Zhaoqing, formerly known as Duanzhou, is a thousand-year-old city in western Guangdong Province that combines natural scenery with cultural heritage. 1. Must-see attractions: a feast of landscape and history 1. Qixingyan: A poetic painting of karst wonders Qixingyan is the "city business card" of Zhaoqing. Seven limestone peaks are scattered on the lake, forming a unique landscape of "lake in the mountains and mountains in the lake". It is recommended to enter from the east gate, take a boat tour of Xinghu Lake, cross the thousand-year-old cliff carvings of Shishiyan (there are more than 500 inscriptions from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty), and explore the underground river of Longyan Cave. In the evening, you can go up to the Tianzhu Rock Observation Deck to overlook the sunset over the Star Lake and experience the "fairyland on earth". Tips: The combined ticket to the scenic area is about 70 yuan, and renting a bicycle to ride around the lake (about 20 yuan/hour) is the best way to experience it in depth. 2. Dinghushan: Lingnan’s natural oxygen bar As China's first national nature reserve, Dinghushan is famous for its high content of negative oxygen ions.
