How to visit
Arrive at Daxu Ancient Town before the main pedestrian flow, confirm any boat or bridge ticket, then walk public lanes before choosing paid add-ons.
Finish Daxu Ancient Town on the side closest to the booked boat, next meal or return transport; do not cross the whole water town at the last minute.
- 1Stop 1Find the water edge of Daxu Ancient Town
Start with the water, bridges and street pattern around Daxu Ancient Town; it prevents the visit becoming only a food-street walk.
- 2Stop 2Main lane once through
Walk the busiest lane once, mark the genuinely interesting shops or halls, and return only to the two or three you selected.
- 3Stop 3Bridge and side-lane angle
Use one bridge for the classic water view, then turn into a side lane to see how residents use the town.
- 4Stop 4Boat only if it adds a view
Compare the boat route with the walkable waterfront and current queue; use it when it reveals a different scale.
- 5Stop 5Eat, buy and return
Use Half day as a slow walk, then follow the water or signed lane back and check the transport note: Use the Chinese place name and address in Amap or a licensed taxi; rural transfers need extra time.

Weekday morning, soon after opening. Start with Daxu Ancient Town here, then decide whether the remaining stops still fit the day.
Foreigner notes
Search 大圩古镇 with its address rather than relying on a city-level result; the entrance is the useful destination.
Reservation and foreign-passport handling for Daxu Ancient Town remain unconfirmed; use the cited official notice before departure.
Use the recorded crowd pattern to choose a start time, then adjust at Daxu Ancient Town if the on-site flow differs.

Save 大圩古镇 and 临江路250号漓江景区 before leaving; the last walk is easier when the gate is already marked.
