Geng, M.Y.; Ma, K.X.; Hong, L., and Wang, K., 2020. Zhuang landscape architecture evolvement in Guangxi: The example of coastal city Nanning. In: Guido Aldana, P.A. and Kantamaneni, K. (eds.), Advances in Water Resources, Coastal Management, and Marine Science Technology. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 104, pp. 902–906. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.The long period of time assures the evolvement and accumulation of the Zhuang culture in Guangxi. It has thus formed its own unique landscape architecture, which interacts and co-develop with the Zhuang people's life, activities, culture and regional natural conditions, in shaping the city image and inheriting the regional culture. Through the in-depth study and analysis on the landscape architecture of the Zhuang Nationality in Guangxi, its cultural heritage and local customs and conditions could be appreciated, to practice the abstract culture in real life. Taking the application and inheritance of local culture as the starting point, this paper systematically reviews the evolvement process of the Zhuang landscape architecture, and provides assistance for exploring ways to create urban landscape characteristics.
