Baise City

Baise, in the western reaches of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is best known as the site of the 1929 Baise Uprising led by Deng Xiaoping, which gives the city a prominent place in Chinese revolutionary history and makes it a major "red tourism" destination in southern China. The city sits along the Youjiang River amid mountainous terrain and karst landscapes, and its name derives from a Zhuang phrase meaning "in, or blocking, a mountain pass." Zhuang people make up more than seven in ten of the local population.
