Lu Xu Ancient Town - The thousand-year-old Binyang Fire Dragon Festival and the sour and refreshing Binyang Sour Rice Noodles.
The Binyang Fire Dragon Festival has a history of over a thousand years and is a national intangible cultural heritage. It is a unique oriental carnival held in the ancient town of Lu Xu, which also has a long history. The ancient town is not far from Nanning and can be reached by car in an hour. It is as if it is a world away.
When I came, I didn't catch the Fire Dragon Festival, but I had a better experience of the ancient town's long history and simplicity. The bluestone path, the old earth wall, the old man sitting at the door, various handicrafts and seals, the quiet river, the leisurely cat... After a walk, the hustle and bustle of the city's soul returned to its original state, and it was quiet in an instant. After the tour, be sure to taste the famous local Binyang Sour Rice Noodles.
Catch up with the spring season when the new town and the ancient town are only one street away from the rape blossoms, and you can stop halfway to take a few shots.
The picturesque Guangxi Wugong Mountain｜Nanning Dasheng Mountain is so photogenic
||Dasheng Mountain is located in central Guangxi, mainly distributed in the three counties and cities of Binyang, Hengzhou, and Guigang. It is the main peak of Zhenlong Mountain, with an altitude of 1170 meters. Dasheng Mountain is known for its well-preserved natural ecology, covering an area of about 90,000 mu, with nearly 80,000 mu of forest land. The mountain is densely forested and rich in rare species, such as ancient pines, ancient cypresses, ancient banyans, and moso bamboo. The main peak of Dasheng Mountain rises abruptly, with surrounding secondary peaks forming many steep cliffs that are difficult to climb. The nearly 100-meter-high cliff at the peak is extremely thrilling. There is a legend about Dasheng Mountain: a young woodcutter watched a game of chess in the mountain and found that hundreds of years had passed in the human world. He later became the mountain god and brought rain to the human world, hence the name Dasheng Mountain. Dasheng Mountain boasts spectacular natural landscapes such as the Jiulong Waterfall Group, as well as rich cultural landscapes, such as Neolithic sites, chime bells from the Spring and Autumn Period, and bronze drums from the Western Jin Dynasty. Dasheng Mountain is not only picturesque but also rich in natural and cultural value, making it a great place for hiking!
