Located in the north-central part of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Liuzhou is an important node city in Xianggui Corridor, which is also known as "Pot City" (due to the fact that the Liujiang River flows around the city like a pot) and "Dragon City" (legend has it that there is a dragon coiled around it). As an industrial town in southwest China, the automobile industry is a pillar, and enterprises such as SAIC-GM-Wuling have taken root here. In recent years, the "Liuzhou snail flour" has become a national hit, leading to the development of specialty food industry and becoming the city's new business card. The Liujiang River passes through the city, and the landscape such as Maanshan Mountain and Yufeng Park is blended with the city, forming a unique style of "the city is in the middle of the mountains and water, and the mountains and water are in the city". With multi-ethnic settlement, deep Zhuang culture and rich folk activities, the city is a charming city that combines industrial vitality with nature and humanity.
