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.

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🛶.

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.
