Ma'anshan Park
马鞍山公园
The best vantage point for a panorama of Liuzhou, the “Pot City.” The U-shaped bend of the Liujiang, the river-crossing bridges and the limestone peaks are all in view.
Ma'anshan lies in Yufeng District, next to Yufeng Hill. It is named for its saddle-like shape and is one of the tallest limestone hills within Liuzhou's urban area. The summit observation platform offers a 360-degree view of the “pot”-shaped river bend formed by the Liujiang as it wraps around the city, more than a dozen bridges across the river, and the karst peaks around it. It is the top spot for panoramic city photos, and sunset and the lights coming on in the evening are especially fine. The climb follows stone steps and takes about 30–40 minutes to reach the top. The slope is steep, so wear non-slip shoes. A sightseeing cableway also operates inside the park; hours vary, so check on site. Admission is free. Transport: take a city bus to the “Yufeng Park” or “Ma'anshan” stop. It can be combined with a visit to Yufeng Park.
