Located in eastern Guangxi Province at the point where the Gui River meets the Xun River to form the Xi River, Wuzhou is an area of intense natural beauty.
This is a good place for nature lovers to hang out as there is a large national park nearby as well as several large and lovely gardens. The small city is surrounded by mountains and climbing to the top provides spectacular views of the entire area. However, there isn’t much in the way of lively nightlife here and the city tends to sleep pretty early.
Wuzhou is the world’s largest man-made gem production base, and this is a good place to pick up gems and soybean milk crystal. Other local products include tortoise herb jelly and candied dates. Wuzhou is also the home of Asia’s largest breeding base for the Francois’ leaf monkey, making it a popular destination for animal lovers.
Getting There & Away
Wuzhou has its own airport with regular flights to airports such as Nanning, Guilin and the international airports of Guangzhou and Shenzhen (55 minutes). There are two bus stations, with buses to surrounding towns and cities in Guangdong and beyond.
