I went to Zhaoqing on October 26 to take a boat tour of Qixingyan Scenic Area. The panoramic view of Qixingyan is very beautiful. But the tour time is only about an hour, and the sitting position is not beautiful, so I did not take many photos in the above places, I hope next time I have the opportunity to come to this place to play and take pictures, because it gives me a very relaxed and relaxed feeling. #Greater Bay Area Attractions

My leisure trip across Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan provinces brought me to Zhaoqing, a famous city in central-western Guangdong. I took a slow train from Dayu to Guangzhou Baiyun Station, transferred there, and arrived in Zhaoqing around 8pm. Zhaoqing has a well-developed public transportation system with frequent buses, so I quickly reached the old town. Staying in the old town allowed me to experience the vibrant city life, which was quite interesting. I've been to Zhaoqing many times before, either briefly or just passing through. The Seven Star Crags and Yuejiang Tower left a lasting impression, as did the local snack "Guozheng" (a large zongzi). On this visit to Zhaoqing, I made sure to carefully appreciate the charm of the Seven Star Crags. The Seven Star Crags are located in the middle of Star Lake. Like the West Lake in Hangzhou, the scenic area is closely connected to the city, with scenery within the city and people within the scenery, creating a harmonious blend. It's also a great place for Zhaoqing residents to relax and exercise. The seven peaks within Star Lake are arranged like the Big Dipper, hence the name "Seven Star Crags." The mountains are wondrous, the water is beautiful, and the lake and mountains complement each other. The most impressive aspect is, of course, the lake view of the Seven Star Crags. Exploring the Seven Star Crags in winter is a good choice for off-season travel, with fewer crowds and beautiful scenery. Entering from the east gate, sights such as Double Rainbow Bridge, Snow Viewing Pavilion, Wave Listening Pavilion, Inkstone Viewing Pavilion, and Waterfall Listening Pavilion all come into view. Mountains rise from the lake, caves hide within the mountains, and rivers flow through the caves, creating a picturesque scene resembling a fairyland. The highest peak of the Seven Star Crags is called "Tianzhu Peak," which is very steep and difficult to climb. A pavilion has been built on the summit. Because this mountain towers into the clouds, standing on the Star Pavilion feels like you can reach the stars in the sky, hence the name "Star Reaching Pavilion." Looking out from the pavilion, the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains evokes a sense of "looking down upon all the mountains" and "reaching for the stars and moon in the sky," creating a poetic and picturesque atmosphere. The winter lake water is like a bright mirror. A gentle breeze blows, and the clear lake water ripples as if startled by small fish, or perhaps it's just greeting the visitors! Strolling along the ten-mile-long embankment, I contemplated the passage of time and looked back at this scenic spot where mountains and water meet. Every mountain, every body of water, every plant, and every tree here is imbued with historical charm and cultural heritage. They have witnessed the thousand-year evolution of the Seven Star Crags and recorded the laughter and joy of countless visitors. With each future visit, I'm sure I'll discover even more beauty and wonder in this place.

Zhaoqing is about 1 hour away from Guangzhou. You can take the train back and forth, but it's a bit tiring. 🥺 The park entrance fee is about 70 yuan. You can buy it at the entrance. It's a 5A level park. It's a wetland area. There are many places to visit, including caves, temples, museums, sightseeing spots, shrines, boating, and many activities. The nature is beautiful. You may not be able to visit all the places in one day. If you want to change your mood from Guangzhou, you can come here.

I have drawn a map at the end of the last two pictures, you can check it out if you are not clear. You can choose to take a taxi to the Seven Star Crags Bridge, after crossing the bridge you will see the big characters for Seven Star Crags, where you can take photos and check in. Then walk to the East Gate, check your ticket to enter, or choose to enter from the South Gate, both are similar. Once inside, just keep walking forward, along the way there are Star Lake bamboo rafts, if you want to take a raft ride, buy a ticket there, the area circled in white on my map is the range of the bamboo raft tour. Walk to the Red Lotus Bridge, where lotuses are planted, and you can enjoy the lotuses. After crossing the bridge, you will reach Guan Yu Pavilion, where many fish are raised in the water and you can buy some fish feed to feed them. There is also an Iron Chain Bridge to walk on, I took a detour to the Iron Chain Bridge and then reached the North Face of Tianzhu Rock, where there is a mountain trail. It takes about half an hour to climb up, not very high, but the scenery on the mountain is quite worth it. From the top, you can see the whole view of the Seven Star Crags scenic area, and there is a Zhaixing Pavilion at the top, where you can sit and rest. Then descend from another trail around the mountain, that is, to the South Face of Tianzhu Rock, so you don't have to go back the same way. After coming down the mountain, pass the Red Lotus Bridge again and walk forward to Star Lake Cruise Boat - Chanlin Pier, if you buy the boat ticket online, you need to purchase it half an hour in advance, and it's a few yuan cheaper online. The boat ticket includes a round trip, first take the boat to Flamingo Island, the island is quite small, just to see flamingos, there are not many flamingos, about a dozen or twenty, but they look pretty good in photos. After crossing a bridge, you can see the red-crowned cranes, and you can also buy fish to feed them. After that, take the boat again to Star Lake Wetland Park, if you don't take the boat, you can also enter the wetland park from another gate, which is a bit far, but you can't get to Flamingo Island without taking the boat. If you are not interested in birds, you can also skip the boat ride. In the wetland park, you can see the Reclining Buddha Containing Elixir, one of the ten scenic spots of Star Lake, which looks good at sunset, but I didn't wait for the sunset when I was there. Then just walk forward past Fairy Lake, Lingzhi Island, to reach Shidong Ancient Temple, which is the last scenic spot. Next to the ancient temple is the pier, take the boat back to the starting point Star Lake Cruise Boat - Chanlin Pier. After a full circle, you are almost done with the tour. After the boat ride, the closest exit is the North Gate, if you want to go back to the East Gate or South Gate, it will take half an hour. I exited from the North Gate, and it took only about fifteen minutes to walk out.
