Guiping City
The birthplace of the Taiping Rebellion, where the Buddhist sanctuary of West Mountain and the landscapes of Dateng Gorge stand side by side, making it a cultural and scenic hub in southeastern Guangxi.
Guiping City is located in the southeastern part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, where the Qian and Yu rivers merge to form the Xun River. The Jintian Uprising Site is the birthplace of the Taiping Rebellion. Guiping West Mountain (Xishan) is famous for its lush forests, concentrated temples, and the Milk Spring (Ruquan), while Dateng Gorge is a magnificent canyon on the Qian River. Visitors can also explore Longtan National Forest Park, Baishi Mountain (a sacred Taoist site), and the Ming Dynasty Guiping East Tower. The climate is most comfortable during autumn, winter, and spring, while summers are hot and rainy. It is accessible via expressways from Nanning and Guigang, and chartered cars or self-driving are recommended for traveling between attractions within the county-level city.
