The newly opened Pinglu Canal is reshaping regional logistics and reducing transport costs by providing southwestern China with its first direct waterway to the sea and closer access to Southeast Asian markets.
Rich tourism resources and unique ethnic customs are also a major attraction of Guangxi.
Guangxi boasts many traditional dishes and exquisite snacks, including Guilin rice noodles, rice noodles with snails and Wuzhou tortoise-herb jelly.
