What misunderstandings do mainlanders have about Guangxi?

Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is one of the five autonomous regions in China, located at the southernmost tip of China, with a subtropical monsoon climate. The karst landform in this area has formed a variety of natural landscapes and is a tourist attraction, but many foreigners had many misunderstandings about Guangxi before coming to Guangxi.

Many people think that the capital of Guangxi (now called the capital of the autonomous region, but I prefer to use the word "provincial capital") is Guilin. In fact, Guilin was the capital of Guangxi only before liberation. After liberation, the capital of Guangxi has always been Nanning. Guilin is the most famous city in Guangxi, but it is not the largest city. The largest city in Guangxi should be Nanning, the second largest city is Liuzhou and Guilin is the third largest city in Guangxi.

2. The full name of Guangxi is "Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region", so many foreigners think that most people in Guangxi wear clothes with national characteristics. In fact, except in some extremely remote and isolated areas, some people wear their own national clothes. Most people in Guangxi are no different from people in other places in dress, and even because they are close to Guangdong and Hong Kong, their clothes are a little more fashionable than some places! Perhaps many people have seen people wearing national costumes in some TV programs about Guangxi, but this situation is just some disgusting show behavior of some people and some organizations.

Many people think that Guangxi is a very backward place, as backward as Africa. In fact, Guangxi's economy is not developed, but it is far from being as backward as some people think. I have been to most provinces in China. I think: compared with the strong coastal provinces, there is indeed a gap, but compared with many inland provinces, it feels similar.

4. Guangxi people are all Zhuang people. Although Guangxi is a Zhuang autonomous region, not all of them are Zhuang. There are 1 1 ethnic minorities including Zhuang, namely Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Dong, Mulao, Maonan, Hui, Beijinger, Yi, Shui and Gelao, which are the provinces with the largest number of ethnic minorities in China. Bajiang grew up in Guangxi.

I don't think winter in Guangxi is cold. Because Guangxi is in the subtropical zone, the lowest temperature in winter will not exceed 0. If you think winter in Guangxi is very comfortable, you are all wet! Although the temperature is not low, the east wind blows like a dragon crescent moon blade, with continuous rain and no physical equipment for heating, the winter in Guangxi is very sad. When I was a child in Guilin for the New Year, everyone would make a fire outside to keep warm. By the way, Baba would be baked on the fire, with a big bubble in the middle, poked with chopsticks, sprinkled with sugar and gave birth to a baby.
