Guangxi Self-Driving Tour (Twenty-One)

Wuzhou has not only been the capital of both Guangdong and Guangxi, but it is also the birthplace of the Xijiang culture and the Longmu culture, as well as one of the origins of the Cantonese language. Cantonese language, Cantonese cuisine, night markets, and morning tea, wandering through the arcade streets to taste the authentic culture of Guangfu. Many people from Guangdong compare this place to Guangzhou from twenty or thirty years ago, seeking the slow-paced memories of the past. The four of us Beijing guys could feel the difference, but it was no match for our lack of understanding, fortunately, we had the self-awareness to order a group-buy Cantonese meal for six to eight people, and for morning tea, we chose nine out of sixteen options. Paper-wrapped chicken, scallion oil fish, preserved vegetable pork belly, tortoise jelly... We felt the atmosphere, satisfied our cravings, and the key point was that the prices were very affordable. After turning around the arcade street and walking on the river embankment, listening to the incomprehensible language, looking at the different scenery, we felt joy and happiness. The Xunjiang River comes from the west and accepts the Beijiang River from the north to form the Xijiang River. Even in the dry season of March, there are still many boats on the river. Imagining the eastward flowing river passing through Guangdong, joining the Pearl River, and rushing towards the South China Sea, it should be the area to experience in the next self-driving tour. After playing around the old town area on the north bank of the Xijiang River and the east bank of the Guijiang River, we crossed the Guijiang Bridge to the Riverside Park. The park is also a small hill, and we drove directly up to the Wuzhou Christian Church, a European-style building over a hundred years old. To its west is the Wuzhou Museum, free to visit (closed on Mondays). Coming out and walking to the other side of the hilltop, it's not high and very close to the former site of the British Consulate, which is also free to visit. To the east is Hegang Tower, an imitation ancient five-story building with flying eaves, very tall. From the top of the tower, you can see the Guijiang River flowing southward into the Xijiang River, and the old town area we have toured is in full view, with beautiful scenery and stirring emotions. However, the way tourists express themselves is by holding their phones, taking pictures and recording, occasionally uttering exclamations, which is hard to compare with the overflowing talent and ink of the ancients. Well, Wuzhou is nice, and it's good to be happy. Wuzhou  Guangxi
