| Flying Chinese Hibiscus [edit this] | | At the Nanning entrance to Guihai Expressway is a sculpture made up of a group of Chinese hibiscus petal-like objects in the token of Nanning. When driving toward downtown and passing the tollgate on the expressway, you will see a Chinese hibiscus, the city flower, in full bloom, smiling to welcome you.

| Eighteen Monks Cave [edit this] | | The Eighteen Monks Cave is in the north of the Dragon and Phoenix Hill, one mile away from the Mu village, Suxu Town in Yongning County which is 300 meters away from the Yong Fu highway. The cave is one kilometer deep and the widest part can allow several people to walk side by side, but only one person can fit in the narrowest part. There are three big halls in the cave, which have the capacity to contain thousands of people. Tourists can see shining stalactites of various shapes. Some of them look like a powerful waterfall pouring down from sky, and some of them look like thousands of swords, hanging in the air. Entering the third hall, you will see 18 stalagmites in the shape of monks. That is why the cave is called Eighteen Monks Cave. | Edit by: Tom | |
| Fire-Watch Tower [edit this] | | Located in Xinhua Jie, the Fire-Watch Tower is a representative structure in Nanning during the period of the 1950s and 1980s. Since it was built in 1953, it played a key role in preventing and putting out fires in Nanning. However, with more and more high buildings in the developing city, the Fire-Watch Tower has lost its main function. Moreover, its brick wall has been weathered; the wood floors, windows and stairs have been decayed. In this situation all aspects of society have appealed to protecting such a historical structure. After a careful study, the cultural departments in Nanning have set about the investigation to the tower and started preserving related objects. Now the Fire-Watch Tower is renovated and protected as a key city-level protection of cultural relics. | Edit by: Tom | |
