Nanning[a] is the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China.[6] It is known as the "Green City (绿城) " because of its abundance of lush subtropical foliage. Located in the South of Guangxi, Nanning is surrounded by a hilly basin, with a warm, monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate.
Beginning in 1949, as it underwent sustained industrial growth, Nanning's economy began developing beyond its former role, and the city became essentially a commercial and administrative centre.[7] Today, Nanning is considered the economic, financial and cultural center of Guangxi, and the chief centre for the training of the Zhuang minority in Guangxi.[8] The People's Park is located in the center of the city. The city also serves as a gateway for the China-ASEAN opening up and cooperation.[8]
As of 2024, Nanning was ranked one of the top 200 science cities in the world by scientific research outputs.[9] The city is home to several notable universities in South China, including Guangxi University, Guangxi Medical University, Guangxi University for Nationalities, Guangxi University of Finance and Economics and Guangxi Arts University.
