A path in the woods

This was beautiful. This is a virgin subtropical rainforest. The air was fresh and park was large. My friend and I were often the only one's around. There are temples and waterfalls which were nice so we had an aim of where to walk. Mostly it was just great to walk in real rainforest.

Seven Craigs Park

From craig to craig

This park is basically surrounded by the city. It is also quite large. You can boats around the lake to it or hike around. My friend and I walked around for about three hours and saw maybe a third of it.

The craigs or peaks them selves are nice, but don't compair with Yangshou in height or beauty. There are a few temples in the park and also a few caves to view. The Chinese have decorated the caves with bizzare rainbow colored lights.

You can hike up most of the craigs and get a view of other craigs, lakes, the city and in the distance mountains.

Here... Star lake in Zhaoqing...
This ordinary place is full of unusual people and things...
Yes, you can have a romantic walk among flowers by the lake side. The wind will kiss your face...softly...
Maybe can have a dinner with your friends in the boat too...

Go inside the caves at Seven Star Crags

If you like calligraphy you'll love this cave!

Seven Star Crags is the most attractive of Zhaoqing's attractions and the caves are among Seven Star Crags best highlights.
There are eight caves at Seven Star Crags and each one is different. The two best ones are the underground river cave which you tour by boat and the calligraphy cave.
So many famous and not so famous poets came to Zhaoqing over hundreds of years that the 20th century calligraphers had a hard time finding any space left in this cave for their poem inspired carvings.

Seven Star Crags

There's a boat cruise that can be taken around Seven Star Crags at night. Many pagodas and structures are lit up at night. Sorry, I don't have any info as I joined an organized tour to Zhaoqing.

Look behind me, it's a beautiful lake in Dinghu Shan!!

I always think: "If a person does not even love nature, then what can they love?"

Don't harm nature, always care for it!
