'''Guangxi''' (in full, the '''Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region''') is a mountainous province in south-west [[China]]. Its capital city is Nanning. It is bordered by the Chinese provinces of [[Guangdong]], [[Hunan]], [[Guizhou]], and [[Yunnan]] and by [[Vietnam]]; it also has a short coastline on the [[South China Sea]].
A relatively large percentage of the population is made up of national minorities (non- [[Han]] Chinese), which accounts for its notional 'autonomous' status.
Guangxi was the location of the outbreak of the [[Taiping Rebellion]] in 1850.
