Zhaoqing Ancient City Wall

The Duanzhou Ancient City Wall is located in the area of Songcheng Road in Zhaoqing City and was built in the Song Dynasty. It is rectangular in shape and its commanding height is Piyun Tower in the north of the city. It is the only remaining complete ancient city wall in Guangdong and a landmark building in the cultural city of Zhaoqing. The ancient city wall has been repaired many times in the past thousand years, and there are many kinds of brick walls. It is a living "brick museum". It's not majestic, but it has its own unique flavor. Generally, go up to the tower from the north gate "chaotian", and you will see the residents and houses on the tower. The house is built directly on the ancient city wall, and the city wall is like the fence of the residents' homes. Sometimes, residents can also be seen walking their dogs. Think about it, in the past, officers and soldiers were stationed on the city wall outside the gate of the enemy, and now such a picture of the market is really a very interesting scene. The four corners of the original city wall had turrets, all of which were later destroyed. Now the more magnificent is the reconstructed Piyun Tower. Go west along Songcheng Road, turn left at the crossroads and turn to Qingfengtan. There is a "Song Dynasty Ancient City Wall" stone tablet in the city wall. Entering from the iron gate next to it, you can go up to the city tower to see the Piyun Tower. In fact, there are quite a few ancient city walls in China, but compared with the better developed ancient city walls that charge fees, the ancient city walls in Zhaoqing still have their own small feeling and taste. It's free and accessible. Looking back at the ancient city wall, one side of the wall is no different from any city, it looks like a city. But separated by a wall, there is a circle of leisure and contentment.Zhaoqing · 422m from downtown

Qixingyan Archway Square is mainly composed of Qixingyan Archway, Archway Square, and colorful music fountain. It draws on the characteristics of Lingnan architecture and garden layout as a whole. Among them, the point where tourists often take pictures is the Qixingyan Arch, which was built in 1958 and is a landmark building in Zhaoqing. Its tones are complemented by bright and bright red, green and blue, showing Zhaoqing's unrestrained and enthusiastic attitude towards life, which is quite magnificent and beautiful. Around the square, there are steps, flower beds, mushroom-shaped water curtain pavilions and many other places for rest. The square is very lively day and night, and people will run here in the early morning; when the lanterns are on, there will be crowds to appreciate the splendid lighting effects of the archway and the fountain, and everyone can enjoy themselves. Of course, there is nothing more lively than when the musical fountain starts in the evening, the crowd is surging. In the square, there are people who ride bicycles, some play inline rollers, some chat, some slapstick, some play mobile games, and there are square dance aunts that are indispensable everywhere, full of the taste of the market. The transportation here is very convenient, and there are many bus routes, and you can get off at the bus terminal or at the East Paifang Station. There is a large shopping mall next to it, it is very convenient to eat, drink and go shopping.Zhaoqing · 932m from downtown

I revisited Seven Star Crags in Zhaoqing after more than a decade! The familiar scenery is still beautiful, but the scenic area has been greatly improved, with many new attractions and a much richer experience. It's definitely worth coming back to explore it in detail.

The air at Dinghu Mountain is fresh, and the hike isn't too tiring; it's quite enjoyable, especially seeing many silver pheasants. However, there are too many commercial tourist facilities at the summit, making it very noisy.

This package includes Dinghu Mountain and Qixingyan, which is great value. The attractions are not in the same area, so you need to drive there yourself. The scenery is very nice and there are very few people. There is a big cauldron in Dinghu Mountain where you can throw balls into it to pray for blessings. Many people buy balls and throw them in.

The area is not large, but it is full of fun! The flamingos are brightly colored, and the red-crowned cranes are graceful! Although the lake is not as wide as the Xingyan cruise route, the close-up view of the Heron Island and the reclining Buddha are beautiful!

This is a rare well-preserved ancient city wall in China, and is currently a national key protected building. There are more than 40 types of bricks on the wall, all of which were repaired in different eras. Zui Piyun Tower is the highest point of the city wall, and you can overlook the ruins enclosed by the city wall and the urban area of ​​Zhaoqing from the tower.

As one of the three ancient buildings in Lingnan, it is worth seeing. It is located by the mountains and the water, facing the Xijiang River, which is very good. The main building is a brick, wood and stone structure, with a total width of about 134 meters, a total depth of about 102 meters, and an area of about 13,668 square meters. It consists of a stone archway, a mountain gate, an incense pavilion, a main hall, front and back wings, a dressing building, a stele pavilion, the East Yu Hall, and a west living room. It is a building complex with the central axis as the main axis and the two sides as auxiliary buildings.

The Qixingyan Archway is a must-see destination, bar none. When I visited, they were setting up a beer brand event. The combination of nature and the immersive concert experience was incredible! The added bonus was the cat mural on the pedestrian street along the archway, which was a perfect cue.
