Daxu Ancient Town is one of the "Four Dawei Towns" in Guangxi.

It was first built in 200 AD and has a history of more than 1,800 years. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the first of the "Four David Towns" in ancient Guangxi. The ancient Daxu Old Street stretches for 2 kilometers along the Li River. The wide streets are paved with bluestone slabs and are lined with well-preserved old houses. Most of the houses are two-story Ming and Qing dynasty buildings with blue bricks and blue tiles, and the vicissitudes of history can be seen everywhere. The design of each house is very reasonable and can be used for both commercial and residential purposes. It consists of a main entrance, a patio, a main room, a side room, and a backyard. Street shops are generally used as business shops, with stairs to the second floor. The ancient town still retains many ancient handicraft workshops such as bamboo weaving workshops, straw shoe workshops, traditional funeral shops, herbal medicine clinics, and old barber shops.

The stones on the bridge have been polished and there is still some grass in the middle. Simple and natural. To the west of the bridge is the Li River, which is an excellent location to appreciate the Li River and Luo Jing on the other side.

Especially in 1991, after winning the "Best Food Culture Award" at the first Chinese People's Cultural Expo, it became famous all over the world and enjoyed a good reputation at home and abroad. A grand view of Chinese food culture has been formed, including Southern Dog (Lingchuan Dog Meat) and Northern Duck (Peking Roast Duck). Since ancient times, it has been said that "the smell of dog meat makes the Buddha jump over the wall", "roll the dog meat three times and make the gods unstable", and it is also known as "the most delicious food in the world". Tourists will have a great time staying here. Guangxi's food habits blend from the north to the south, which is reflected in the fact that the dishes incorporate the characteristics of Guangdong, Hunan, Sichuan and other places, and gradually develop dry, fragrant, sour and spicy flavors based on the living habits of the locals. Tourists with heavy tastes can enjoy it.

Accommodation:

There are three inns in the town, Lijun Inn, Yiqun Inn, and Guzhen Inn.

There are two scenic spots in the ancient town that are particularly worth seeing. One is the former residence of Liang and Liang Liya, the founders of the Revolution of 1911, located on Jinma Street in the ancient town. It used to occupy half a street, but now it only has one living room, three bedrooms, and a yard. The Zhennanguan Uprising led by Sun Yat-sen held a secret meeting here to discuss related matters. The other one is Kuixing Tower, built in the first year of Qianlong (1736). The main building is 15.3 meters high. The whole building is square, with a small top and a big bottom. It is majestic and looks like a jade seal, so it is called "Emperor's Seal". The building is three stories high, with the lifelike wooden statue of Emperor Guan Shengjun enshrined on the first floor; the lifelike wooden statue of Emperor Wen enshrined on the second floor; and the wooden statue of Kuixing on the third floor, holding a pen in his right hand and a book in his left hand.

The Nanning Municipal Government listed this place as a cultural relic protection unit in 1996.

The two places can provide 20 to 30 beds, but not many people usually come to stay.
