Qi Ao Dao is also a great

Qi Ao Dao is also a great place to buy honey... Look out for tents and beehives on the side of the road after the village. The honey will be extracted right before your eyes when you buy it. You can't get honey purer than that!

"Qi Ao Island is within the inner west of Zhujiang. The Qi Ao Island is an ecology island. The mountains are a luxuriant green, the water is clear, the air is fresh and the environment is quiet. You will have a leisure and carefree mood by looking at the waves and shores upon entering the seashore from the city centre. The White Stone Street was constructed more than 100 years ago. In 1833, the Qi Ao Island inhabitants resisted invasion of the England people and won the war. The road was built with the silver compensation from the invasion of English armed force.
