure, yet very low-key.
It has beautiful landscapes, simple folk customs,
and the extraordinarily lively night markets.
The food is plentiful and the value for money is extremely high.
It's just too suitable for a short weekend getaway.
Here are 10 must-visit places in Nanning that I personally recommend📸
① Qingxiu Mountain (go check in at the spot where ancient and modern times meet, and the fairy-like botanical garden)
② Tingzi Wharf (European architecture and the fountain rose at the entrance are very beautiful)
③ Pingxi Night Market & Nongyuan Road Night Market (there are a lot of delicious foods, and the value for money is very high)
④ Liangqing Bridge & Lin Jingyun's Former Residence (the large lawn by the river is super suitable for camping, and taking photos with the bridge can produce a blockbuster feel)
⑤ Nanning Fantawild (no need to go abroad to experience 11 countries at once)
⑥ ASEAN Glory Land (Nanning's must-visit classic staircase)
⑦ Three Streets and Two Alleys (you can overlook the panoramic sunset from the Baisheng Building)
⑧ Nanning Ancient City Wall (you can check in at the riverside sunset, Changyou Pavilion, peculiar tree roots, and riverside stairs)
⑨ 403 Heji Book Nest (a bookstore with a great atmosphere)
⑩ Mandarin Duck Building (a residential building full of historical sense)
Nanning's food check-in spots
① Old friend noodles/snail noodles/roll noodles that can be seen everywhere are very delicious, and the value for money is also very high
② The barbecue stalls at various night markets are quite good
③ The fruits available everywhere are also of great value for money
④ Lemon duck is also very delicious! The duck meat has a faint lemon fragrance
!!Dining Tips:
When playing outside, although the food is tempting, it's inevitable to have stomach discomfort. Therefore, every time I travel, I always bring Thai classic gastrointestinal medicine and Wei Zheng Wan, which can quickly relieve stomach pain and long-term use can also regulate the stomach. Carrying it with me not only helps myself but also takes care of my family's gastrointestinal health, making me feel very relieved~

🚗Speaking of how to get there, whether by bus or taxi, it's so easy! The zoo is located in the western suburbs of Nanning, about 20 kilometers from the city center, with very convenient transportation.

🐬The Ocean Pavilion is waiting for you to dive into the blue world, with dolphins leaping and sharks patrolling, hiding the secrets of the deep sea and wonderful stories.
🐒Finally, Monkey Mountain, where gibbons perform acrobatics, chimpanzees show their intelligence, and baboons display their comical nature, guaranteed to make you exclaim with delight. Observing the animals' lives, you'll feel the harmony of nature.
📋Note that there are many rules in the zoo, so don't bother the animals, watch quietly, and play civilly.
What to wear? Of course, comfortable and fashionable attire!👚 Shoes should be comfortable for walking, after all, we are going to stroll in nature.
Lastly, let me share a little secret: bring some snacks and fruit, find a quiet place, and enjoy the leisurely afternoon!🍉🍇

Self-healing, spend a day at the Nanning Zoo
Located in Xixiangtang District, Nanning City, at 73 University East Road, Nanning Zoo is nestled within a tropical botanical garden. It is home to a variety of rare animals from around the world, such as the beloved giant pandas, golden monkeys, dolphins, sea lions, turtles, and gibbons, among more than two hundred other species, totaling over 2600 adorable animals. Who says zoos are just for kids? Adults and seniors can also interact with the animals, maintain friendly connections, and it's a great way to relieve stress, boredom, and solve psychological issues as a form of self-healing.
This weekend in the deep winter, the weather is not very supportive, with continuous rain. My husband, daughter, and I, along with our friend Qianqian, went to play at the Nanning Zoo. Inside the park, there are electric cars that travel between the various attractions, but I do not recommend taking a car tour.
🌟 Highlights:
Our focus was on visiting the animals, with watching animal performances as a secondary activity, and we did not pay much attention to the theme park area. The first thing was to find the tour map and follow it to visit the beaver otter pavilion, kangaroo pavilion, camel pavilion, and to meet the gentle giraffes. We spent 15 yuan to buy some branches to attract the giraffes to stretch out their unique long necks. The clever animals quickly and calmly took the leaves into their mouths. The 'internet-famous big black gorilla' seemed to be in a relatively stable mood, without any crazy stereotyped behaviors.
In life, people often use 'crocodile tears' to describe hypocrisy. The crocodile pavilion reveals the biological mystery behind crocodile tears. It turns out that the 'saltwater crocodile' living in seawater expels excess salt through the olfactory organs around its eyes, while 'freshwater crocodiles' cannot shed tears. Also, the endearing giant pandas gave up their nap to meet with visitors. The panda pavilion was surrounded by tourists, and everyone, young and old, felt like they couldn't get enough of watching them.
As we walked, it was time to watch the animal performances. We saw dolphins and sea lions, under the trainer's command, make a dazzling appearance, performing various difficult stunts, winning people's laughter and greatly relieving stress. There were also turtles, elephants, waterfowl, and parrot pavilions, covering all bases, and the whole visit took about half a day.
An important insight from visiting the Nanning Tropical Zoo is that the important survival strategy for tropical animals is their slow movement. For us, not everything should be rushed. Many times, slowing down is the process of accumulating energy, which is another form of speed.
