| Let’s start with some basic information about this province: Guangxi (name in Chinese: 广西 guǎng xī) is an autonomous region in China with a population of 4.6 million. The capital city is Nanning. It has been an autonomous region in China since 1958 and borders Vietnam in the South West. Provinces Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Hunan border it on other sides.  Ethnic Groups The ethnic groups in Guangxi account for nearly one-third of the population in the autonomous region. The biggest ethnic group is the Zhuang. This ethnic group is particularly well known for their good singers! Other ethnic groups that make up the one-third of Guangxi’s population include the Yao, Dong, Miao, and Shui. These are smaller ethnic groups but all play an important role in the region. Food Unlike many regions in China that have their own specific food tastes, Guangxi’s food isn’t easily distinguished by a certain flavour. Instead, it is a combination of many different types of flavours found around China. This is largely due to influence from the various ethnic groups found within the region. Whilst flavour may not be a distinguishing factor in Guangxi cuisine, there are certainly some dishes and ingredients that you can only find within Guangxi autonomous region. In the South of China, noodles are used much more commonly instead of rice. You can also see this in Guangxi cuisine, with rice noodles being a popular item on the menu. Visiting Guangxi is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in China. Guilin is the home of the famous ‘karst mountain’ structures and the Li River. Both combined form a landscape you’ll never forget! Guilin and Yangshuo are the two most popular places to visit in the Guangxi autonomous region, neither should be missed on a visit there! Guilin is the place to visit if you want to check out the Li River. It is located in the South East of Guangxi autonomous region. Its landscape is so famous that you can find it on the 20RMB notes – the karst mountain structures towering over the Li River surrounded by beautiful countryside. |
