Just an hour from Guangzhou, I finally figured out how to have fun in Zhaoqing!

I didn't want to be crowded with people in Guangzhou on the weekend 😣, so I took a whim and rushed to Zhaoqing in an hour by car. I didn't expect this treasure city to hide so many surprises ✨! Today, I'm here to share my one-day tour guide to Zhaoqing! The opportunity to travel and the advantages of Zhaoqing On weekends in Guangzhou, popular attractions are crowded with people 🙈. Not wanting to join in the fun, I set my sights on Zhaoqing, which is an hour's drive away. Zhaoqing is not only convenient to get to 🚄, but also has both natural scenery and cultural heritage, which perfectly meets my expectations for a day trip. Here are ✅ beautiful lakes and mountains 🌅 ✅ ancient temples with thousands of years of history ⛩️ ✅ special food 🍱, each of which is very attractive. Overview of Zhaoqing's charm As a famous historical and cultural city, Zhaoqing has iconic landscapes such as the Seven Star Crags and Dinghu Mountain. The integration of culture and nature is intoxicating 😍. After the trip, I couldn't wait to sort out this guide 📖, hoping to help everyone appreciate the beauty of Zhaoqing. "My route" 🌄 Morning: Depart from Guangzhou - Seven Star Crags Arrive in Zhaoqing easily by intercity train from Guangzhou, and head to the Seven Star Crags for the first stop 🌟. Here, there are mountains in the lake, caves in the mountains, and rivers in the caves, with fantastic scenery. Stroll along the lake 🚶, breathe the fresh air, and admire the beauty of the rock peaks reflected in the lake, as if you are in a fairyland. 🌅 Afternoon: Dinghu Mountain After lunch, head to Dinghu Mountain 🌳, as the "emerald" on the Tropic of Cancer, it has a high forest coverage and is an excellent oxygen-absorbing resort 🧚. Walk along the mountain trail, feel the gurgling stream 💧, listen to the birds singing 🐦, and your body and mind will be greatly relaxed. "About attractions" 1. Seven Star Crags 🎈 Known as "a fairyland on earth" and "the first wonder of Lingnan", the seven rock peaks are scattered on the lake like the Big Dipper ⭐. You can choose to take a boat trip 🚤 to admire the magic of the karst landform up close, and you can also check in at the cliff stone carvings 🖼️ to feel the profound historical and cultural heritage. 2. Dinghu Mountain 🎈 China's first nature reserve 🌳, with extremely high levels of negative oxygen ions in the air. Qingyun Temple is solemn and majestic ⛩️, and is one of the four famous temples in Lingnan. Feishuitan Waterfall is majestic 🌊. Mr. Sun Yat-sen once swam here, and there is also his inscription ✍️ by the pool. "Transportation and accommodation" Since it is a day trip, you can return on the same day 🚄. If you want to stay longer, it is recommended to stay near the Seven Star Crags or Dinghu Mountain, so that you can continue to play the next day 🏨. "Food Guide" ✅ Guozheng Rice Dumpling: A traditional Zhaoqing delicacy, glutinous rice, mung beans, and pork belly are wrapped in winter leaves, and the aroma is overflowing after steaming 😋, with a soft and glutinous taste. ✅ Mai Xi Carp: The fish is fresh and tender, and it retains its original flavor after steaming 🥢, and is rich in nutrients. ✅ Camellia Oil Chicken: The chicken skin is yellow and the meat is smooth, and the aroma of camellia oil is unique, which is unforgettable 🤩. Zhaoqing, this treasure city so close to Guangzhou, is worth exploring for its natural scenery and food culture 🧐. Hurry up and collect this guide and set off for a weekend trip 🎉
