The city's green lung on the south bank of the Yong River, a national 5A-level scenic area of layered green peaks covering more than four square kilometers—Nanning's calling card. Core highlights: the Ming-style Longxiang Pagoda (nine stories; from the top you can gaze over the Yong River and the whole city), Guanyin Chan Temple, the Orchid Garden, the Cycad Garden and the Rainforest Grand View, with shaded mountain paths offering shelter from the sun the whole way. Records say monks built huts here as early as the Song dynasty; Longxiang Pagoda was first built during the Wanli era of the Ming dynasty (traditionally initiated by local notable Xiao Yunju), later fell into ruin, and was rebuilt on its original site in the 1980s. The verdant hill scenery was once listed among the Eight Scenes of Yongzhou as 'Pines Soughing on Green Hill,' and the mountain is also a key venue of the annual Nanning International Folk Song Arts Festival.
Getting there: Metro Line 3, Qingxiushan Station
