I declare that Qingyuan absolutely deserves to be called the "Little Three Gorges" of Guangdong.

⛰️ This is Baimiao Fishing Village, located in Qingyuan in northern Guangdong. It's a small fishing village on the lower reaches of the Beijiang River, also known as the "19th Blessed Land Under Heaven," and a great place to savor Beijiang River seafood.
⚓️ Baimiao is a cultural district transformed from a fishing village. As you step into Baimiao, the aroma of fish welcomes you to the start of your Little Three Gorges journey. Purchase tickets at the boat ticket office in the parking lot 🅿️, and then a staff member will guide you to the boat.
⛩️ Feilai Temple is one of the major attractions. It boasts a unique style described as "ancient, vast, beautiful, and wondrous." In the first year of the Putong era during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, Zhenjun of Yingchuan and Chan Master Ling'ai left Shangyuan Yanzhuo Temple in Shuzhou (present-day Anhui) and came to Xiashan to oversee the construction of the temple. The temple was completed and consecrated on the 18th day of the 10th lunar month of that year. Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, personally inscribed the words "zhide" (supreme virtue) and bestowed it as the temple's plaque. Initially, it was called "Zhide Temple," but it's also known as Feilai Temple. It's a great place to burn incense and pray for blessings.
🌋 After visiting Feilai Temple, ascend the steps next to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to reach the "19th Blessed Land" archway. The climb takes about 10 minutes. The mountain isn't high, but from the top, you can overlook the Beijiang River winding through the mountain gorges on both sides, a view reminiscent of the "San Xia Zhi Dian."
