Rongshui is a small county bordering the city of Liuzhou and nestled within the surrounding mountains. While it is a very picturesque town, it does not offer many attractions.
It is the kind of place people visit to get away from it all. While the local people are friendly, their knowledge of English will be minimal - if anything at all and therefore unless you visit for the day, staying here will be very difficult, which is why most people just visit for the day.
The most popular sights with the exception of the countryside are the local markets and traditional buildings. It is home to a number of ethnic tribes as well who are mainly farmers and still live very traditional lives.
Getting There & Away
Liuzhou is home to the closest airport, which is about an hour away on bus. Flights arrive from Beijing (3 hours) and Shanghai (5 hours) as well as Haikou, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. All long distance buses stop in Liuzhou where you change to a smaller, more local bus.
