General presentation
Zhaoqing and Dinghushan
Urban lakes, limestone peaks and subtropical forest form a natural escape west of Guangzhou.
To understand what Zhaoqing and Dinghushan are, you must look at the side of Seven Stars' Pics, Mount Dinghu and Old Zhaoqing Wall. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the shores and lakes, mountain reliefs and forests and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
