The city is split in two by the Liu River , with all traffic arriving on the south side of the river. Trains arrive 2km away at the end of Fei'e Lu on the city's western outskirts, while buses terminate at depots either towards the station on Fei'e Lu, or off the southern end of Longcheng Lu. Either depot has departures to Yangshuo, Guilin, Guiping, Nanning, Sanjiang and Wuzhou. Rickshaws and taxis await at all arrival points.

At the junction of Longcheng Lu and Fei'e Lu you'll find a post office and clean accommodation at the Yufeng Dasha (¥100-150), whose good restaurant offers the usual Sunday dim sum selection. There are also plenty of cheap places to eat around the bus and train stations. Longcheng Lu continues north, crossing the river by the middle bridge and running up to spacious Liuzhou Square , abode of two mighty dragon sculptures - buses #4, #10 and #11 go this way, or it's about a twenty-minute walk. Northeast of here at the end of Youyi Lu you'll find a CITS office (tel 0772/2825669 or 2822637) and more rooms at the Liuzhou Fandian (¥75-100).
