Off to Slurp Noodles~ This May Day, Liuzhou Can't Be Beat!
The May Day holiday is almost here—have you planned your trip?
If you haven't decided where to relax and unwind,
Liuzhou is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
In recent years, Luosifen (snail rice noodles) has gone viral,
making Liuzhou famous on the internet and sparking a nonstop noodle-slurping craze.
But Liuzhou has much more than luosifen.
Let's explore: what other local specialties does Liuzhou have to offer?
Oil tea is a traditional Liuzhou snack,
simmered from tea leaves, peanuts, oil, salt, and other ingredients.
It's rich and mellow, known to refresh the mind and relieve heat and thirst.
Oil tea is typically paired with sticky rice, fried dough cakes, and the like,
creating a truly unique flavor experience.
Liuzhou's sticky rice is soft, glutinous, and delicious,
served with a variety of side dishes—pickled beans, sour bamboo shoots, cured pork,
and more—a firm local favorite.
Tofu rounds are another traditional Liuzhou treat,
made from tofu, minced meat, scallions, and other ingredients.
They can be steamed, boiled, pan-fried, or deep-fried,
boasting a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior—a rich, satisfying texture.
The snail and duck foot pot, which rode the wave of Luosifen's popularity,
is actually a time-honored Liuzhou specialty.
Duck feet and snails are simmered together, enhanced by the essential sour bamboo shoots,
chili peppers, and other seasonings.
It's sour, spicy, savory, and incredibly appetizing.
As the saying goes, 'Guangdong and Guangxi are one family.'
Located in Guangxi, Liuzhou shares the Cantonese fondness for sweet soups.
Mung bean sweet soup, seaweed sweet soup, papaya sweet soup—
the varieties are plentiful, sweet but not cloying.
When you're tired from exploring, a bowl is a refreshing way to cool down and quench your thirst.
Liuzhou's cuisine is rich and varied, with both local character and innovative fusions.
Whether you crave bold flavors or prefer something light,
you'll eat your fill in Liuzhou—wishing only that you had a 1080-terabyte stomach.
With so many mouthwatering dishes, you'll be stuffed to the brim
before you've even begun to taste them all.
Hurry and embark on a night cruise along the Liujiang River
to enjoy the scenery while digesting!
The river's banks connect sights like Liuzhou Confucian Temple, Panlong Mountain Waterfall,
and Riverside Park, creating a 'Hundred-Li Gallery.'
Under the night sky, the lights are dazzling and the views enchanting.
Among them, the Fenghuangling Bridge spanning the Liujiang River
is designed in the style of a Dong ethnic wind-and-rain bridge,
with five pavilions: octagonal, hexagonal, and hip-roofed styles.
At night, it's resplendent and glittering—a spectacular sight.
Stroll along the riverside promenade to the waterside platforms,
where locals take leisurely walks and many 'fishing enthusiasts' cast their lines.
Enjoy a refreshing river breeze and a relaxing time.
By the Liujiang River at night, Yaobu Ancient Town shines brilliantly.
Take ethnic-style photos in front of Longcheng Pavilion,
stroll along the artificial walkways, admire the man-made waterfall,
and soak up the town's romantic evening ambiance.
At Dongdi Tourist Pier, you can board a cruise boat
and drift along the spring waters of the Liujiang,
leisurely taking in the bustling scenes on both banks.
A 'sightsee-and-slurp' trip to Liuzhou
lets you not only soak in her beautiful scenery
but also deeply experience the city's cultural vibe.
Whether you're trekking over hills and streams,
weaving through streets and alleys, cruising on a boat,
or strolling through ancient towns, you're bound to have an unforgettable time.
