Wuzhou, Guangxi is an overlooked niche tourist destination. Where to go for a weekend getaway?

Getting around Wuzhou is very convenient. The city center and attractions are all in the same area. You can ride a shared electric scooter to different places, stop and go, and experience the local cuisine. It's really comfortable and perfect for a weekend city walk to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
It's said that you can't go to Guangxi without trying the rice noodles. Each region in Guangxi has its own unique rice noodles! Don't just know Liuzhou snail noodles and Guilin rice noodles! Hahaha, Wuzhou's river noodles really impressed me! This time in Wuzhou, I was guided by a local friend, so all the food I tried was verified by locals.
Highly recommend Fangji Noodle Shop: A bowl of plain noodles with your choice of toppings. The river noodles are really thin and translucent. The plain noodles are not your average bland noodles. The soup base is flavorful enough to be eaten on its own. For toppings, be sure to add bean curd skin. It's so good, it'll send you to heaven! (Open from 7pm to midnight)
Highly recommend Bingquan Soy Milk Shop: One of the top ten famous snacks in Guangxi. If you haven't eaten at Bingquan Soy Milk Shop, you haven't been to Wuzhou. My friend recommended their soy milk, but I don't recommend it too much. It's a bit too sweet and has a firewood flavor. If you're not used to this taste, you might not like it. My main recommendation is their rice noodle rolls! It's different from Cantonese and Chaoshan rice noodle rolls! It's so delicious, it's hard to describe. Even now, as I type this, I'm reminiscing about its taste. The chicken feet and chives dumplings are also really fragrant! (Open from 6:00am to 2:00pm, Monday to Sunday; Open from 6:00am to 4:00pm on public holidays)
Other recommended local dishes: Braised pork rice noodles, beef offal, wonton noodles, turtle jelly, Liubao tea.
Attractions: Li Jishen's Former Residence (requires a taxi, as it's a bit far), Dragon Mother Temple, Governor's Palace, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Wuzhou Museum, etc. You can get around by shared electric scooter. They are all close together. The main purpose is to learn about the city's cultural and modern history. Along the way, you'll encounter arcades that still retain the complete Lingnan architectural style. You can also take a walk along the river and enjoy the breeze.
