Nanhu Park
南湖公园
A large lakeside park southeast of the city center, where lakeside paths, a famous tree garden and the city skyline come together. It is a good place to experience everyday life in the 'Green City'.
Nanhu Park lies on the south side of Minzu Avenue in Qingxiu District. Its centerpiece is a long, narrow urban lake, and the shores are lined with palms, banyans and other subtropical plants. The park includes the Nanhu Famous Tree Expo Garden, Nanhu Square, a waterside boardwalk and small islands. It is one of Nanning's most representative city parks.
In the evening, walking the full loop around the lake takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. You can see the high-rise reflections and night lights across the water. Locals often dance, sing Zhuang mountain songs and fish here, which makes it a good place to feel Nanning's slower pace of life. Admission is free. Getting there: take the metro to Nanhu station or several bus lines. It is close to Golden Camellia Park and the Guangxi Museum, so the three can be combined in one visit. In summer, the daytime sun is intense, so visit early in the morning or in the late afternoon.
