Leisure Spots in Nanning | A Slow-Paced Journey in Early Summer

| A Slow-Paced Journey in Early Summer. Early summer is the perfect time to pack your bags and embark on a leisurely getaway🌿. Highly recommend visiting Nanning, the "Green City"🔥! This vibrant city, brimming with local charm and natural beauty, hides countless treasure troves of relaxation. From urban oases to rural hideaways, Nanning showcases its unique philosophy of slow living through lush greenery and distinctive ethnic culture🎐. ✅ Qingwa Ancient Village Tucked away in Shibu Town, Xixiangtang District, Nanning, Qingwa Ancient Village🏡 is a forgotten paradise frozen in time. Dominated by Qing Dynasty architecture, it preserves over 30 well-maintained Ming and Qing-era houses. The mottled blue-brick walls, intricate carved eaves, and swaying bamboo create a picturesque scene. The village features elegant gray-tiled roofs and rustic charm, with courtyards adorned by bamboo and flowers adding vitality and poetry. Lush greenery and old bridges over meandering streams transport visitors to a Jiangnan water town🎐. Stroll through the village, where every step reveals a new vista, effortlessly immersing you in this painting-like scenery. 🔥 Immersive Experiences: ◾ Wander blue-stone alleys, tracing the passage of time in Qing-era homes ◾ Rest in bougainvillea-covered courtyards, listening to bamboo leaves rustle in the wind ◾ Cross ancient stone bridges, admiring gray-tiled roofs reflected in the water ✅ Xiake Peach Blossom Land Located in Xiake Peach Blossom Land in Chengxi Village, Shanglin County, this scenic area boasts idyllic landscapes with the winding Qingshui River and stunning karst formations unique to Lingnan🏞. Along the riverbank, cultural relics like the famous Tang Dynasty city walls and stele, as well as Zhicheng Temple, await discovery🎞. The great Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake once lingered here for 54 days, exploring 23 mountains, caves, pavilions, and towers, leaving behind 14,000 words of travel notes. Follow in his footsteps today! 🔥 Immersive Experiences: ◾ Boat along Qingshui River, marveling at peaks resembling "lotuses emerging from water" ◾ Explore 1,300-year-old Tang Dynasty ruins and inscribed steles ◾ Retrace Xiake’s ancient path, discovering Ming-Qing heritage in caves and pavilions ✅ Drumming Village Drumming Village in Gulian Village, Shanglin County, preserves 158 traditional Lingnan-style houses🏘, mostly built during the Qing Dynasty and Republic of China era. As one of Guangxi’s best-preserved and largest Zhuang ethnic rammed-earth villages✨, it’s embraced by forests and lakes, offering year-round beauty and timeless charm—a pastoral utopia. 🔥 Immersive Experiences: ◾ Discover "one main hall with four wings" courtyards, where ancestral Zhuang wisdom lingers ◾ Walk lakeside boardwalks at dawn, capturing misty morning vistas ◾ Learn rammed-earth wall repair techniques from Zhuang elders ◾ Stay in restored rammed-earth lodgings, listening to crickets converse with ancient walls ✅ Daming Mountain Tea Garden Nestled in Wangu Village, Shanglin County, Daming Mountain Tea Garden unfolds like emerald carpets—premium tea varieties like Jinxuan and Longjing thrive in misty hills🍵. Tea fields encircled by waterways and tile-roofed lodgings compose a living landscape painting. Here, you can become a tea picker ("bamboo basket on back, beauty rivaling blossoms"), a tea connoisseur ("savoring life’s ups and downs in a cup"), or try traditional tea-making, tie-dye crafts🙌, tea-infused cuisine, and zen-inspired tea garden stays. 🔥 Immersive Experiences: ◾ Harvest "one bud, one leaf" with bamboo baskets, reliving ancient poetry ◾ Brew tea with mountain spring water, contemplating life’s layers in changing hues ◾ Stay in cliffside tea-field villas, watching pickers move through morning mist This summer, slow down and embrace Nanning’s green-veiled tranquility!
