General presentation
Qingyuan
Gorges, rivers and villages yao open the mountain Guangdong immediately north of Guangzhou.
Feilai Gorge, Nangang Yao Village and Lianzhou Underground River give the most telling landmarks of Qingyuan. Together, they form a destination where urban life, mountain reliefs, riverscapes and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and panorama
Gorge de Feilai
The Bei River runs through a rocky tightness punctuated with temples and cliffs. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, adapted shoes and hourly margins remain useful outside the cities.
Village
Village yao de Nangang
Close houses on a slope retain a strong Yao identity in the northwest of Guangdong. An early visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
River
Rivière souterraine de Lianzhou
A cave covered by a boat reveals vast halls and limestone concretions. The season, wind and water level greatly alter the experience; we must also respect the fragile banks and the possible local restrictions.
