The Lijing Hotel in Liuzhou is a 4 star hotel. From staying here previously, the bedding is relatively soft (not to the same level as Radisson Blu but still good). The hotel is more centrally located, nearby the walking street and city centre. Overall, cheaper, more cost-effective option but it's not a 5 star hotel either. I'd recommend this for people who want a comfortable stay, in good quality accommodation. Probably better value than the Radisson Blu Hotel.

Korean Government Building

 

On the 20th October 1938, the Korean Government arrived in Liuzhou City, where they would remain in-exile until being forced to move in April 1939 due to fear of attack from the Japanese army. Whilst in Liuzhou, they remained in their allocated government building and organized amo...

 

On the 20th October 1938, the Korean Government arrived in Liuzhou City, where they would remain in-exile until being forced to move in April 1939 due to fear of attack from the Japanese army. Whilst in Liuzhou, they remained in their allocated government building and organized amongst overseas Koreans to co-ordinate with the Chinese army.  Nowadays, the building has been listed as a heritage building and turned into a museum.

In addition, there are also various different exhibtions, depending upon when you visit. Overall, the Liuzhou museum offers a different type of insight into Ancient China (compared to places such as the Shanghai Museum etc.) and is a great way to spend a hot afternoon indoors!

The Radisson Blu Hotel is the only international 5 star hotel located in Liuzhou and probably the first of the many to come.  All features as expected of a 5 star hotel. It's located overlooking the river and a few kilometres from the central walking street.  Soft, comfortable beds -unlike the other majority of other hotels in Liuzhou!

Since I'm not associated with the hotel, more photos & information available are from their website.
