When the sun rises， countless people living in Nanning start their days with a bowl of porridge or Laoyou Rice （Old Friend） Noodles， refreshing themselves and savoring the taste of life. By evening， a large crowd of people head to the Nanhu Lake Park， relaxing and entertaining themselves after a busy day. With breezes from the lake， the sun is setting into the park where the elderly people are chatting on the bridge... Populated by different ethnic groups such as Han and Zhuang nationalities， Nanning has created an atmosphere of openness， tolerance and creativity.
A vast melting-pot of different ethnic groups

And an endless stream of fresh blood are always infusing into the cultural center of Guangxi. When you are walking casually around a street or dining in a restaurant in Nanning， you can hear many different languages： Zhuang dialect， Ping dialect， Nanning Bai dialect， Cantonese… As time goes on， the Zhang and Ping dialects are rarely used by the locals.
Attracted by its beautiful subtropical scenery and youthful energy， people from other places are gathering here， forming a mixing-pot of different ethnic groups. Culturally speaking， it is home to about 30 ethnic groups， such as Han， Zhuang， Miao， Yao， Dong， Lisu， Lahu， Hani， Jingpo and Mulao. The Han people live in harmony with Guangxi’s minorities here， creating profound cultural heritage and folkways.
Deeply influenced by the the locals’ spirits of openness and tolerance， not surprisingly， the traditional customs of each minority group have been maintained in Nanning where visitor can enjoy the firsthand music， dance， art and even fireworks of the local people.
Furthermore， many universities and colleges are located in Nanning， including Guangxi University， Guangxi Medical University， Guangxi Teachers Education University and Guangxi University for Nationalities， etc.， thus constantly increasing the vitality of this city and laying a solid foundation for a more open and inclusive culture. Indulging yourself in irresistible delicacies
The best way to approach Nanning is to experience all sorts of snacks and foods. The taste of this city lies wherever you rest your soul， from a large-scale restaurant to a small time-honored store. And a bite of local breakfast will allow you a longer stay on this beautiful and amazing land.
Taste， as a saying goes， is actually a memory of culture. Therefore， the local specialties would offer outsiders a glimpse of local culture. Generally speaking， the eating habits of Nanning are influenced by its diverse population and climate. Chongqing hot pot， Muslim-style food， Xinjiang-style noodles， vegetarian restaurant， Guangxi style food， Cantonese cuisine can be easily found in Nanning. Delicious local foods such as various porridges and rice noodles are favored by most people and the authentic Suanye （fermented fruits and vegetables） cannot be enjoyed anywhere else in the country.
In Nanning， traditional local specialties tend to lay stress on the features of fresh， light taste， tender， smooth and nutrition. And local delicacies represented by lemon duck， Laoyou （Old Friend） Noodles and sticky rice products of different flavors should not be missed.
When night falls， Nanning is lit up by colorful street lamps. What a colorful and bustling world it is！ Of course， Zhongshan Delicacy Street must be at the top of your travel list. It is a traditional delicacy street where you can enjoy all kinds of snacks both inside and outside Guangxi. Every night after 9：00 PM， the street is crowed and bright as daytime， forming a special sight for Nanning.
Sunset glow over the Nanhu Lake
If you want to slow the pace of life， Nanning would be a better choice. When walking on the riverside of Nanhu Lake， sometimes you will find that two men are playing Chinese Chess under a tree， with a crowd of onlookers standing beside quietly. In the near square， some elderly people are playing Tai Chi Chuan which combines techniques of self-defense and health-keeping. What a leisure life it is！
Nanhu Lake， a pearl seated in the southeast of Nanning， is an ideal place to entertain yourself. Either paddling in the lake or fishing along the lake can offer you an escape from the pressure of city life indeed. Lushly growing subtropical trees， blooming flowers， bamboo rustled in the wind and crystal clear lake will make you gasp in admiration in this fairyland.
Adhering to the principle of putting people first， Nanning is making efforts to push ahead with the construction of the “Green City of China” and create a favorable macro environment for its sustainable development. Through unremitting efforts made by a few generations， Nanning will be built into a more vigorous， open， charming and harmonious city. Walking along the bridge cross the Nanhu Lake， you can fully appreciate the stunning sunsets. During weekend mornings， you could meet some good friends and head to the Lake for a picnic； or a visit to the Zhongshan Delicacy Street would enliven your palate. Either way， the spirits of Nanning can be captured by you.
