China Tour – A Cultural Journey Through Nanning and Ancient Towns

Discover the charm of Guangxi Province on a journey that blends China’s ancient elegance with modern vibrance. From the tranquil canals of Thái Bình Cổ Trấn — often called the “Little Phoenix Ancient Town” — to the green hills of Thanh Tú Sơn and the dazzling lights of Nam Ninh Chi Dạ, this 3 Days 2 Nights No Shopping Tour reveals a side of China rich in beauty, culture, and connection.

Sailing past ancient bridges, tasting local delicacies, and strolling through streets lined with red lanterns, travelers experience both the calm of the countryside and the pulse of the city. It’s a journey crafted for those who seek authenticity — with no shopping stops and every moment dedicated to discovery.

Thái Bình Cổ Trấn – The Little Phoenix of Guangxi

The adventure begins as you cross the Móng Cái – Đông Hưng border, entering the gateway to southern China. After a short drive, you’ll arrive at Thái Bình Cổ Trấn, a picturesque ancient town surrounded by rivers and misty hills.

Nicknamed “Tiểu Phượng Hoàng Cổ Trấn”, this town feels like a living painting — wooden houses, curved bridges, and shimmering lanterns reflecting on the water. As night falls, the old streets glow in golden light, and the air fills with the gentle sound of music and laughter.

Travel tip: For the full experience, rent a traditional Hanfu costume for an unforgettable photo session. Local studios offer complete outfits and styling — transforming you into a character from a timeless Chinese drama.

Thanh Tú Sơn – The Green Heart of Nanning

The next morning, journey to Thanh Tú Sơn Park, the natural symbol of Nam Ninh, often called “The Green City of China.” Here, lush bamboo forests, tranquil ponds, and winding mountain trails create a peaceful escape from the bustle below.

The air is fresh, the views are serene, and every path seems to lead into a fairytale landscape. Locals say Thanh Tú Sơn changes character with every season — cherry blossoms in spring, emerald forests in summer, golden leaves in autumn, and misty peaks in winter.

Travel tip: Electric carts are available inside the park for a small fee (around 15 RMB/person) — ideal for exploring comfortably while enjoying the scenery.

Tam Ngõ Nhị Street & Nam Ninh Chi Dạ – The City of Light

After a tranquil morning, immerse yourself in the cultural heart of Nam Ninh. Walk through Phố Tam Ngõ Nhị, a lively pedestrian street known as the “Miniature Shanghai of Nanning.” Blending ancient architecture with cosmopolitan charm, it’s filled with cafés, boutiques, and local eateries — perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

As dusk descends, the city comes alive. Nam Ninh Chi Dạ (Nanning Everbright City) transforms into a sea of lights — music, color, and life filling the night. Street performers dance, the air smells of roasted meat and sweet pastries, and every corner offers a taste of Guangxi’s vibrant energy.

For dinner, indulge in the famous Chinese Milk Hotpot, a regional delicacy known for its smooth, aromatic flavor — a comforting way to end your day.

Travel tip: If time allows, don’t miss the Fire Dance Show at Dân Sinh Square (approx. 30 RMB/person) — a spectacular display of traditional artistry.

Tương Tư Hồ Trấn – Romance in Motion

On your final morning, visit Tương Tư Hồ Trấn, a scenic film set and photo village inspired by ancient China. With stone bridges, willow-lined lakes, and traditional pavilions, it has become one of Nam Ninh’s most popular check-in spots for cultural photography.

Here, you can stroll in peace, dressed in flowing silk or modern casuals, surrounded by beauty that feels both cinematic and serene.

Travel tip: Morning visits offer the best light for photos and fewer crowds — perfect for capturing the poetic spirit of this lakeside town.
