Nanning China Green Park

Guangxi Zhuang Ethnic Park, China Travel

Nanning China Green Park was a few blocks from my hotel so I could go for a lovely afternoon walk while I was in the Green City Nanning.

Guangxi Zhuang Ethnic Park was further away, so I took a tour bus. The photos from both Green Park and Ethnic Park are posted on this page.

Stone Moon Bridge ~ Green Park ~ Nanning China stone bridge Green park nanning china

I love Green Park! This is one of my favourite China travel pictures! (see About Travel).

Even though you can see the smoky smog dimming the green trees in the background, Green Park a lovely respite from the busy Nanning streets outside the park gates.

The other name  for Green Park, according to my guide, is Remnimbi (People's) Park.

This bridge is the Moon Bridge. There was a nomimal admission fee - about 2 yuan or 40 cents.

Practicing Tai Chi in Green Park Nanning Chinatai chi in green park nanning china

One day, I took a walk in Green Park in late morning.

How nice to see these women practicing tai chi.

Often, if you are up early, around 6:30 a.m., you will see many people out in the parks and courtyards practicing tai chi to start their day.

I always enjoy watching people work :-) especially when they are building something familiar, like a garden and garden beds.

These everyday activities remind me that we are all more alike than we are different.

Guangxi Ethnical Park ~ Nanning China Attraction sign outside entrance to ethnic park in nanning china

At the Guangxi Minorities Cultural Relics Center entrance. In the gardens area, there are a lot of wonderful relics.

This sign is outside the Museum of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

The park celebrates the minorities living in this area -- and why Guangxi is a Special Autonomous Region (SAR, as is Hong Kong, among others).

The Guangxi museum houses the biggest bronze drum in the world. Many relics do date back to the Bronze Age, and the museum is well worth a visit.

Traditional Minorities Home Ethnic Park Nanning China ethnic house zhuang people style in nanning china

This is one of the many styles of traditional Ethnic Chinese homes moved or reconstructed at this park.

Isn't it gorgeous?

One house -- it may have been this one -- has a tea room on the uppermost floor.

The buildings are laid out along river banks and grassy areas, with bridges linking the river banks.

This huge circular concrete drum takes its imspriation from the orignal bronze drum.

CITS arranges domestic tours of the Nanning area, and tours to Behai, on the ocean south of here.

Behai is 200 km (124 miles) from Nanning, and accessed by a 6-lane expressway.

May to October are high season in Behai, and it's about a 3-hour drive.

While the Behai beaches are a great attraction, I'd been told that Hainan beaches are better.
