| Baise |
 |
Further afield, Baise is in the far west of Guangxi near the Yunnan
border. The scenery here is very different from around Guangxi.
Baise is well known in China as it was here that Deng Xiao Ping
led what is known as the Baise Uprising, one of the first communist
uprisings leading to the Long March and the revolution. There is
a museum in the town commemorating this event. Fascinating if you
are fascinated by Chinese revolutionary history!
Nearby is the You River Minorities Museum which displays artifacts
of the Zhuang people of this area. This is a much more interesting
place.
If you go at the right time of year, be sure to buy some mangoes.
This is the major mango producing area of China and they are cheap
and delicious! |
