Guigang

This large city in eastern Guangxi known historically as "Distinguished Harbour," Guigang sits where the Yujiang and Qianjiang rivers meet to form the Xunjiang, with mountains visible from the urban centre. The city has long been associated with lotus cultivation — earning it the informal name Lotus City — and its riverside setting gives it a distinct character among Guangxi's prefectural cities. It was known as Gui County before 1988.
