Visiting Rongxian 容县

in #china • 7 years ago (edited)

Róngxiàn 容县 is apparently a county in Yulin, although I couldn't begin to understand the different local political divisions in China. Yulin is usually considered a city, as is Rongxian.
According to Wikipedia, Rongxian's Duqiao Mountain (都峤山), which I've posted about befiore, is a famous Taoist sanctuary. Other tourist sites include the Zhenwu Pavilion (真武阁), and the home of Yang Guifei, one of China's "Four Gorgeous Dames". In addition to one of the “Four Great Beauties” of ancient china (四大美女) - not to be confused with the Three Gorges Dam - it is known for its pomelos.

Rongxian is within the Yulin prefecture of Guangxi, and an easy day trip for us. We paid a visit to the "city" on one of our trips.

Chinese fruit is often grown in paper bags to shield them from sunlight.
