Tour of Guangxi

The route pairs flat and rolling stages for the sprinters with one summit finish at the Nongla scenic area, in the countryside north of Nanning. The climb is short: as raced in 2025 it was 3.1 kilometers at an average of 6.3 percent. In every edition through 2025 the winner at Nongla took the leader's jersey that day and kept it, never with a final margin of more than 15 seconds. The other stages mostly end in bunch sprints: Fernando Gaviria won four in 2017 and Paul Magnier five in 2025. In 2024 and 2025 the race ended with five laps of a circuit in Nanning over the Qingxiushan climb, and both times a reduced bunch sprinted for the stage.

Six stages from Chongzuo to Nongla, with the climb that decided every earlier edition moved to the last day.
