Nanning Museum


Within a colossal, contemporary building is this slick museum that takes you through the city's history dating from AD 318. There are no English captions, but you'll get a sense of Nanning's cultural heritage through the collection of ancient relics, ceramics, ceremonial pieces and modern-day displays. To get here, take metro Line 3.
