Yangmei Ancient Town
Thirty-six km southwest, a river town of about a thousand years — stone lanes, Ming-Qing houses and the stages of its merchant days.

Yiling Cave, north of the city
Half an hour north, karst galleries with a constant cool draught and lit chambers; an easy half-day with a Wuming rice-noodle lunch on the way back.

Daming Mountain
A day in the national nature reserve north of Wuming — the range tops out at about 1,760 m, with cloud forest, streams and a summit road for non-hikers.

Long'an macaques
About 80 km west in Long'an County, the karst hills of Longhushan shelter thousands of macaques along a river valley; boats and walkways keep the day gentle.

Kunlun Pass & People's Park
Fifty km northeast, the pass taken in the December 1939 battle, now a memorial site visited with respect; back in town, the early-20th-century cannon platform in People's Park.

Detian Falls — a Chongzuo day
An honestly labelled neighbouring-prefecture day — Daxin County, Chongzuo, about 200 km out, three and a half hours by road, for a three-tiered drop of some 70 m on the Vietnam border.
- nanning detian falls
Beihai by rail & Departure
A neighbouring-city day, labelled as such — 1.5 hours each way by rail for the 1880s arcaded old street and the 24-km Silver Beach, back in time for an evening train or flight.
