Guigang Rail Day
An honest neighbor day — Guigang is a separate prefecture city, about 40 minutes by rail. A hillside temple with Song-era origins in its southern suburbs; factual visits only, back by evening.

Jiangkou River Port
The old river-port town north of the city grew rich on Xun River shipping; shophouse streets and boat-facing gates, an unhurried half day by local bus.

Pingnan — Beidi Mountain
Another honest neighbor day — the stone peaks of Beidi Mountain stand in Pingnan County, about 1.5 hours north by road, with stairways and cloud views after rain.
