Bama Longevity Culture Square
巴马寿文化广场
The longevity-themed square at the centre of the county town. Giant longevity-character carvings and bronze-drum-shaped architecture make it a Bama landmark, and locals sing and dance here in the evening.
Longevity Culture Square sits in the centre of Bama county town and is its largest public square. At its centre stand a giant 'longevity' character, a Yao bronze drum and sculptures of longevity elders. Government buildings and commercial streets surround it. In the evening, Yao and Zhuang residents often perform bamboo pole dances and square dancing, and festivals bring longevity culture events. Admission is free, so take a stroll here on your first evening in town. Nearby night markets offer Bama specialties such as Bama fragrant pig, hemp soup and oil fish. The square is about 25–30 km from scenic spots such as Bapan Longevity Village, and the county bus station and chartered cars to the sights usually depart from here.
