Longtan Park

Located in the southern city of Liuzhou in China's Guangxi Province, Longtan Park is a blissful oasis of natural wonder surrounded by the urban sprawl. Getting here is very simple...taxi, private car, bus or even just walking are all fine. Entrance is free, but expect the stroll around the entire place to take more than a couple of hours, depending on the route you take. There are several trails to choose from, allowing you to see the several beautiful lakes, along with the wonderful plants and trees growing all around. Take a break at one of the many quiet pavillions or have a picnic on the open grass, this place caters for all visitors! Be sure to visit the impressive pagoda bridge over the lake and walk across for magnificent views on both sides. You can visit here anytime of year and take amazing photos or videos and have fun. If you are in Liuzhou and have some time to spare, then definitely try to come and see this place, you won't regret it! #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers

There are rental points on both sides of the exit of the high-speed railway station, with a daily rent of 30-40 yuan. 🚕 Alternatively, you can choose to take a taxi, which is also not expensive. 🏨 For accommodation, you can choose to stay near Wuxing Street (lots of food, lively) / or near Liuzhou High-speed Railway Station (convenient for returning the vehicle and collecting luggage). 🗺【Recommended Route】 🌄DAY1: 🎪Qingyun Market→Liujang Bridge→Xilai Temple→Tieqiao East Bus Station→Intersection of Dongtai Road and Binjiang East Road→Yao Bu Ancient Town ⭐️ Qingyun Market: Only open during the morning market (6:00-12:00), the market environment is average, but there are various delicacies, such as 🥟 sticky food, 🥩 dried meat, rolled rice noodles, corn juice, etc. 🙅 If you can't get up early and you're staying near Wuxing Street, you can go to Dahua Dry Noodles – the crispy sausage added is amazing. ⬇️ ⭐️ Liujang Bridge/Style Port: Here you can see the splendid buildings and water buses shuttling through. ⬇️ ⭐️ Xilai Ancient Temple: The plaques and buildings outside the temple are magnificent. ⬇️ ⭐️ Navigate to Tieqiao East Bus Station, which is known as Liuzhou's 'Little Kamakura'. Trains occasionally pass over the bridge. 📷 Niche photo spot: The riverbank next to it is a good place to take pictures. Photographers can stand on the slope of Little Kamakura and shoot from above. ⬇️ 🚏 Intersection of Dongtai Road and Binjiang East Road The traffic light at the T-junction and the Liujang River and water buses behind create a full Japanese style. - 🎇 Yao Bu Ancient Town The ancient town is quaint, and Longcheng Pavilion is a great place to take photos. Many girls take photos here in ethnic makeup. Come around four or five o'clock to catch the lights turning on after six, and the night view is also beautiful. The commercial street has a lot of delicious food, recommended are the beef offal hotpot and fish roe raw beef barbecue. 🌅DAY2: ⛲ Longtan Park→Ma'anshan Park→Liujang Riverbank Music Fountain - ⭐️ Longtan Park: Very photogenic! You can plan to spend half a day here. 📐 The crooked-neck tree can be seen a short walk to the right after entering the park, and Lei Tan (which has a small Seven Holes vibe) is on the fork next to the crooked-neck tree, go up to reach it! 🖼 The Mirror Mountain photo spot is on the left side when returning to the main gate, keep walking and you will see the signpost. ⭐️ Ma'anshan Park 🌇 Climb the mountain at sunset, take the elevator to save energy, and come down after the night view lights up at seven – you can take beautiful photos of Liuzhou's night view from the viewing platform! 🎶🎵 At eight o'clock, you can watch the music fountain by the Liujang River – there are performances at both eight and nine o'clock. - 😋【Food Recommendations】 🍜 Luosifen: ⭐️ Jindi Fried Luosifen: Super popular food, the fried luosifen and fried duck feet pot are full of flavor and taste great. ⭐️ Jiaojie Luosifen: A must-eat every time I come to Liuzhou, although the queue is long, it's definitely worth it – their noodles are flavorful and fragrant. ⭐️ Opposite the deep alley Luosifen is 'Apo Tofu Pudding', where the icy tofu pudding and blooming corn syrup are super delicious! ⭐️ Dahua Dry Noodles: Open 24 hours, the dry noodles taste very good.

📍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.

The stunning Da Longtan. Besides Wuling and Luosifen, Liuzhou also boasts beautiful scenery. Longtan Park, also known as Da Longtan Scenic Area, is located in the southern part of Liuzhou city, adjacent to the city center. It is a large scenic area that combines the karst landscape, the culture of southern China's ethnic minorities, and the subtropical karst plant landscape. The park is surrounded by lush trees and mountains, with 24 peaks of various shapes, including the Crouching Tiger Mountain, Beauty Peak, and Peacock Mountain. The clear waters of the pond flow into Jinghu Lake, and the water temperature of the two ponds, Lei and Long, is constant. In the deep winter, the water vapor steams up, hence the name 'Twin Ponds Misty Rain'. Many locals like to come here for walks, exercise, admire the cliff carvings of Leishan and the classic Wind and Rain Bridge, and when the weather is good, they can also go boating on the lake. In addition, there is a small amusement park and an outdoor swimming pool suitable for children, as well as Dong and Miao villages with ethnic elements, which are very worth visiting.
