Liuzhou Luosifen Town & Industrial Park
柳州螺蛳粉小镇
A luosifen industrial town in Taiyang Village, Liunan District. Visitors can see snail farming and tour production lines for packaged luosifen, then return to the city for a late-night bowl of freshly cooked noodles.
Liuzhou luosifen was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2021, and packaged luosifen now generates annual output worth tens of billions of yuan. The Luosifen Town in Taiyang Village, Liunan District, is a demonstration zone that combines snail farming, raw material cultivation (sour bamboo shoots, long beans and wood ear mushrooms), production and tourism. Several factories nearby have visitor walkways or experience centers, where you can watch the assembly lines through windows or make your own bowl. Whether visits are open depends on each company's arrangements, and some require advance booking. The real “luosifen journey,” however, is in the city. Locals usually eat freshly cooked noodles at old street-side shops. The broth is simmered from snails and pork bones and served with sour bamboo shoots, tofu skin, peanuts and sour long beans. Optional add-ons include fried egg, duck feet and pig trotters. Tip: visit the town during the day, then head to Wuxing Street, Yaobu and Gubu Street for late-night noodles. Transport: a taxi from the city center takes about 30–40 minutes. Note: sour bamboo shoots have a strong flavor, so first-timers may prefer the “mild spice, less bamboo shoot” option.
