"By borrowing from the West Lake, you can move the Yangshuo to the Seven Piles of Mountains. Adding silk and willows to the embankment, the painting will remain between the heavens and the earth." This poem is about the scenery of the Qixingyan in Zhaoqing. As long as you walk around here, You will be surprised to find that the landscape of Zhaoqing is also comparable to the West Lake in Hangzhou and the mountain view of Guilin. The central lake, Bohai Lake, East Lake, Honglian Lake, Qinglian Lake, and Lihu Lake are separated by lake embankments, just like a string of jade necklaces. The pavilions and round-hole bridges form a frame of scenery, like a slowly-painted ink painting. Picturesque dreams, such as being in a paradise. Looking up, the ancient temple is in the mountains. This is especially suitable for people who want to say goodbye to the city's troubles, accompanied by breeze, bird language, walking in the mountains to get the inner peace.

The peaks of Dinghu Mountain in Zhaoqing overlap and the air is fresh. The Dinghu Mountain virgin forest is densely covered with 1,856 species of wild higher plants. Walking into the depths of the canyon, there is a waterfall named Longtan Waterfall, which is crystal clear. You can sit under the tree and enjoy the scenery of the stream, slowly blending into it, and the heart gradually calms down. The tiredness of climbing the mountain is also very relaxed at this moment. I am carrying a mosquito repellent ring. Go slow! 2 If you have a two-way sightseeing ticket to spend a lot of time in it, don't worry to get to the end. And the air here is particularly good, you can feel it more slowly, and enjoy the time inside. Stay in the Feishuitan 3 Next to the Feishuitan, you will see some grandfathers sitting and chatting by the water, and the tourists are always taking pictures and catching the most beautiful moments. After taking a photo, don't worry, walk like a local, sit in the water and daze, blow the wind of the waterfall, watch the waterfall go down, close your eyes and listen to the birds' songs. Now is the most precious moment to cherish. Dinghushan attractions recommended: Butterfly Valley, Qingyun Temple, Feishuitan Tickets: Dinghushan Tickets 70, cable car back and forth 20, Butterfly Valley 30 (Butterfly Valley Cruises need to buy tickets separately) Dinghushan, Zhaoqing

Join Angela Zhang in punching the clock at Zhaoqing!

Time: 2023.12.9 20:00 Venue: Zhaoqing New District Sports Center Football Stadium I didn't expect Angela Zhang to hold a concert near my home, what a surprise! For friends coming from other places, I recommend you enjoy Zhaoqing while you're here for the concert! Here are some local attractions: 1. Dinghu Mountain Among the four famous mountains of Lingnan, which are Dinghu Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Xiqiao Mountain, and Danxia Mountain, Dinghu Mountain is the foremost. It is a well-known tourist destination with its various springs and waterfalls, lush primeval forests, and rich subtropical plants. Here you can climb the mountain and enjoy the 'forest oxygen bar'. 2. Seven Star Crags Seven Star Crags is located about 2 kilometers north of Zhaoqing city area, consisting of five lakes, six hillocks, seven crags, and eight caves. The scenic area has four gates in the east, west, south, and north, with a Fairy Lake entrance in the northeast. The east gate is closer to Fairy Lake, and the south gate is closer to the Seven Star Crags Arch Square, but both of these entrances are relatively far from the core scenic area, so it is recommended to enter from the west gate or the north gate along the Yingbin Boulevard. 3. Zhaoqing Ancient City Wall (Songcheng Road) The Duanzhou ancient city wall is located around Songcheng Road in Zhaoqing city area, originally built during the Song Dynasty. It is rectangular, with the highest point at the Piyun Tower in the north of the city. It is the only complete ancient city wall in Guangdong and is also a symbolic building of the cultural city of Zhaoqing. On December 9th, let's meet in Zhaoqing. Zhaoqing welcomes everyone to come and play!

Is this place really worth visiting? It's like a natural oxygen bar

⛰【Travel Guide】 📍Detailed Address: Dinghu Mountain is located in the northeastern part of Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, 70 kilometers east of Guangzhou and 18 kilometers west of Zhaoqing. 🚗Transportation Guide: Zhaoqing does not have an airport, so you can choose to fly to Foshan, Guangzhou, or Zhuhai. Zhaoqing East Station (15 kilometers away from Dinghu Mountain, with direct bus service) Zhaoqing Station (20 kilometers away from Dinghu Mountain, with direct bus service) 💰Ticket Price: 🎫Admission is 70 RMB per person; Guangdong students can enter for free and it's advisable to purchase tickets on the phone in advance to use the QR code directly. If it's crowded, the queue can be quite long. Sightseeing bus is 20 RMB per person; you can buy a ticket at each stop. It's personally recommended to walk up the mountain and take the sightseeing bus back. Butterfly Valley is 35 RMB per person and requires a separate ticket. 🌟Highlights: The most fun part is walking up along the springs, where you can also play in the water and take photos. The scenery is very photogenic! Compared to taking the sightseeing bus directly to the destination, walking gives a stronger sense of experience. Qingyun Temple has many stairs, and you can offer incense there. If you're not interested or in need of this, you can skip this spot. Butterfly Valley requires a boat ride, but the place is quite small, and there are actually not many butterflies. Baoding Garden is the place where you throw balls in the picture, 10 RMB for 10 balls, which is quite fun and makes for a happy experience. 📌Little Tips: After leaving the park, you can try the zongzi (rice dumplings) at the entrance! Dinghu Mountain's zongzi are quite famous, said to be boiled with spring water. Recommended is the Liuji old brand Shanshui wrapped steamed zongzi; the lady is very nice and enthusiastic, with many flavors available. Further down the small road, there are also snacks like tofu pudding for sale~

Zhaoqing CITY WALK Guide, Discover the Charm of the City!

Sisters, I recently went to the ancient city walls and arcade streets of Zhaoqing Songcheng, and it was so much fun😄! This attraction not only has a long history but also integrates modern entertainment elements, definitely worth a visit. First of all, I have to say that the ancient city walls of Songcheng are truly magnificent! As soon as you enter, you feel as if you have traveled back to the grand Song Dynasty period🏰. The ancient walls stand tall and the thick brick and stone structure is ancient, as if you can feel the weight of history. Climbing up the city wall, looking far into the distance, you can overlook the beautiful scenery, which is absolutely spectacular! After stepping out of the ancient city walls, I came to the arcade streets. This place is filled with a strong retro vibe, with rows of arcades connecting the buildings on both sides, giving a sense of traveling through time⏳. Above the arcades are various shops, some selling traditional handicrafts, some selling delicious food, and others offering specialty snacks. I walked and tasted so many delicious foods, the taste was really amazing! In addition to the ancient city walls and arcade streets, there are many other attractions here. For example, Qixingyan, where you can take a boat tour and enjoy a leisurely time on the lake🛶.

The ancient city walls of Zhaoqing, a castle that began in the Song Dynasty

I never expected Zhaoqing to still have ancient city walls, and they were built during the Song Dynasty, what a sight to behold! Due to the vastness of the Star Lake scenic area and time constraints, I couldn't stay too long, so I planned to just stroll around Seven-Star Rocks and head back. Unexpectedly, I suddenly came across the ancient city walls of Zhaoqing, which instantly rejuvenated my spirit, and I drove straight to the ancient walls. Standing on the Zhaoqing ancient city walls and looking around, I could only see a small part of the original corner of the wall, as most of it has been restored later. The most recent restoration started in 2005 and ended in 2007, and overall, it feels pretty good. The Piyun Tower is still quite majestic, and there is a pair of ancient stone lions that are very old, truly cultural relics! The visitor route needs to be well planned.
