2026 Gaozhou Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in April)

Seas of bamboo forests, fruit orchards, waterfalls and mountain hikes... Maoming is the the place to visit if you are craving a humble tropical retreat without the crowds—which is not a small luxury when it comes to China! While I probably could have been satisfied eating just lychee everyday, I was also pleased that Maoming is quite good for vegans! Guangdong province is known for fresh ingredients, which was reflected in the abundant vegetable dishes, rice noodles (cheung fun), and tofu. I was also really impressed with the local plums, which are served smashed and sprinkled with chilli salt. Talk about a flavour explosion! Are you adding Maoming to your China bucket list? #china #naturalwonders #maoming #travel #thingstodo

Traveling the World with Youxia (286) Touring Bao Lian An in Gaozhou Bao Lian An is located in Nangongling, South Gate, Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province. It is a religious complex facing Guanshan across the river. The ridge named "Xiao Guanshan" is derived from its comparison to Guanshan. Originally built in the 6th year of the Tianqi era of the Ming Dynasty, it was first called Xuan Zhen Temple. After being rebuilt in the 2nd year of the Yongli era, it was renamed Xuan Yuan Palace, and in the 19th year of the Daoguang era, it was changed to Qingxu Temple. After the fourth renovation in 1982, it was renamed Bao Lian An. The existing structure is a six-story building with a hard mountain roof, including the Mahavira Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Dizang Hall, with beams and eaves decorated with colorful paintings of flowers and birds.

On March 14, 2026, Xianren Cave Scenic Area held the opening ceremony of the "Hepatica Flower and Hanfu Huachao Festival," which will continue until mid-April.

If you come to Gaozhou City, Maoming, Guangdong, there's a temple you absolutely must visit‼️ This temple is the Temple of Lady Xian — the largest and highest-ranking memorial building for Lady Xian (Lady Qiaoguo) in western Guangdong. Lady Xian was hailed by Premier Zhou Enlai as "China's foremost female hero" and is respectfully known as "Mother of Lingnan" among the folk in Lingnan.‌‌ Lady Xian (512-602 AD), a native of Gaozhou, was born into a family of Nanyue leaders. She lived through the Liang, Chen, and Sui dynasties, led troops to suppress rebellions multiple times, safeguarding national unity, and was enfeoffed by successive imperial dynasties. 🌈Highlights: ✅The Temple of Lady Xian was first built in the second year of Renshou, Sui Dynasty (602 AD). In the 14th year of Jiajing, Ming Dynasty (1535 AD), it was moved south to its current location along with the Gaozhou Prefecture administration. It has been renovated multiple times since, featuring a three-axis, four-courtyard layout. Along the central axis are the front gate, middle hall, main hall, and Fenggong Ancestral Hall (rear hall). With a total construction area of over 3000 square meters, it is magnificent. ✅The architecture features red walls and green tiles, with dougong brackets and upturned eaves. The ridge is adorned with gray sculptures such as "two dragons playing with a pearl" and "ao fish," symbolizing warding off evil, ensuring safety, and achieving excellence. It is a typical Ming and Qing Lingnan style, with decorations including various art forms like colorful paintings, wood carvings, stone carvings, and pottery sculptures. ‌✅The temple preserves nearly a hundred Ming and Qing dynasty murals, a stele inscription of "Records of Lady Xian," an imperial plaque inscribed with "Ciyou" (Benevolent Protection) bestowed by Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, as well as precious cultural relics like a jade censer and bronze drums. There are also plaques inscribed by famous figures such as Zhao Puchu and Fei Xiaotong. ✅Lady Xian's spirit of "only using a good heart" has been passed down for thousands of years, forming the Lady Xian belief system. Commemorative customs such as "Nianli" and "Junpo Festival" are widely observed in various places. In 2014, the Lady Xian belief system was included in the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage. 🎫Admission: Free 🚗Transportation: Accessible by Gaozhou Bus Route 8 or 13; navigate🧭 by self-driving, there is a paid parking lot at the scenic area.
