2024 Zhaoqing Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
Zhaoqing is located in Guangdong. In ancient times it was called Duanzhou under the Sui. It is where the Duan inkstone originated, one of China's “Four Famous Inkstones", and was indispensable to calligraphers and artists. The scenery here is majestic, with beautiful scenic areas such as Seven Star Crags, Dinghu Mountain, Panlong Gorge and Xing Lake. There are also cultural sites of interest that are representative of Cantonese culture and have also borne witness to the city's history, including the old city walls, Longmu Temple, Qingyun Temple and the Mei Nunnery.

Seven Star Crag Scenic Area
Dinghu Mountain
Zhaoqing actually has a hotel with such a high cost performance.
Zhaoqing should be considered a niche tourist city. I have stayed in Zhaoqing for a year, Dinghu Mountain, Seven Star Rock, can be said to be the natural wonders, very beautiful. But to extend their beauty, we can't do without our protection of the environment... Because Dinghu Mountain left in my impression is visible to the naked eye casually thrown garbage has an upward trend...
Back to the topic, summer vacation for three days and two nights hea play, finally selected the cost-effective Zhaoqing Sheraton, including breakfast more than 600 a night can be ye!
The environment and service are five-star experience, large area, large hotel, with swimming pool, gym, game room, children's area and so on. If there is a shortage, I counted about 400 rooms, but the swimming pool is a bit mini compared to the number of rooms, resulting in peak period simply do not need to go into the water...
Catering production, breakfast selection is rich, but may be too many people, will slightly affect the experience. Lunch and dinner can be served in the Chinese restaurant, the price is friendly, the first time in the hotel to solve three meals (because it is too hot...). Out of the white cut chicken, the rest did not step on the thunder.
Zhaoqing Classical Style Hotel|Living in Su Shi's Poems, super nice!
Never thought that Zhaoqing hides so many fun places, a relaxing and pleasant 2-day-1-night weekend.
For the first time staying in Zhaoqing, we chose the Zhaoqing Xingyu Lake Residence Hotel in the Zijing West Embankment, one of the most beautiful greenways in the country.
This stay not only had the comfort of a hotel but also the cozy atmosphere of a homestay, combined with a new Chinese classical style, it was a delightful surprise~
The hotel's location is excellent, quiet but not remote, 🚶🏻♀️➡️ about a 10-minute walk to Paifang Street, convenient for watching the musical fountain at night. 'The water shines brightly in the clear weather, and the mountains are mysterious in the rain,' the hotel is right in front of Xinghu Lake, and the lake and mountain scenery under the bright sun are particularly splendid.
The lobby and public area are carefully decorated, perfect for photos. The large brush and Duan inkstone painting at the entrance, along with the small pond, create a beautiful cultural photo. The public area has a free self-service tea area ☕️, tree trunk-shaped chairs, old-fashioned wooden box-shaped tables, and antique decorations, making it very charming.
We chose a lake view king room, with the bed and bathtub facing the Xinghu Lake scenery, a big plus! Disposable bath bags are provided, making the bath more reassuring. The lakeside balcony is spacious and comfortable, with eye-catching greenery, full of vitality. There are welcome fruits upon check-in, thoughtful and warm.
It is recommended to experience the rooftop breakfast 🍜, in the sky garden on the fourth floor, you can overlook the entire Xinghu Lake and distant mountains, sitting on the swing and watching the clouds roll by is very pleasant. Breakfast is buffet-style, with not many varieties but very good quality, the dehumidifying porridge is great, and you can also taste the local wrapped steamed rice dumplings.
📌 There is a free parking lot, do not park in front of the hotel, those are public paid parking spaces!

My dream when I started reading historical books have always been to travel to those places with rich history. Now that I am working here in China as a teacher, I told myself that someday I'll go to those UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE sites here in China. Thanks trip.com for the convenience of booking my hotel, airlines, and fast trains to these wonderful destinations. Trip.com have made my travel goals a lot more easier. 👏🎉❤️
In the summer of Zhaoqing, the evening obsessive sunset sneaked up the Qixingyan mountain peak and floated in the sky. Pushing the door of the hotel out of the balcony, it was instantly attracted by such beautiful scenery, and the beautiful scenery was unobstructed. When the phoenix blossoms, it is strolling on the wooden plank road of the B&B. The lakes and mountains are particularly beautiful under the illumination of the lights. The quiet night is like taking me into the landscape paintings. I have been reluctant to walk away for a long time.
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.

"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.
