GP OF LIUZHOU CHINA - October 15, 2010: Liuzhou is located on the banks of the winding Liu River, approximately 255 km from Nanning, the provincial capital. Liuzhou is 1,852 kilometres from Beijing, 1,415 km from Shanghai and 537 km from Hong Kong. Swimming in the river is a tradition of the city. In summer, floods from the mountain areas upstream bring sediment which colors the water yellow. Picture by Vittorio Ubertone/Idea Marketing
