Zhaoqing City

Zhaoqing is one of the most appealing destinations in Guangdong and the prosperous Pearl River Delta, to which it belongs. It is the administrative centre for the district bearing the same name and has a population of over three million.
The city centre is flanked by green mountain ranges and sandwiched between the magnificent Star Lake and West River, making it one of the most scenic cities in the province. It is also one of the friendliest with residents enjoying a relaxed and unhurried pace of life. There is a good selection of modern shops and an excellent range of restaurants, offering dishes from across China. Other amenities include a bowling alley, ice-rink and a host of other sporting facilities.
As a relatively small city, Zhaoqing is easy to navigate. Transport is inexpensive and the city enjoys fast, frequent and reliable road, rail and ferry links with Hong Kong. Regular buses and trains are available to the provincial capital of Guangzhou, 110km to the east, and other cities nearby.

Dinghu Mountain, the most beautiful of Guangdong’s four famous peaks, is a short bus ride away and offers a retreat from city life. There are plenty of mountain and forest walks among temples and pools. Star Lake’s seven limestone crags, reminiscent of the more famous formations at Guilin, are also a major tourist draw and easily accessible by foot or boat from the city centre.
