  来宾,一个让人眷恋的地方。这里是盘古文化发祥地之一,三万五千年前,麒麟山人在这片土地上繁衍生息。著名社会学家费孝通曾经说“世界瑶族研究中心在中国,中国瑶族研究中心在金秀”。来宾金秀的“世界瑶都”之称由此得名。金秀境内有盘瑶、茶山瑶、花蓝瑶、山子瑶和坳瑶5个支系,是全国瑶族支系最多的、瑶族传统文化保存最为完整的县份。至今,“古占瑶寨”“六段瑶寨”等多个村屯仍保留着瑶族古老的语言、服饰和生活习俗。来宾不仅民族风情浓郁,而且旅游资源丰富。圣堂山万亩变色杜鹃花海宛如人间仙境,莲花山云雾缭绕如若水墨画卷,圣堂湖峡谷湖光山色潋滟,武宣县百崖大峡谷自然风光迤逦,象州温泉、凉泉“两泉奇美”,“壮族故宫”,百年老矿,运江古镇,纳禄古村,以及桂中万亩良田万亩甘蔗,“半城碧波半城柳”的诗意桂中水城,无不让人流连忘返。
  来宾,一个让人向往的地方。这里地处桂中腹地,山水风光秀丽,生态环境优良,民族民俗文化多元而浓郁,在发展大健康产业和文化旅游方面有着明显的资源优势。来宾将旅游资源与养生长寿资源紧密结合,积极开发休闲度假、康复疗养、会展节庆、健康文化等健康旅游产品;推动建设了一批中医药瑶医药健康型、温泉康体型、山地养生型旅游项目;以生态山水、民族文化、温泉、乡村民宿等资源为依托,打造了“大瑶山生态民俗游”“红水河壮乡风情游”“自然风光休闲度假游”等旅游黄金线路。同时,来宾的金秀圣堂山杜鹃花文化旅游节、瑶族盘王节、忻城土司文化节、兴宾壮乡丰收百家宴等每一个旅游节庆活动,都是一场民族文化的盛宴,光彩夺目,让人心生向往。

  Home to the thousand-year old Red River, and the diversely splendid Yao ethnic culture, this is Laibin, in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a beautiful place endowed with talented people.
  Hello, everyone, I am Gong Zhengzheng, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Laibin Municipal Committee and Vice Mayor of Laibin City in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is my pleasure to show you around Laibin, the hometown of Li Ning, prince of gymnastics in the world, and experience the unique charms of this young city.
  Laibin is a memorable place. It is one of the cradles of Pangu culture. Around 35,000 years ago, people from Mount Qilin lived and prospered here. Fei Xiaotong, a famous sociologist, said, “Global studies on the Yao ethnic group centers on China, while in China they center on Jinxiu.” Hence Jinxiu, a county in Laibin, is known as the World Yao Capital. In Jinxiu, there are five Yao branches, namely Pan Yao, Chashan Yao, Hualan Yao, Shanzi Yao, and Ao Yao. It is the county in China where you can find the most Yao branches and where the traditional Yao culture is best preserved. Up to now, inhabitants in many villages such as Guzhan and Liuduan still retain the ancient Yao language, apparel, accessories and customs. Besides the rich ethnic culture, Laibin is rich in tourism resources. Shengtang Mountain covered in azaleas looks like a fairyland. Lianhua Hill shrouded in mist extends like an ink wash painting scroll. Shengtang Lake offers a splendid view of the valley. Baiya Great Canyon in Wuxuan County presents the best bit of nature. Xiangzhou has both hot and cold springs. In Lainbin, you can also find the Zhuang Chieftain Mansion, the century-old mine, the ancient Yunjiang Town, the ancient Nalu Village,the vast expanses of fertile land and sugarcane fields, and the water town with lines of willow trees. They never fail to impress the visitors.
  Laibin is a dream place. Located in the heartland of Guangxi, it has charming landscapes, a well-protected ecosystem, and rich, diverse cultures. Laibin enjoys superior resources in its health and cultural tourism industries. Taking advantage of them, the city has developed products such as leisure vacations, rehabilitation, exhibitions, festivals, and health culture. It has also promoted the development of a number of health-oriented tourism projects involving traditional Chinese medicine, Yao medicine, hot springs, and mountain-themed health topics. Utilizing the resources such as the natural ecosystem, ethnic culture, hot springs, rural homestays, Laibin has designed signature travel routes such as the Mount Dayao Eco and Folk Tour, the Zhuang Style Folk Tour in Red River, as well as the Natural Landscape Leisure Vacation Tour. Meanwhile, such festive events as Mount Shengtang Azalea Culture and Tourism Festival in Jinxiu,Yao’s Panwang Festival, Xincheng Chieftain Culture Festival,the Zhuang Style Hundred-Family Banquet are enviably inviting feasts of ethnic culture.
  Laibin is a respectable place. Local people, with their generosity and progressiveness, have built a cultural highland in this young city. It is one of the first batch of national public and cultural service system demonstration areas and national fitness demonstration cities, and enjoys the accolades such as the "National Double Support Model City" and the "National Forest City".
  Laibin people are united and ambitious, as a sign of the city's spirit. This young, dynamic city is set to create more modern features and more extraordinary achievements. All roads lead to Laibin, and all guests feel at home. Together with over 2.7 million local people, I sincerely invite you to Laibin, which is “the Natural Oxygen Bar of China”, to enjoy the refreshing air, and the intoxicating charm of this Yao Capital of the world.
