If you don't go to Zhangjiajie, Guangzhou Lotus Mountain is the best choice.

Lianhua Mountain is located on the banks of the Shiziyang River at the mouth of the Pearl River in Panyu, Guangzhou City. It is one of the eight new scenic spots in Guangzhou. This was originally a quarry, leaving behind many strange stones of various shapes. Lianhua Mountain is mainly composed of 48 low mountains made of red sandstone, which is a relatively hard granite. Among them, there is a lotus-shaped stone on the top of the Qilin Peak, so later generations called this mountain Lianhua Mountain. The natural scenery of the scenic area is like a miniature version of Zhangjiajie. The core attractions of the scenic area are the Guanyin statue facing the sea, the Lotus Tower, the Lotus City and various mountain features. The Guanyin statue is 40.88 meters tall and weighs 12 tons of gilded bronze. It is the largest statue in the world and attracts many believers to come and pray. The scenic area is one of the major AAAA-level national scenic areas and is also a very famous tourist scenic area in Guangzhou. In spring, the mountains here are covered with peach blossoms, and the scenery is beautiful. In summer, you can not only enjoy the lotus flowers, but also enjoy lotus banquets made from lotus seeds, lotus roots, lotus pods, etc., which have a unique flavor. We took the scenic area tour bus from the gate and got off next to the Lotus Tower, then slowly toured along the downhill route. The air feels fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and the body and mind feel relaxed. Lianhua Mountain is indeed a good place for outing and climbing.
