The world is so big, only Guangxi is on holiday. To experience the Guangxi March Third, I specifically went to Liuzhou for a few days and summarized this practical guide for four days and three nights, with an average cost of less than 2000 yuan. Firstly, it is recommended to take the high-speed train to Liuzhou and then rent a car for a self-driving tour.
