Seven Star Crags
七星岩
Seven limestone peaks arranged like the Big Dipper rise above Star Lake, with scenery reminiscent of Guilin. It is Zhaoqing's signature sight and the core of a national 5A scenic area.
Seven Star Crags is the centerpiece of the Star Lake Scenic Area (national 5A). Seven karst peaks, arranged like the seven stars of the Big Dipper, stand in the more than 20 square kilometers of Star Lake. Highlights include the Stone Chamber Cave (with boat rides on an underground river), the rock carvings on the cliffs, Tianzhu Rock, and the Water Moon Palace. You can stroll along the lakeside embankment or rent a bicycle and ride the Star Lake Greenway. The South Gate archway square is closest to the city center. Allow half a day to a full day. Tickets are required, and some caves and boat rides cost extra.
