Nanning

Introduction

neighborhood to the southwest and a bit of the roof

Nanning (南宁) is the capital city of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2009. It is often called China's "green city" because of the lush urban landscaping that thrives in the tropical climate. Located just below the tropic of cancer, Nanning has long tropical summers and a rainy season from May to November. Nanning is the annual host of the China ASEAN Expo, where the 10 ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) nations and China hold economic cooperation meetings and huge product displays. Nanning also hosts the annual Folk Songs Festival, televised all over China.

Guangxi borders Vietnam and the Vietnamese consulate in Nanning is where many foreign travelers apply for and receive their tourist visas to visit Vietnam. By Chinese standards Nanning is only a small city (6.5 million people in the city's geographical area), and construction on its subway system just began in 2009. There are not as many foreign tourists so it offers a more authentic experience of a southern Chinese city.

Post

China Post (中国邮政) is the official postal service of the People's Republic of China, operated by the State Postal Bureau of the People's Republic of China (website in Chinese only), and has more details about price to send letters, postcards and parcels, both domestically as well as internationally. The Chinese postal service is very good. Remember that in more remote places usually only one post office in a city can handle sending international boxes or letters. Also many times it might be worth having the name of the country you are trying to send to in Chinese characters. Post offices have a striking green logo and can easily be found everywhere in the cities. They are mostly open every day (including weekends!) from 8:00am to 6:00pm, though small offices might have shorter opening times, while the bigger ones in central and touristic areas are sometimes open during evenings as well.
