Lianjiangkou & Zhenyang Gorge
连江口镇
An old town at the confluence of the North River and the Lian River, with arcade-lined streets and the scenery of Zhenyang Gorge, one of the North River's “Little Three Gorges.”
Lianjiangkou Town lies in southern Yingde, where the Lian River flows into the North River. It was once a water-transport port. The town preserves arcade-lined old streets, a wharf and an old railway station on the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway, and has recently become a slow-travel town and a spot for viewing the river. Not far north is Zhenyang Gorge, one of the Little Three Gorges of the North River, where cliffs close in on both sides of the water. It can be seen from the riverside road or from lookout points. It is about 50 km from downtown Qingyuan and suits a self-drive detour. It can be linked with Baojing Palace and central Yingde.
