Located close to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Wuzhou is a birthplace of both Lingnan and Cantonese cultures and the host city is actively advancing three tourism economic belts, positioning itself as a hub to expand these initiatives throughout Guangxi.

With its long history, Wuzhou is a city deeply ingrained in tea culture, in which the Liubao tea, one of China's famous black teas, was produced here. It has propelled Wuzhou's cultural and tourism industry to a new level.

In addition, Liubao tea culture tourism has become a hotspot, attracting a large number of visitors who come to Cangwu County's Liubao Town, the origin of Liubao tea, to explore the ancient tea trade routes and trace the development history of Liubao tea.
