Guangdong (Chinese: 广东) is a province in South China, located on the South China Sea coast. Traditionally romanised as Kwangtung, Guangdong surpassed Henan and Sichuan to become the most populous province in China in January 2005, registering 79.1 million permanent residents and 31 million migrants who lived in the province for at least six months of the year; the total population was 104,303,132 in the 2010 census, accounting for 7.79 percent of Mainland China's population. This also makes it the most populous first-level administrative subdivision of any country outside the former British Raj, as its population is surpassed only by those of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The provincial capital Guangzhou and economic hub Shenzhen are among the most populous and important cities in China. The population increase since the census has been modest, the province at 2015 had 108,500,000 people.

National forest park and national geological park with lots of hiking options, gardens (peach, bamboo etc.) and the Buddha as main attraction. Ask before you go on one of the buses which direction, they take different turns sometimes. Great for taking pictures and there's some amazing views as well. We spend roughly 3 hours there but you can easily take a day to visit this attraction!

Dominated by spectacular limestone peaks, this is a large lake area with lots of caves and underground rivers.
Very scenic - the pictures say it all! Can easily spend an entire day here if you really want to visit all the sites and hike up the crags. Be prepared for some rather steep steps though. Weather was a little foggy when we are there in Dec. Can imagine that it will look even more fabulous in spring on a sunny day with blue sky, white clouds and lots of flowers! Admission fee of RMB70 applies. Bundle tickets with Dinghu Mountain (the other key attraction of Zhaoqing) available at RMB120 (valid for 2 days).

This is a beautiful park where you can stroll around the lake or take an on/off sightseeing “train” that comes by every 15 minutes. Visit a Buddhist temple, a nunnery, and shrines. There are picnic areas, a museum, a playground, but also places so quiet and peaceful you don’t notice the rest.
