Liuzhou health department inspected 8 swimming pools in Liuzhou on August 17, 2009 and found serious health and hygiene concerns. 7 of the 8 pools tested positive for harmful bacteria. Inspections also found a common problem of the level
of free chlorine being higher than recommended, which means the water
could irritate the skin. "Although restrictions have been clearly made
out to pool managements, it is obviously that no one complies with it."

Despite (or because of) having been born in St. Andrews, the home of golf, I know nothing about the sport. Or next to nothing. I do know however that Que'er Park in the north of Liuzhou is home to the Lucky Bird Golf Club. I've never been inside the place, so I don't know what is there, but space suggests that it can't possibly be a full course. In fact, even a nine-hold course seems unlikely. I suspect it's a driving range. If you know different please contact us at:
For directions to the park, see swimming below.

Longtan Park (see below) have enabled the masses to walk on the waters of the lakes. You hire a large plastic ball, zip yourself inside and off you go. ¥10 for 10 minutes.
Great fun. I'm told. Now also available in Liuhou Park in the city centre. (March 2007) 6th August 2006 |

Thanks to everyone who supplied info on their favourite swimming pools in town. I deliberately asked people of the Laowai persuasion who are either here now or were here in the past, rather than ask my Chinese friends or wife, as I wanted the Laowai perspective. Favourite seems to be the
pool in Que Shan Park ( Second favourite is Long Tan Park ( Honourable mentions also goes to
Ma'an Shan Park ( Liuhou Park is definitely not recommended. Nor is the river! Liuzhou Hotel has an indoor pool. I need to check out its pricing. See safety story above.

There is a ten pin bowling rink on the 8th floor of Wuxing Department Store (see map). Cost varies from ¥6 to 12 depending on time of day. There is another bowling alley on the third floor of the building in front of Tian Tian Jian (The large Lianhua Supermarket) on Fei E Lu, near the railway station. It is cheaper than Wuxing, but there isn't such a good selection of balls.

Guangxi's largest indoor rock climbing wall is in Que Shan Park. The 10 metre high wall has six climbing paths and they have all the necessary protective equipment. No information on price, so if anyone makes it there, please let me know. For directions to the park, see swimming above.
