Located in central Guangxi, Laibin is traversed by the Hongshui River and serves as the birthplace of Pangu culture and the World Yao Capital – the seat of the Laibin Municipal People's Government of Guangxi. Popular attractions include Jinxiu Shengtang Mountain (the highest peak in central Guangxi, featuring sea of clouds and azaleas), Wuxuan Baiya Grand Canyon (the 'Little Jiuzhaigou' of Guangxi), Xincheng Moshi Tusi Government Office (the 'Forbidden City of the Zhuang countryside'), and Xiangzhou Hot Springs (the 'Number One Hot Spring in Central-South China'). The cuisine blends Zhuang and Yao flavours, with recommended dishes such as five-colour glutinous rice, Yao-style cured pork, bamboo tube rice, Xiangzhou sweet potato noodles, and Wuxuan red yeast pickles – natural ingredients, tangy and appetising.
