Liuzhou was a famous industrial city in China. In the past, the industry affected its water environment. Later, the local government strengthened the protection of water quality in the Liujiang River basin, creating a favorable urban environment with beautiful mountains and waters. In 2020 and 2021, Liuzhou ranked first for two consecutive years in the surface water environmental quality among China's cities above the prefecture level. Today, Liuzhou has become a green industrial city.
