FUN FACTS
Geography Liuzhou is located on the banks of the winding Liu River, approximately 255 km (158 mi) from Nanning, the regional capital.
Swimming in the river is a tradition of the city.
The river is normally green, but sometimes in summer, floods from the mountain areas upstream bring sediment which colors the water yellow.
Their remains were discovered in the Tongtianyang Cave (通天岩) in Liujiang County, Guangxi.
The city was founded in 111 B.C.
