Zhaoqing, Prefecture-level city in western Guangdong, China

The city extends over 14,891 square kilometers along the north bank of the Xi River, surrounded by mountains and dense forests with rice paddies.

The settlement transformed from a county town in the 1st century BCE to a superior prefecture named Zhaoqing in 1118 under Emperor Huizong.

The region maintains active gold mining operations in Gaoyao District, Huaiji County, and Fengkai County, establishing its reputation as Guangdong's gold center.

The transportation network includes eight external ports and national expressways 321 and 324, connecting the city directly to Guangzhou through railways.

Dinghu Mountain within Zhaoqing stands as China's first nature reserve and holds recognition from UNESCO as an international biosphere reserve.
