Guilin in Guangxi enjoys a high reputation, but in Liuzhou, an hour's drive from Guilin, the beautiful scenery is also remarkable. Beautiful scenery and urban landscape make Liuzhou, a livable city, more attractive.

1. East Gate Tower

Liuzhou Dongmen Tower was built in the 12th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1379), which is a well-preserved Ming Dynasty tower in Guangxi. Dongmen Tower is located at the northern end of Wen Hui Bridge. Boarding the tower, you can see the Liujiang River, the blue waves are boundless, the mountains are upside down, and the trees on the bridge are swaying, which is refreshing. In order to enrich the entertainment life of the citizens, the government also organizes evening performances in front of the East Gate Tower every Friday. The performance is rich in content, including dance, cross talk, sketches and songs. 2. Liu Hou Park

Liu Hou Park was built in memory of Liu Zongyuan, a great writer in Tang Dynasty and a former secretariat of Liuzhou, and it is also the most famous scenic spot in Guangxi. It was founded in the year of Tongyuan in the Qing Dynasty (1909). There are five historical sites related to Liu Zongyuan in Liu Hou Park: Luochi, Liu Hou Temple, Liu Zongyuan's Crown Tomb and Citrus Pavilion. There are nearly 7 hectares of artificial lakes in the park, with clear water and curved bridges, which set each other off. The lake is lush with trees, pavilions and rockeries and pleasant scenery. There are also colorful places and facilities such as bonsai garden, zoo and children's playground in the park. Liu Hou Park, like an oasis in the city center, is a good place for people to walk and play after public holidays and meals.

Many people say that Liuzhou people like to follow Liu Zongyuan's example, so I'll talk about the flowers in Liu Hou Park. Liuzhou has planted many landscape trees and flowers, especially bauhinia, and Liu Hou Park has also planted many bauhinia, which makes Liuzhou full of green lungs and aura. Bauhinia is also planted in Wantang Road outside Liu Hou Park. When it blooms, it is like cherry blossoms in Japanese streets. In addition, several cherry blossoms were planted in Liu Hou Park, mainly near the park monument. Cherry blossoms were presented by Nakamura Shigeru Xiong, Mayor of Matsuyama City in the early 1980s, representing the friendship between cities.

There are several elegant wisteria flowers in Liu Hou Park, which are fresh and elegant. Although there are not many wisteria flowers in Liu Hou Park, many tourists will come to enjoy and take photos when they bloom.

3. Dalongtan Park Dalongtan Park is a large-scale scenic spot integrating karst natural landscape, China southern minority customs culture and subtropical karst plant landscape. Dalongtan Park is surrounded by lush trees and mountains and has its own barrier. 24 peaks, including Wohu Mountain, Meiren Peak and The Peacock Mountain, surround Jinghu Lake, Longtan and Tan Lei. The "Longtan Storm Bridge" lying on the surface of Jinghu Lake is a reinforced concrete covered bridge with imitation wood structure, which was designed and built on the basis of Chengyang Storm Bridge in Sanjiang. The whole bridge pavilion has cornices, which are very distinctive. The nine-story drum tower built by water is a quadrangular tower structure, with double eaves, glazed decoration and gourd top, which is extraordinary in prestige; There is a landscape corridor inside, which spirals upwards and hangs a "money drum", which not only reflects the Dong people's intention to gather people by warning with drums, but also caters to the tourists' heart of climbing high and looking far. 4. Liuzhou Confucian Temple Liuzhou Confucian Temple was originally built in the early years of Tang Zhenguan, and its original site has been impossible to verify. In order to carry forward the spirit of Confucius, in 2009, Liuzhou Municipal Government decided to rebuild Liuzhou Confucian Temple at the foot of the stage, beside Heshan and Liujiang. The rebuilt Liuzhou Confucian Temple faces the northwest and is backed by the southeast mountains. It consists of main buildings such as Dachengmen, Dachengdian, Chongsheng Temple and Mingluntang. The architecture is mainly in Song Dynasty style, combined with Lingnan local style. 5. Panlongshan Park Panlongshan is located on the east bank of Liujiang River. Its mountain range consists of three peaks, and the river stands like a dragon, hence the name Park. In the Ming Dynasty, there were Wangshishan House and Pangu Temple on the mountain. After the tour, Xu Xiake gave a detailed introduction and praised the wonders here. In the Qing Dynasty, an ancient pagoda was built on the mountain and was later demolished. 1993 was rebuilt with funds from the municipal government and donations from all walks of life. In addition to rebuilding the "Wenguang Pagoda" in the ancient pagoda, a new "Panlong Pagoda" was built to echo the Wenguang Pagoda from a distance. At night, looking eastward from Liujiang Bridge, the colorful lights of the Twin Towers twinkle like stars, which forms a gorgeous night scene with the majestic posture of Liujiang Wen Hui Bridge. 6. Maanshan Park is located in the central area of the south bank of Liujiang River. There is a mountain called Maanshan, which is abrupt from east to west and sunken in the middle, and looks like a saddle. It echoes the things in Yufeng Mountain. Now the two mountains are connected by a cable car, and the two parks are now collectively called "Yuma Park". Maanshan is one of the highest peaks in Liuzhou, with the main peak 270 meters above sea level. Along the stone path from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Liuzhou, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Liuzhou. At present, there is an elevator that goes directly to the top of Ma 'anshan Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which provides convenience for people with inconvenient legs and feet. You can also have a bird's eye view of the whole city of Liuzhou without straining your legs.
