Jiuzhou Ancient Town (Jingxi)
旧州
A Zhuang embroidered-ball town, with bluestone old streets, the Wenchang Pavilion and fields framed by karst peaks; visit artisans making embroidered balls by hand and see Zhuang daily life.
Jiuzhou lies about 10 km south of Jingxi City and was once the seat of Guishun Prefecture. The old street still has bluestone paving and Qing dynasty houses, and several workshops here sew Zhuang embroidered balls by hand, earning it the title 'Hometown of Chinese Embroidered Balls.' Outside town, the Wenchang Pavilion stands in the middle of a pond, surrounded by stone hills and open fields, and is one of Jingxi's most photogenic rural scenes. Nearby are the Zhang Tianzong Tomb and the Zhuang Ecomuseum. Admission is free. It is about a 15-minute drive from Equan Spring, and you can stay in guesthouses in the old town.
