How it's used
Native speakers often refer to the region simply as 桂 when discussing travel or regional identity. It is important to remember that it is an autonomous region, so it is technically more accurate to refer to it as 廣西壯族自治區 in formal or official contexts. When talking about the local cuisine, people might specifically mention 桂林米粉, which is the most famous culinary export from the region.
