Bose: Culture, Rivers and History

Three themes offer a useful starting point for a stay in Bose: the Baise Uprising Memorial Park, the historic Liberation Street Cultural District and the riverfront at Baise Grand Wharf. The city lies in the upper reaches of the Youjiang River basin, part of the Xijiang river system in the Pearl River basin. At an elevation of about 120 meters, the landscape is hilly. This geographic setting complements the cultural themes with a landscape of rivers and hills. For planning purposes, it is helpful to first decide on your main interest: revolutionary and ethnic history, historic sites or the riverfront.

Exhibitions at Baise Uprising Memorial Park

The park is the core area of the national flagship red tourism program “Two Rivers Red Flags, Baise Thunder.” The Right River Ethnic Museum is located in the park and features exhibitions on revolutionary history, as well as ethnic history and folk customs. The Baise National Integrity Education Base at the Copper Drum Tower is also in the park. It includes indoor and outdoor areas that present topics related to integrity and anti-corruption education. The park therefore offers different ways to explore its themes: the museum focuses on historical and ethnographic exhibitions, while the base covers educational topics related to integrity and anti-corruption. This distinction can help you narrow down your interests for your stay.

The historic Liberation Street Cultural District

The historic Liberation Street Cultural District offers a different focus. Its core includes Lingzhou Guild Hall, Yuedong Guild Hall, the former residence of Liang Zongdai and Sanjiangkou. The combination of two guild halls, a former residence and Sanjiangkou sets the district apart from a single exhibition venue. In contrast to the Memorial Park’s exhibition themes, the focus here is on four named core elements of a historic district. If you are researching historic sites, you can use these names to guide your choice of focus for your trip.

Riverfront and water route

Baise Grand Wharf is located at the confluence of the Ejiang, Chengbihe and Youjiang rivers. A local culture and tourism description from 2022 presents it as a riverfront area for recreation and sightseeing, and also lists swimming, fishing and sampling local food as activities for visitors. If you are planning to take part in any of these activities, check in advance whether they will be available during your stay. In 2020, as part of the Memorial Park’s modernization, the water route “水上伟人（小平号）足迹游” was also opened. If you are planning a specific visit, check whether the route is currently operating.
