Yaobu Ancient Town

Yaobu Ancient Town ( 窯埠古鎮) is located in Liuzhou, in southern China's Guangxi Province. To get here, you can take a bus or private car. It is also just as simple to take a taxi and drop off at the entrance next to the street. The best time to visit is in the evening, when the sun sets over the river and the lights on buildings become illuminated. Walking in, you are presented with the river on the right and a collection of people selling souvenirs and snacks. Keep walking ahead towards the main square, where everything is centered around a very impressive large pavillion that stand out amongst everything else. It is very photogenic from all angles and I liked this building alot. There are various small alleys to explore, with coffee shops, bars and restaurants selling local food and many other types of cuisine. You can also view and purchase traditional arts and crafts here too. You can visit here anytime of year, but spring and summer are the best times-although beware of mosquitoes. In winter it can get a little cold in the evening next to the river. This is a great place for couples or families as I feel it caters for these two groups of people the best. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

Stayed at this hotel in Liuzhou, and now I don't want to leave... Coming to Liuzhou's Yaobu Ancient Town was definitely the right choice! It's really great to take photos and have fun, so comfortable, I really don't want to leave, super satisfied with the hotel I stayed in! From the room, you can see the beautiful scenery of Yaobu Ancient Town. Especially at night, looking outside, it's really super beautiful. The hotel's exterior is in a Chinese retro style. The windows, doors, and every corner are filled with national style, and there are many old objects and collections. Taking photos is really beautiful. I rented some Miao ethnic clothing, and the photos taken are incredibly beautiful. You don't even need to go out to take beautiful pictures, I'm really happy. The room is arranged very clean and hygienic, at a glance it looks very tidy and the space is large. Staying here feels like being at home, so comfortable, and walking on the street feels very relaxing.

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!

🔜 Arrived at Liuzhou Railway Station at noon, dropped off the luggage and headed straight to Ma'anshan (p2️⃣-3️⃣). Originally wanted to take the elevator, but it was not open, so had to climb up. However, the climb offered a lot of scenery. It took a total of more than two hours to go up and down. Got hungry around four o'clock and wanted to eat the Luosifen recommended by the driver, but Erkong Apo's Luosifen was closed. Felt a bit sad and then just ate at another Luosifen place next door (p4️⃣, forgot the name, sob sob), which was super delicious! Really recommend it! It was a blessing in disguise. The noodles were chewy, and I also ordered a bowl of cold mixed noodles, which was amazingly good! Sour and spicy, so delicious. After eating, wanted to take the bus to Wenmiao, but by some mix-up ended up at Liujing Bridge and did a city walk, took some photos. In the evening, went straight to Wenmiao and Yao Bu ancient town (p5️⃣-7️⃣). Wenmiao is worth a visit, but the ancient town is just average, quite commercialized, mostly for taking portrait photos. The Dangdang fried ice was so-so, but the corn syrup water was not bad. In the afternoon, went to Longtan Park (p8️⃣-1️⃣0️⃣). It was sunny that day with a bit of wind, really comfortable. No need to rent a car, just walk and stop, two hours is enough. Also played some amusement projects in the park. Didn't have dinner in the evening, went straight to Wuxing Pedestrian Street (p1️⃣1️⃣-1️⃣3️⃣). First went to eat at Pork Shop, this shop is right opposite to Fugui Glutinous Rice Dumplings. The honey-flavored ones are delicious! The spicy ones are a bit too spicy, not recommended for those who can't handle spice. Then it's Fugui Glutinous Rice Dumplings! I really love it, went there specially again on the third day, tried five flavors. My personal ranking is that yogurt strawberry and molten matcha red bean are the best! Cheese blueberry and purple rice red bean are also good. If you want to buy more, you can. The molten taro and custard are a bit greasy. Then tried Liufangfang Duck Feet Pot, not bad but not a must-eat. Further inside, there's a bit of honey duck leg which is delicious, worth trying! Further inside is Qili Sweet Soup, I highly recommend this shop! The environment is good and the desserts are delicious, especially recommend the osmanthus bean curd, the taste and texture are superb. At noon, went to eat the very popular Feng Zhang Luosifen (p1️⃣4️⃣), ordered a dry mix Luosifen and refreshing noodles, both were not bad but not as good as the hype online, haha, still recommend the one eaten on the first day more. In the afternoon, went to Liuzhou Museum (p1️⃣5️⃣). The museum is quite small, didn't expect to finish the tour in less than an hour. We thought it would take a long time, so we didn't plan anything else and went back to Wuxing Pedestrian Street to stroll and eat. Ate Fugui Glutinous Rice Dumplings again, and also tried Ba Wang Ji Liu, recommend! Ordered a three-mix, I like the rice cake the most! (forgot to take a photo, sob sob) Finally, at four o'clock, took a taxi to Liuzhou Station, time to go home~ Overall impression, Liuzhou's traffic is a bit chaotic, some drivers can be impatient, and if there's a traffic jam, they might even drop you off early and not take you to your destination, which is quite speechless. The food and fun are all very concentrated, and the prices are quite low. A taxi ride never exceeded ten yuan. You can pay more attention to some small shops, don't be too fixated on popular online shops. Be more casual with your activities, and you will discover many beauties of Liuzhou.

In Panlong Mountain Park, there is a small mountain, very steep, but with few stone steps, you can reach the pavilion in a short time, and you can overlook the neighboring Yaobu Ancient Town and the not far away Wenchang Bridge. Next to Panlong Mountain Park is a Deng Gao Platform, which is a pavilion. The breeze is coming slowly on the pavilion, and under the feet are lush woods and the green water of the Liujang River, connecting the not far away Confucius Temple. In the opposite direction of Yaobu Ancient Town, walking along the river, you will reach Wen Hui Bridge. There are many connected scenic spots here, friends with good physical strength can try to walk from Nanche Du Wharf to the east to visit Yaobu Ancient Town,

Yanyu Ancient Town is located in Dongdi South Road, Liuzhou, Guangxi. It is one of the ten key projects of Liuzhou. It has 400,000 square meters of ancient towns and is surrounded by rivers. It is also the finishing touch of Baili Liujiang. However, what makes me strange is that local friends in Liuzhou have suggested that we must go to the kiln town at night. Why is this? When we walked along the steps from the Kingyu Ancient Town to the bank of Liujiang, we finally discovered the mystery. It turns out that there is a unique night view of the whole city of Liuzhou and even Guangxi, which is worth a visit. Only on the banks of the Liujiang River, opposite the modern scene of the high-rise buildings, the waterfalls are flowing under the feet, and the natural scenery, under the cover of the night, modern and natural, modern and original ecology, harmonious, harmonious, unique flavor . High-rise buildings, neon flashing city night scenes, we may have long been eccentric, but half of them are waterfalls, and half of them are high-rises of this kind of city night scene. I saw it for the first time, it is so special! No wonder many friends in Liuzhou told me that the night view of Liuzhou is very famous in Guangxi and even in China. When we saw it in the Liujiang River in the ancient town of Yaoyao, we had to be convinced. It is.
