We had a great day out at Lotus Mountain Scenic area, the weather was perfect and we got at least 15,000 steps in walking around all of the things to see. The Swallow cliffs and ancient quarry were amazing and vertigo inducing if you are scared of heights. After the cliffs we walked up to the large temple and over to this beautiful tall pagoda. There were lots of year of the rabbit decorations around and lots of flowers and plants.

The Lianhua Mountain Scenic zone was way bigger and more impressive than we were expecting. It cost 40 Rmb for entry and we walked around instead of taking the bus for 10 rmb. The ancient quarry area was spectacular and unlike anything ive seen. The quarry has been used for over 2000 years to provide stone fror nearby important Panyu buildings. The shapes cut into the rock give it a really cool look.

Lotus Mountain or Lianhuashan, 莲花山, is the site of an ancient quarry in Panyu, Guangzhou. Stone was cut from the imposing cliffs here for centuries but it is now a garden. There is also a Qing Dynasty fort, as this was a strategic point guarding the Pearl River and the approach to Guangzhou; ultimately the detachment here failed to stop the British from sailing up river and sacking the capital. The fort includes a stone labyrinth that was used for troop training. With the Qing guards gone, the river is now watched over by a huge golden statue of Guanyin. Finally there's a pagoda which you can climb to the top of, unlike most others in Guangzhou. Lianhuashan is a peaceful place to spend a day in Guangzhou. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #springblossoms #garden #park #lotus #guangzhou #guangdong #panyu #relaxing #photography

Lotus Mountain, also known as Lianhua Shan, is home to the largest statue of the Bodhisattva Guanyin in Guangzhou. This trip is truly worthwhile. It is a historical and cultural tourist destination located on a mountain, renowned for its unique landscape of jagged rock formations shaped by past mining activities. The site also features ancient religious structures, such as the Lianhua Pagoda (Lotus Pagoda) built during the Ming Dynasty, and the massive statue of Guanyin atop the mountain. 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: The atmosphere is excellent, with a cool and refreshing breeze. How to get there: From downtown Guangzhou, take Metro Line 3 (Orange Line) to Panyu Square Station, then transfer to Bus No. 93 and get off at Lianhuashan stop.

History of Lotus Mountain #Lianhuashan Lotus Mountain, Lianhuashan, was once one of the two oldest mining sites in China. Mining began in the Han Dynasty, more than two thousand years ago. As a result of the long mining period, many caves were dug into the mountain, causing the mountain area to have many angular shapes. The religious buildings built on the mountain began to be built at the same time as the city was built in the Qing Dynasty, around 1600 onwards. Since this mountain is considered an excellent strategic location, in the past, military camps, forts, and walls were built on the mountain, which can still be seen today. The name of Lotus Mountain comes from a story that long ago, there was an evil dragon living in the South China Sea. This dragon created huge waves that swept to the shore at the mouth of the Pearl River in Guangzhou, causing countless damage to the villagers' fields and fishing boats. Then one day, Guanyin passed by this area and threw a lotus pedestal into the water to control the evil dragon. People believed that the lotus pedestal turned into a lotus stone on the mountain, leading to the mountain being named Lotus Mountain. We can travel by calling DiDi car, convenient, pin the location to pick up and drop off, travel time is about 1 hour 10 minutes. How to travel MRT: From Guangzhou city, take the subway line 3 (orange) to Panyu Square station, then take bus number 93 to get off at Lianhuashan stop.

❤In the digital temple of Nanhai Guanyin, young people holding electronic incense are experiencing a dual pilgrimage. They both burn incense in the cloud and seek divine guidance among server clusters—behind the QR code for fortune slips, AI algorithms calculate with million-times-per-second probability, translating thousand-year-old oracle texts into contemporary survival guides. ❤The algorithmic fortune interpretation system devours a database of hundreds of thousands of oracle poems, breaking down the imagery through natural language processing, then combines the user's geographic location, social media profile, and even fitness tracker data to generate modern prophecies like "Career favors defense over offense" or "Romance will begin from the northwest." The AI manifestation of the cloud-based Guanyin reveals a cyborg smile amid the data streams. ❤Young worshippers complete their digital fasting while tapping on electronic wooden fish apps, both devoutly sharing their AI fortune interpretations to social media and playfully discussing the "enlightenment progress" of large language models. This dissociative faith unique to digital natives resembles maintaining both devotion and doubt simultaneously in a quantum state. ❤As ancient divination dons the robes of neural networks, cyber pilgrims replace full prostration with finger swipes. The ultimate mysticism of the algorithmic age may be this: we both deconstruct mystery through code and rebuild new temples on silicon chips. Travel Guide: I.

This place perfectly displays the wonderful combination of history and nature, and the unique landforms are very photogenic! 🌟Tips 🔸Be sure to prepare sunscreen and sun hats, and remember to protect yourself from the sun and drink water and cool down in time during outdoor activities. 🔸There are many mountain tofu, snack stalls, and vegetarian restaurants on the mountain.

Morning →Lotus Mountain Visiting Lotus Mountain in spring is a must-do activity for Guangzhou locals. With its beautiful environment and fresh air, you can pray to the Sea-Facing Guanyin statue for blessings. It's a perfect spot for family outings. Afternoon About 4.7km from Lotus Mountain→Chisong Palace: A trending Taoist temple famous for its "success" blessings. Besides the Dragon King Hall and Tai Sui Hall, don't miss the Constellation Hall! For the first time, you can discover your zodiac deity and get your own digital constellation talisman for 18 yuan (perfect for phone wallpaper). You can also see blessing messages projected behind your constellation deity - the emotional value is off the charts. About 1km from Chisong Palace→Daling Ancient Village: A 900-year-old village that produced many imperial scholars, candidates who passed provincial examinations, and officials ranked ninth grade or higher - truly a village of "academic stars." The village environment is serene, featuring not only distinctive Lingnan-style oyster shell houses but also many well-preserved ancestral halls and gate towers. Taking a stroll through the village, you can feel the spiritual energy all around you.

📍Itinerary Introduction Two-day and one-night family tour itinerary: Day 1 ⭐️ Nansha Coco Park➡️Nansha Garden Hotel➡️Nansha Lantern Festival After lunch at 13:30 (Internet celebrity restaurant: Da_Yuan_, 💰average consumption: $160, it is recommended to avoid it), before hotel check-in time, we went to Coco Park, a large shopping mall in Nansha. It is good for shopping and suitable for all ages. The children went to the City Code claw machine for $99 and got 500 coins. They were so happy! The elders like to stroll around the supermarket, and the ladies want to buy skin care products and the like. There is a big Leshaer in the mall, and the prices will definitely satisfy everyone! At 16:00, we checked in at the Garden Hotel. The hotel is very good, with five-star facilities and services, which are worth the price. It is a choice you will not regret if you bring your kids to stay here! The hotel playground allows parents to free their hands. If you have time, the swimming pool is also worth playing. It's a pity that the weather was bad this time, so we didn't experience the swimming pool, but we also filled the rare large bathtub in the room with water for the children to play. For dinner, we went to Cui Zhou Yuan - Fisherman's Family, which has a high rating nearby (💰average consumption per person: $125). We recommend the river prawns. The sunflower chicken was not as delicious as we expected, but the rest was just okay. If you don’t want to leave the hotel to find food, it is recommended to book a table for the hotel’s buffet dinner in advance to save the trouble of a large family running around. 19:30 Return to the hotel to buy tickets for the Nansha Lantern Festival. The price is much more affordable than buying it yourself, which proves once again that the Garden Hotel is the right choice for watching the Lantern Festival. The lantern festival can be seen until 11:00 on weekends. It is worth seeing, but it is really too big. Our family with children and elders did not finish the tour. We walked to the part where we wanted to see the Goddess with Flowers in Her Hair and took the electric car ($10/adult) back to the entrance. Day 2 ⭐️ Lianhuashan Tourist Area➡️Zhuhai Sam’s➡️White Head Vine Seafood Market Once a year people go to Lotus Mountain to worship Guanyin. The temple is very large, but those who don’t want to worship Guanyin can go there as a picnic and breathe some fresh air. There is a Dongcuiyuan lunch restaurant nearby (💰average consumption: $90). If you don’t expect good service but only want good taste, you can give it a try. The taste is very good. The next stop was to Zhuhai Sam's Club to satisfy the shopping desires of the whole family. Although there were many people shopping, payment was still very fast. The last dinner was booked at the famous Psoralea corylifolia seafood market. It was the first time a friend took me there, and we chose Yingjie Restaurant (💰average consumption: $125). The atmosphere was so good. We settled the elders and children in the restaurant, and sent a few buyers to buy seafood for processing in the restaurant. The price and taste were very satisfactory! The trip ends here and everyone can return home with a full load! 🚇Transportation: Self-driving 📷Shadow Phase: Nansha Lantern Festival 🍜Special food: Nansha river shrimp 🏠Accommodation recommendation: Guangzhou Nansha Garden Hotel 💡Notes: 1) Both people and cars need to pay for tickets to the Lotus Mountain Scenic Area 2) The Lantern Festival is only open until March 31 3) Sam's Club membership card 4) It is best to park your car in front of the selected restaurant, otherwise some restaurants will not allow non-diners to park. 5) There are many tour groups staying in the hotel, most of whom eat buffet meals in the hotel, so if you want to have a buffet dinner, it is recommended to make reservations in advance.
