Liucheng Educated Youth Village

　　   Located on the banks of the Rongjiang River, the Educated Youth Village sits in the picturesque Luoya Community, Dapu Town, Liucheng County, nestled against mountains and near water. It is 5 kilometers from the county seat and 55 kilometers from Liuzhou City, connected via National Highway 209 and the Yiliu Expressway, making transportation very convenient. The Educated Youth Village is a tourist attraction developed in conjunction with the construction of a new socialist countryside. It is an educated youth cultural creative park themed around educated youth culture, integrating landscapes and ancient town scenery. In 2010, it was successfully designated as a Guangxi Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site, and in 2011, it became a National AAA-level Tourist Attraction. Currently, the scenic area is further improving its infrastructure with the goal of becoming a National AAAA-level Tourist Attraction. The Educated Youth Village is planned to have five tourism functional zones, mainly divided into: the Educated Youth Culture Experience Zone, the Mountain Climbing and Sightseeing Zone, the Rongjiang Sightseeing Zone, the Guiling Holiday Villa Zone, and the Riverside Eco-Agricultural Holiday Zone. The development is scheduled in three phases, with the first phase’s “Five Ones” project having largely completed the “One Street One Museum” along with the building facade renovation. The Educated Youth Village is not only a great destination for sightseeing, leisure, and vacation but also serves as a base for understanding educated youth culture, reflecting on history, and conducting party spirit and patriotic education.

　　   Educated Youth Square

　　   The Educated Youth Square held an important place in the lives of the educated youth. Whenever the work assembly broadcast sounded, the educated youth would gather here with the local farmers before heading to the fields together. In the evening or during other free time, the educated youth would also come in groups to chat, exchange ideas, and socialize. On festive occasions, popular performances would be held in the square.

　　   Old Post Office

　　   We know that most educated youth came from cities, far away from their families and friends. In an era when communication methods were underdeveloped, letters were their main way of staying in touch with loved ones, making the post office a place of emotional connection for them. From 1951 to 1977, this old post office faithfully fulfilled this noble and sacred mission.

　　   Educated Youth Wharf

　　   Originally called the Luoya Wharf, the Educated Youth Wharf was built in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936) and served both commercial and civilian purposes. At that time, Luoya was already a well-known commercial hub in Liucheng. Local agricultural and sideline products from Liucheng and nearby areas had to be transported here before being shipped elsewhere by boat, while goods arriving from other regions were first distributed here before being sent to markets in the county and surrounding towns. The Luoya Wharf was also used by locals for washing clothes and drawing water. When the educated youth arrived in Luoya, they also used it for these daily tasks, hence it came to be known as the Educated Youth Wharf.

　　   Do you see that large banyan tree over there? Back in the day, it was a lively spot filled with singing and cheer. The educated youth often gathered here during their free time to sing, dance, and sometimes even engage in cross-river antiphonal singing with educated youth or villagers from Zhongzhai Village on the opposite bank.
