Karst Hills in Town
Ma'anshan, about 270 m, frames the kettle-loop view of the city; Yufeng hill carries the Liu Sanjie singing legend, with song gatherings at its foot on festival days.

Luosifen & Industry
The rice-noodle lines — craft on the national intangible list since 2021, chain sales about 67 billion yuan in 2023 — the industry museum's factory halls, and Qingyun market grazing at night.

Yaobu & Panlong Twin Pagodas
A slow riverside day — the rebuilt lanes of Yaobu old town, then the climb between the twin pagodas on Panlong hill for the afternoon light on the river.

Luzhai — Xiangqiao Natural Bridge
About 70 km east in Luzhai county, a national karst geopark whose namesake natural stone bridge arches high over the Xiangqiao river — a green, unhurried day with village lunch.

Bailian Cave & Town Slow Day
North of the river, the Bailian cave museum's prehistoric layers excavated since the 1950s, then a soft afternoon of tea houses and riverbank walks.

To Sanjiang — Chengyang
About 170 km and 2.5 hours north — the Dong villages around the 1912-1924 wind-rain bridge, near 78 m long; overnight in a stilted village guesthouse.

Drum Tower & Danzhou Island

Hechi Side Day — Yizhou & Departure
An honest neighbor-city day — Yizhou belongs to Hechi, about two hours west by road, and keeps the scenic hometown associated with the singing legend Liu Sanjie; return to Liuzhou for the evening train, or continue west from Yizhou.
