Morning: Visit Longtan Park (free!). This is no ordinary park, a magnificent bonsai of karst landscapes and ethnic customs! The Wind and Rain Bridge and Mirror Mountain are photogenic, easily worthy of a National Geographic film.
Noon: Near the park or back in the city, find a long-established snail noodle shop like Gillian's or Caomei's to experience the difference between sweet and savory flavors!

Rent a Miao or Zhuang costume for a photo opportunity (approximately ¥100-200) and instantly transform into a young ethnic minority girl! The ancient town is also home to many exquisite restaurants and bars.

🏡 Accommodation and Transportation Tips
Accommodation: We highly recommend the Five-Star Pedestrian Street or the Liujiang River for convenient dining, entertainment, and travel.
City Transportation: Taxis are incredibly affordable! The starting fare is 6 yuan, and taxis between city attractions typically cost 10-20 yuan. We highly recommend trying the Baojun E100/E200 (small E) time-sharing rental model. They're super cute, and parking is easy to navigate through the streets and alleys. Beginners should be cautious. 🍜 Food Hits and Hits (Blogger-Tested)
