The taste is very good, many people line up to eat it. The ingredients are sufficient, the rice noodles are chewy and the soup base is rich.
A Symphony of Industry and Flavor: Liuzhou, a City of Hardcore Tenderness That Captivates When Liuzhou is mentioned, many people's first thought is that nationally famous dish—snail rice noodles. But when you actually set foot on this land, you'll discover that this city, renowned for its industry, possesses a deep-rooted poetic landscape, the most vibrant everyday life, and a hardcore tenderness. Like an art student in overalls, it composes a unique symphony for you on the banks of the Liujiang River. First Movement: Urban Landscape Painting—Climbing Ma'anshan Mountain to View the City's Flowing Waters Liuzhou's mornings begin with a mountain shaped like a saddle. Ma'anshan Mountain stands in the city center, offering the best vantage point to view the city's emblem, "Three Rivers Converging, Embracing the City Like a Pot." No strenuous climb is needed; a short elevator ride takes you to the summit. As the entire city unfolds before your eyes, you'll hold your breath—the emerald green Liujiang River, like a jade ribbon, embraces the city in a giant "U" shape, with bridges spanning its banks like rainbows, and modern buildings intertwined with karst peaks. If you wait for nightfall at dusk, watching the river reflect the myriad lights of homes, you'll understand what it means to have "the most beautiful landscape in an industrial city, and the strongest industry in a landscape city." Second Movement: History and Charm—A Stroll Through Yaobu, Encountering a Thousand Years of Ancient Charm Descending from Ma'anshan, stroll to the ancient town of Yaobu at its foot. Once an important ceramic trading port during the Tang and Song dynasties, the restored buildings now house teahouses, creative shops, and authentic local snacks. During the day, the ancient town is tranquil and serene, allowing you to explore the traces of history; but as night falls, lanterns light up, and the sounds of people fill the air, transforming it into Liuzhou's most vibrant picture of everyday life. Not far away, the East Gate Tower stands silently, the most complete Ming Dynasty city gate tower still standing in Guangxi, its blue bricks etched with the marks of time. Third Movement: A Culinary Feast – From a Bowl of Noodles to the World of Food In Liuzhou, a culinary pilgrimage is paramount. A bowl of fresh morning air: Don't rush to the trendy shops. Venture into Qingyun Market, amidst the bustling crowds and the cacophony of vendors' calls, and find a noodle stall where locals have been queuing. A bowl of piping hot noodles, with a sweet bone broth and tender, fresh meat, is the perfect start to a Liuzhou local's day. A hearty midday indulgence: Next up is the snail rice noodle feast. Don't be fixated on famous brands; the steaming, bustling shops on street corners often hold hidden surprises. When that infamously pungent rice noodle dish arrives, the bold flavors of the pickled bamboo shoots, the crispness of the tofu skin, and the smoothness of the rice noodles collide intensely in the red oil broth. One bite, and you'll break out in a sweat—utterly satisfying. We recommend experiencing the intensely flavorful stir-fried snail rice noodles at "Shenxiang Luosifen" or savoring the classic soup noodles at "Cao Mei Luosifen." The soul of the night market: As the sun sets, Shengli Barbecue City becomes the culinary universe's center. Here, it's not just about snail rice noodles; there's also shaved ice, braised duck feet, grilled raw beef, stir-fried snails… a symphony of aromas and bustling crowds. Order a pot of tender, flavorful braised duck feet, the duck feet soaked in the essence of the snail broth, falling off the bone with a single bite. Pair it with a refreshing glass of shaved ice—this is the most authentic soul of a Liuzhou night. Fourth Movement: The Poetry of Industry – Exploring the Museum, Touching the City's Heartbeat As a major industrial city in Southwest China, Liuzhou's other side is hidden in the Liuzhou Industrial Museum. Huge old-fashioned machine tools, retro "Liuzhou-made" cars, miniature factory models… they silently tell the story of this city's struggle. Here, the hardcore industry is imbued with historical warmth and artistic form; you will understand why the gentleness of the Liujiang River and the robustness of the factories can coexist so harmoniously. Fifth Movement: The Gentleness of the River Breeze – A Night Cruise on the Liujiang River, Viewing Waterfalls and Stars As night falls completely, Liuzhou's magnificent symphony truly begins. Board a cruise ship and cruise the Liujiang River at night. The banks are ablaze with light and shadow, and the mountain peaks are outlined with fantastical silhouettes. Reaching the Liujiang Bridge, a massive artificial waterfall cascades down the embankment, resembling a silver river falling from the heavens under the lights, a truly awe-inspiring sight. As the boat reaches a quiet spot, you look up to see a sky full of stars and the moon, look down to see your reflection in the river, and hear the gentle breeze. The hustle and bustle and fatigue of the day are soothed by the river. Itinerary and Tips • Two-Day Itinerary: • Day 1: Climb Ma'anshan Mountain in the morning, visit the Industrial Museum in the afternoon, stroll through Yaobu Ancient Town in the evening, and take a night cruise on the Liujiang River. • Day 2: Have breakfast at Qingyun Market in the morning and experience "tea bran hair washing," try a bowl of authentic snail rice noodles for lunch, visit Liuhou Park (built to commemorate Liu Zongyuan) in the afternoon, and end your culinary journey at Shengli Barbecue City in the evening. • Transportation: Liuzhou Bailian Airport and multiple high-speed rail stations offer convenient transportation. Public transportation within the city is extensive, and taxis are readily available. • Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in the Chengzhong District or Yufeng District, close to the Liujiang River, for easy access to sightseeing and dining. • Unique Experience: Don't forget to try Liuzhou's signature "tea bran hair wash," a warm and soothing way to massage your scalp with fermented tea bran and ginger juice—a perfect way to relax your mind and body. Liuzhou is just such a city. It uses its heavy industry as a framework to create a paradise of mountains and rivers, while simultaneously offering the simple pleasures of a bowl of rice noodles to soothe countless hearts. It doesn't try to please, yet it always leaves visitors with unforgettable culinary memories and a unique "mountain, river, and industry" landscape. Come, immerse yourself in Liuzhou, and you'll discover that its ruggedness and tenderness are equally captivating. #IndustrialStylePhotoSpots #LiuzhouSnailRiceNoodles #GuangxiMustVisit #LiuzhouScenery #PlacesYouGetAskedAboutOnWeChat

Spending a little money can double your travel memories. 4. Don't compromise on food: Cheap roadside snail rice noodles might be a disappointment.
