Seven Star Zhaoqing, the capital of inkstone in China

Zhaoqing has a long history and was called Duanzhou in ancient times. In 1118 AD, Zhao Ji, the Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, granted the title of Duanzhou King before he ascended the throne, so he personally gave a royal letter to change Duanzhou to Zhaoqing, meaning "a happy and auspicious beginning".


Zhaoqing, about 90 kilometers away from Guangzhou, is located in the "throat" of the Pearl River Delta and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, which connects the southwest of China. It is the only important node city in the Greater Bay Area bordering the southwest. With convenient transportation and picturesque scenery, it is a national civilized city, one of the first batch of excellent Chinese tourist cities, and a national historical and cultural city. As the old tourist cities in Guangdong, Qixingyan and Dinghu Mountain have long been famous, and they are also rare ecological barriers in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Bay Area.


Zhaoqing City has connected various scenic spots with tourist avenues, thus forming an attractive "Zhaoqing thousand mile tour" ring gallery.
The "Zhaoqing Thousand Mile Tour" Loop Gallery is the golden dimension of Zhaoqing tourism. With Zhaoqing urban area as the center, it connects urban and rural areas and more than 40 tourist attractions in 8 counties (cities and districts) of Zhaoqing, forming a circle and linking up the good tourism scenery of Zhaoqing. There is a scenic spot every 30 minutes by bus. The scenery along the way is endless and beautiful. On this line, there are not only country roads, but also national highway express lines and leisure greenways. The passengers stopped and walked all the way, looking at it slowly and comfortably.


The beautiful natural scenery, good ecological environment, profound cultural accumulation, rich and colorful folk customs, and colorful food attract tourists from all over the country to Zhaoqing for leisure and vacation.
