Liuzhou-Yizhou Half-Day Tour Guide

Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and want to find a quaint little town to relax? Today, I will recommend a great half-day destination for you - Huaiyuan Ancient Town and Xiaojian River in Liuzhou-Yizhou, which will make your weekend no longer boring! 📍Attraction Address: First of all, we need to know where to go, right? Huaiyuan Ancient Town is located in the northwest of Yizhou City, Guangxi, about an hour and a half drive from Liuzhou City. And Xiaojian River is near Huaiyuan Ancient Town, so it is very convenient to drive there. 🚗Attraction Transportation: If you are departing from Liuzhou City, it is recommended to drive there, because the scenery along the way is also very beautiful! Just search for "Huaiyuan Ancient Town" on the navigation, and you will find a smooth road with no traffic jams. If you can't find a parking space in the ancient town, don't worry, there is a parking lot by the river outside the ancient town. Although you have to pay a parking fee, it is better than having no place to park! 👍️Must-visit Attractions: Huaiyuan Ancient Town: As soon as you enter the ancient town, you will feel like you have traveled back in time, with stone roads, blue brick houses, small bridges, and flowing water, all exuding an ancient charm. Since it was Monday, there were not many tourists when we went, so we could leisurely walk and chat, enjoying the tranquility and comfort. There are also many specialty snacks and handicraft shops in the ancient town, so be sure to check them out! Xiaojian River: After visiting the ancient town, you can also go to the nearby Xiaojian River. Although the water was not very full when we went due to the dry season, the scenery by the river was still very beautiful. If you like water activities, you can also rent a small boat to float on the river and experience the feeling of "people traveling in a painting". However, be aware that some sections of the river require a fee, so be sure to ask in advance! 🎟️Ticket Information: Huaiyuan Ancient Town is free, no tickets are required. Some sections of Xiaojian River may require a fee, but the specific amount depends on which section you go to. We didn't go in because the water was not very full, so we didn't spend any money. However, if you want to play water activities or enter certain attractions, be sure to prepare cash or mobile payment in advance! 💗Other Tips: Dining: There are many snack stalls and restaurants in the ancient town, but if you want to eat more authentic food, I recommend you try "Old Brand Cold Dishes". Their vegetarian dishes are 15 yuan per pound, and chicken feet and chicken tips are 35 yuan per pound. The taste is super good, but a bit spicy. If you are afraid of spicy food, remember to ask the owner to put less chili! BBQ Recommendation: What to do when you are hungry at night? Of course, go for BBQ! We went to "Week Eight BBQ" opposite Hechi College, and the jam-flavored BBQ was simply delicious! However, because the business was so good, we waited for more than an hour before we could eat. If you want to go, remember to queue up in advance! Parking: There are many parking spaces outside the ancient town, but remember to ask about the fees! We parked in the parking lot by the river, and although there was a fee, it was reasonable. If you don't want to pay for parking, you can also try to find free parking spaces in the ancient town, but it may be a bit difficult to find! Overall, Yizhou is still a good choice! Although we went late and only played for a small half-day, it was worth it! If you also want to relax, why not take a weekend to visit Yizhou! I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
