南寧，廣西壯族自治區(qū)的省會城市，是廣西最大的城市，也是北部灣經(jīng)濟(jì)特區(qū)的核心。它座落在廣西的西南部，與越南毗鄰。南寧總共有36個少數(shù)民族居住在這里，包括壯族，苗族，瑤族等等。南寧的人口總共是666.16萬，其中城市人口344萬。因為其大量的森林覆蓋，美麗的風(fēng)景和舒適的居住環(huán)境，南寧也稱作”綠城“。

In addition to the superior geographical environment, Nanning has gradually developed into an international metropolis. October 8,2003, in Bali, Indonesia, during the Seventh ASEAN and China (10+1) Leader’s Meeting. Premier Wen Jiabao suggested organizing the China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning since 2004 and this proposal was generally welcomed by leaders. Since 2004, China-ASEAN Expo is held in November of each year in Nanning, Guangxi, which has brought great benefit to Nanning even Guangxi.

除了優(yōu)越的地理環(huán)境外，南寧已經(jīng)逐漸發(fā)展成一座國際化大都市。2003年10月8日，溫家寶總理在印度尼西亞巴厘島第七次東盟與中國10+1領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會議上建議，從2004年起，每年11月在中國廣西南寧舉辦中國－東盟博覽會。這一建議得到了各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的普遍歡迎，并寫入了會后發(fā)表的主席聲明。自2004年起，中國-東盟博覽會每年11月在廣西南寧市舉辦，給南寧乃至廣西帶來了巨大的利益。

Meanwhile, Nanning is also a tourist city, attracting thousands of visitors to travel. They are impressed by the beautiful appearance of Nanning city and its friendly people. As the deepening of internationalization, the people of Nanning are trying effort to build a more beautiful, harmonious city. We believe that Nanning will develop increasingly better.

同時，南寧也是一座旅游城市，吸引著成千上萬名游客來旅游。他們對南寧美麗的外觀和友好的人民印象深刻。隨著國際化的深入，南寧人試圖建立一個更美麗，更和諧的城市。我相信南寧會發(fā)展得更加好。
