📸 【Spot 1: Liuzhou’s “Little Kamakura” — Under Guangya Bridge】

Location: Riverside at the intersection of Guangya Bridge and Yaru Road

🌟 Experience: This is Liuzhou’s recognized “Japanese-style” photo spot. The straight riverside road, railings, distant bridge piers and lighthouse, with the open river and blue sky as the backdrop, make every shot feel like a scene from "Our Little Sister" (Umimachi Diary).

🕒 Best time: Sunny afternoons from 4 to 5 PM, when the light is soft and perfect for fresh or Japanese-style photos.

🏭 【Spot 2: Industrial Style “798” — Liuzhou Industrial Museum】

Location: East of Wenchang Bridgehead, Yufeng District

🌟 Experience: Don’t just explore indoors! The outdoor exhibition area is the real treasure. Huge old locomotives, vintage green train cars, rusty machine tools contrast sharply with the modern skyscrapers behind, full of stories and power, making it an excellent backdrop for industrial-style photos.

💡 Tip: Free admission. It’s recommended to wear simple or cool outfits to match the hardcore environment.

🏞️ 【Spot 3: The City’s “Moganshan” — Huanjiang Riverside Boulevard】

Location: Ride or drive along Huanjiang Riverside Boulevard

🌟 Experience: Rent an electric scooter or bicycle and ride along the scenic boulevard by the Liu River. Along the way, you’ll pass peaceful villages, dense bamboo forests, waterside trails, and exquisite viewing platforms, all lush green, as if instantly escaping the city into a natural oxygen bar.

💡 Tip: The colorful stairs and unique farmhouse restaurants in Leicun Village are highlights along the way, perfect for stopping to rest and taste authentic river delicacies.

🌃 【Spot 4: Cyberpunk Nightscape — Yaobu Ancient Town Viewing Industrial Skyline】

Location: Opposite bank of Yaobu Ancient Town or Panlongshan Park

🌟 Experience: At night, Yaobu Ancient Town lights up with lanterns, exuding an antique charm. But even more stunning is the view from the opposite bank: the eaves of the ancient town, the skyscrapers of Liuzhou city, and factory cranes all reflect together in the Liu River, blending traditional, modern, and industrial elements into a unique cyberpunk cityscape.
