Qixingyan | A Super Detailed Guide to a Day Trip around Guangzhou and Foshan

| A super detailed guide to Qixingyan for a day trip around Guangzhou and Foshan. Zhaoqing: A severely underrated attraction, perfect for leisurely strolls Jade waters encircle strange rocks, green trees shade ancient pavilions🌲, white clouds linger over green mountains🏔️ It's like stepping into a painting by ancient writers and artists. It's truly beautiful. Take advantage of the pleasant autumn weather to breathe in some fresh air and wander around.

The boat staff will also provide explanations along the way📢. ⛰️Longyan Cave (CNY 20/person normally, CNY 25/person on major holidays) Take a boat into the cave, then turn right. Climb a steep stone staircase to see a Buddha statue🗿. Go down through a narrow opening to return to the starting point. 🚎There are many sightseeing bus stops in the park, CNY 15/trip We took the bus from Shuangyuan Cave to Qixing Bridge, then walked back to the North Gate. ❗In addition to walking or taking the sightseeing bus, you can also take a boat tour⛴️for CNY 70/person [Boat route] North Gate Dock➡️Flamingo Island➡️Red-crowned Crane Ecological Park➡️Xinghu National Wetland Park➡️Golden Sand Beach➡️Reclining Buddha➡️North Gate Dock 📌Tips 1️⃣Many people recommend entering through the North Gate and exiting through the South Gate, but this route is only suitable for taking a taxi or public transport. If you are driving, you will need to take a taxi back to the North Gate to retrieve your car, which is not convenient. 🚗If you are driving, it is recommended to enter and exit through the North Gate (as per the route above). There is a large parking lot at the North Gate, making parking and retrieving your car convenient! 2️⃣The above route is flat. If you want to climb a mountain, you can climb Tianzhu Rock, which offers the best view as the highest point in the park. 3️⃣There are restaurants and snack stalls at the foot of Tianzhu Rock. 4️⃣Luggage storage is available at the North Gate Visitor Center. 5️⃣The scenic area is very large, so comfortable clothing and shoes are recommended.
