Liuzhou is an "embarrassing" scenic spot that cost billions to build, but the number of tourists is always unsatisfactory.

Introduction: Tourism is not only a way of life, but also an attitude towards life. As a northern woman with a free and easy nature, my biggest wish in life is to travel around the world. However, my wallet is too small, so my temporary wish is to visit various well-known cities in my country.

I hope to go to different cities to experience different lives, feel different customs, and understand the lifestyles of different places. The travel destination I chose this time is Liuzhou City in Guangxi Province, and the reason why I chose to visit here is because I like eating snail noodles very much. As the origin of snail noodles, Liuzhou is naturally my favorite.

Before going to Liuzhou, my knowledge of the place was limited to the local snail noodles. Since there is no direct bus from Shanxi to this place, I experienced several reverse trains. Although reversing is a very troublesome thing, the moment I successfully boarded the train to Liuzhou, I felt that everything was worth it, because the scenery along the way was so beautiful, and with the blessing of the scenery along the way, It made me very curious about this city.

Because I don’t know what kind of city I will face next, but at the same time, I am excited inside. Because I like the feeling of opening a blind box, after a long journey, I finally arrived in Liuzhou. After getting off the train, I chose to go to the hotel I had booked to rest.

Since I made a reservation in advance, the room price was not expensive and the service was very attentive. This situation made me look forward to more of this city. Within a few days of living in Liuzhou, I went to Sanjiang Drum Tower, Danzhou Ancient City, Shimen Fairy Lake, Longnvgou Scenic Area and Xianren Mountain Scenic Area.

In addition, I also found an extremely niche attraction, its name is Yaobu ??Ancient Town. Its specific location is on Dongdi South Road, Hedong New District, Liuzhou City. When I came here, I saw this extremely large ancient town, but strangely, there were not many tourists here. Even when I walked around, I could only see a few vendors and a few tourists.

I was very curious about this situation, so I asked the hotel waiter. She explained this ancient town to me in detail. She said: This ancient town has always been known as a very "awkward" ancient town.

The reason why I say this is because this ancient town cost billions to build. Originally, the person in charge wanted to make a lot of money from this scenic spot. However, I did not expect that the ancient town after its completion did not achieve the expected goals, especially the number of tourists, which was far from the previous expectations.

The reason for this situation is due to insufficient publicity. Although huge sums of money were spent on its construction, the ancient town was poorly publicized after its completion. As a result, many locals have never heard of this ancient town, let alone those outsiders who have come from afar. In addition, there is another reason that is also quite important.

That is, the layout of the ancient town is featureless and the route planning of the scenic spot is unreasonable. Walking around the ancient town, you won't see any projects that reflect local characteristics. In addition, there are no iconic attractions or reasonable routes in the scenic area, which leads tourists to only wander around aimlessly after entering the ancient town, and end up with only a few choices.

But I think that in addition to these external problems, there is an essential problem that is the most important. That is, the scenic spot actually demolished many buildings with a long history in order to build some new modern buildings. This approach is quite puzzling to people, and they also find it unreasonable.

The most important thing is that during my visit to the local area, I not only saw many scenic spots that amazed me, but also tasted the most authentic snail noodles and five-color rice. So I am quite satisfied with my trip. If your meaning of travel is also to eat, drink, and wander around, I strongly recommend you come here.
