It is known as the "Artificial Danxia" and is also called the Guangzhou version of the Zhangjiajie Giant Stone Cliff Forest. There is a pavilion at the top where you can rest and overlook the entire quarry. It is very magnificent. 2⃣️Lion Rock: It is named for its resemblance to a lion and its location facing the Shiziyang River. Walk forward to reach the ancient quarry. 3⃣️Swallow Rock: Swallows circle the cliffs, which may be why it is called Swallow Rock. 4⃣️Lotus Temple: A three-story temple where you can offer incense and flowers at the entrance.

(But I didn't visit it) 📃Personal review: As soon as I got off the car, an aunt chased me to buy flowers, which turned out to be for offering incense at the Lotus Temple. After entering the gate, walk for two minutes to the sightseeing car boarding point, CNY 10/person, which will stop near the Lotus Tower. It takes about 4–5 hours to visit the entire scenic area. It is best to bring water, mosquito repellent, a small fan, sunscreen, and an umbrella. There is a shop in the scenic area called Honey Bar (p4), which sells drinks and snacks at reasonable prices. There are many boxes of bees🐝 in front of the shop, so the honey should be genuine.
