Baise Education

Baise (百色) is located at the junction of Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou and borders Vietnam, making it an important gateway for educational exchange between China and ASEAN countries. With a complete education system covering universities, vocational colleges, key secondary schools and primary schools, Baise has developed rich resources for international study tours, cultural exchange programs, red education, ethnic culture research and natural science exploration.

Unlike many traditional tourism destinations, Baise integrates education with local history, ecology and ethnic culture. The city combines the revolutionary heritage of the Baise Uprising, the world-class karst landscapes of Leye, the Zhuang cultural traditions of Jingxi and Tianyang, and the multi-ethnic communities of Longlin and Napo. These resources create a diverse study tour system suitable for overseas primary students, secondary school groups, university researchers and cultural exchange programs.

Baise’s educational tourism resources are mainly distributed across five areas. Youjiang District (右江区) is the urban education and cultural center, providing universities, key schools and red education bases. Tianyang District (田阳区), Tiandong County (田东县) and Pingguo City (平果市) focus on Zhuang culture, agriculture and rural education. Jingxi City (靖西市) and Debao County (德保县) specialize in ethnic handicrafts, border culture and karst ecology. Leye County (乐业县) and Lingyun County (凌云县) provide world-class geological and environmental study resources. Longlin Autonomous County (隆林各族自治县), Xilin County (西林县), Tianlin County (田林县) and Napo County (那坡县) offer valuable opportunities for multi-ethnic cultural research.
