Early April of this year, in the SARS epidemic of the day, our whole family for the time being to avoid the noisy city, drive to the northwest of Guangdong turn a couple of days to enjoy the so-called "Guangdong Small Guilin" scenery.
This trip, from the decision to proceed relatively short, and simply browse the the destination information, the next day on the road. Son and daughter, two "drivers" take turns driving, we are an old married couple, one person is responsible for checking maps, to verify the line, one in possession of photography, along the way to also still smooth.

Qingyuan two years the Southern Song Dynasty (in 1195) due to 'Chengen Zehnder' was promoted to the Anglo-German government. Hongwu 2 year (1369) changed the Anglo-German counties. In 1994 it became a city (county level). "city that they are also neat, but Lueqian busy.
Because we are not prepared to go to a few limestone cave attractions and temples, and only stop in the street a moment to study the map later, through cities, at 13:30 out of the Anglo-German city, take Provincial Highway 347 westbound. 14:03 The lime Dipu Town, 14:15 in the 3 km east of the town of Han Guang fork in the road, turn left, take the 348 provincial highway southwest line, along the road very well. 14:36 through the West cattle town, had not even Ebashi, continue westbound. Tianliao about near the front of the bridges, roads go off pavement change is a new pad subgrade, turbulence about 10 kilometers away, to be made of gold River waterside village, on a county road Youxiang West. 15:40 to one called "Rong Jiang small Guilin" attractions. JIULONG here in the south of the limestone peaks have entered the landscape area. It is operated by the local villagers of a small area, a river bend, Koho number of seats, a few bamboo bundle, local scenery is acceptable but a lack of planning, management also more extensive. There is said to raft drifting items, available for viewing in the distance caverns. (See Figure ⑴) We are here to stay a little after 4:05 p.m. Sheung northbound, 16:10 by JIULONG northbound 7 km, 16:25 by ming Kangjing town, north west 16:30 to move forward. Along the way that is "Sino-British Xifeng Lin scenic corridor," Here is our first destination of the driving season.
Guangdong, Guangxi, adjacent to the north and northwest, widely distributed in limestone rock formation, in the subtropical humid climate conditions, over millions of years of good rainfall and groundwater dissolution, forming a typical karst landform, also known as "karst." On the ground to see different forms of limestone peaks, that is, the late development of a type of karst. Inside the limestone mountain, often accompanied by development of large and small, interconnected caverns and underground river. Some seemed a huge underground cave hall, hanging from the Dongding cave of stalactites and stalagmites grow upward, relative 11. Marked with a little light, shimmering, truly beautiful, each time during exposure, are tempted to praise Mother Nature.
"English Xifeng forest" located in Kowloon, next runoff, rock back three town area, more than 20 kilometers of roads on both sides,
Can be seen far and near a thousand limestone peaks, is like a corridor, road winding through the meantime, Shi Feng near the size of various shapes and distant peaks of the undulating shades of white, leaving the viewing, King attendant shift, change thousands, visual mess that really do have some interesting. (See Figure ⑵), according to information on, this "peak forest corridor," while there are two big cave: Through days of rock and yang cave, which is known as "the northern part of Guangdong first big holes" and inside the cave deeper, mysterious and unpredictable . However, the visit was not a hole in a throw in mind.
In the "peak forest corridor" opened slowly to the northwest line where more than half an hour away from the town of Rock back 2 kilometers left southwest, 17:07 by Bai Wanzhen, then walked a rather dangerous mountain road, 17 : 30, turn right on State Road 107, the ED also the northwest along the way slope. 17:45 Guo Jiao Chong tunnels, charges 10 yuan. North exit out of the tunnel that is downhill, for up to 5 kilometers and more dangerous slope. 17:57 step by Du Bridge, the bridge said to be "the highest in Asia," the Pier Bridge, Pier 75 meters high. After crossing the big rock in came to a small basin surrounded by mountains, arrived in Yangshan County, 18:08. Lane 9 and a half hours a day.
According to "Map of Guangdong Province" Description Description: "Sui Kaihuang ten years (590 years) set Yangshan County, because there is yang within the rock, before sunrise photos, hence the name." County mostly mountainous limestone dissolution, even the river from northwest to southeast Oblique consistent throughout, the county seat waterfront river, build, north shore of the old city, south of the new city. Since ancient times, here is the northern part of Guangdong and Hunan, Guangxi, between the water and land transportation hub. The Tang dynasty writer Han Yu had worked as a magistrate in Yangshan, left a lot of anecdotes.
We are entering the city, after Guo Lian River Bridge staying in the Old City of Yangshan hotels, guest houses, formerly the county government, after renovation, house prices have doubled, double room 208 yuan, the decoration is very tacky, not value. Also at the hotel restaurant for dinner, and four dishes and one soup 128, taste flat. Now some small town, food and housing soared, an opportunity to fleece tourists, I am afraid not necessarily the road to riches.
Next Morning 8 o'clock get up to the hotel to eat breakfast outside the street of small shops, fried fritters Gapi egg porridge, four a total of 10 yuan. 9:30 away from the Yangshan county, take Provincial Highway 347 southeast, roads, and even the river parallel to, and even the trees Jiang Liangan trip, we saw the other side of the tree reflection in the river, the distant mountains in the hazy mist in the hood, do not have some fun. (See Figure ⑶)
We should have Town, cross the bridge into the water with the south bank of river, all the way to see King Zhigu Moreover there is an outlet of the river bank across the street did not see the bridge, directly open to the Qinglian town, it was found passed, and another U-turn back Shui Hau, ran back and forth more than 20 km. However, even the river side of River, a mismatch of high and low limestone mountains, landscapes form a contrast, beautiful, no wonder there are "Little Guilin" Elegant said, but also live up more than a trip. (See Figure ⑷)
In between the outlet and Qinglian, there is a cement factory, smoky, smell the smell of sulfur, scenic areas such as factory built really too unpleasant. Local rich in limestone, the plant may be a major economic pillar of the county, big profits and taxes. Year plant, he did not develop tourism, and now northern Guangdong became the "Pearl River Delta and back garden", the tourism scenic area to protect the environment, but also the development of local economy, it is a dilemma choice.
10:30 Town, cross the bridge in the water, this is a dangerous bridge, several workers were blocked with concrete bridge piers 2, the left one, large enough only by car. After the bridge, road along the seven-arch River southwest line of great scenery along the route. His wife and daughter walk the section of the road, carrying his camera a quick photo a pass. (See Figure ⑸)
11:05 The seven-arch-sur-fish and water village, the place claiming to be "Guangdong Lijiang River," developed the rafts drift. We have also to "drift" for something and charged 30 yuan per person. Du-step starting point for the bridge pier near the upper reaches, thick bamboo rafts beaten up by 15 at both ends a little Alice, above, put 6 ~ 8 bamboo chair, which is the seat visitors, (see Figure ⑹) two sailors a previous one After stays row, down to a small hydroelectric power stations before landing. Whole river about 3 km, floating row for one hour. Due to river middle and have a hydroelectric dam, water flow is almost stationary, stays entirely human, the top line, you can sit on a bamboo raft leisurely view of landscape, but not thrilling.
After landing, 12:20 to eat dry food comes fill their stomachs. 12:48 to continue the road, 12:50 Step by Du Bridge, on the south side of State Road 107 to the Nankai line. 13:02 JIAO Chong tunnel north exit, pay 10 yuan, but also to the gas station fill the tank, and free car wash. 13:20 and then the road, into the tunnel, 13:23 out of the tunnel, the next 4 km more dangerous slope. 13:35 After yesterday by the White Bay, over the fork in the road, where 73 km away from Qingyuan, 138 kilometers away from Guangzhou. Since then all the way downhill, poor road conditions, cement block a large number of broken pavement, broken, also to see the roadside warning signs, the front section will be "jumping off the tram," It is unheard of! 14:45 Tsunekiyo with a road start, and finally finished the period memorable, "a highway" into the Qingxin City, followed by access to Qingyuan city. 15:00 bridge over the North River, in a quick-service restaurants for lunch, a total of 36 yuan.
3:30 p.m. to the road, take the wide clear a road, 15:48 to Britain and Germany by the fork in the road, 15:55 silver cup over toll booths on the Guang-Qing Highway. 16:16 transfer to Guangzhou Northern Second Ring Expressway, 16:46 by the village fire exit, turn left on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Highway east CDB. 17:48 had fun checkpoints, 17:56 Futian toll had to return the Shenzhen city.
