Must-see attractions
1️⃣Sea-watching Guanyin, Lotus Zen Temple
The 40-meter-high Guanyin statue sits facing south, with the South Sea in front of her, hence the name 'Sea-watching Guanyin'. Over the years, it has been protecting and deterring waves for Guangzhou and even the Greater Bay Area! Next to the Guanyin statue is a three-story high Guanyin Zen Temple, which houses many statues. You can also climb up to enjoy the beautiful scenery!
2️⃣The ancient quarry, as spectacular as Zhangjiajie
This quarry has been in use since the Qin and Han dynasties, with at least 2,000 years of history. Because of its unique stone quality suitable for construction, it has been quarried here over the years. At the same time, the red sandstone landscape is rare in Lingnan. After being collected, it forms large blocks of cut stone walls. The giant stone walls also have many famous poems and ancient sentences. The scene is spectacular. Looking down from a high place, it's like a scene from Zhangjiajie.
3️⃣The beautiful and picturesque Lotus Fairyland
Walking past the quarry, you will come across a lotus pond. Here, hundreds of varieties of lotus are planted. Some lotus flowers are still blooming. Against the green water, it is really beautiful. It's amazing how beautiful Guangzhou's winter is!
4️⃣Lotus City
Built in the third year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, it is a product of the 'sea ban' during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It looks like a Great Wall, with city walls 10 meters high. Standing on the city wall, you can overlook the entire port. Lotus City and the Guanyin statue echo each other, forming a beautiful landscape of Lotus Hill!
5️⃣The Great Buddha's Hall
The majestic Great Buddha's Hall houses many statues. Here you can burn incense and pray for blessings. The temple can offer incense, the cost is optional, and you can also overlook the scenery. The geographical location here is excellent, not far from the Pearl River, with beautiful scenery!
This trip to Lotus Mountain gave us a lot of surprises. The park is very large, and we only turned to take up part of it, but enough to have a lot of pleasure. Because of the unique southern climate, the vegetation is very dense, especially the various flowers that have not been seen, which gave us enough surprises. The kids and the old guys are having fun.
The tour of Lotus Mountain gave us a lot of unexpected surprises. The scenic spot is very large and the landscape is very rich. The unique weather in the south, the plants are dense, the flowers are beautiful, and there are many unnamed flowers, egg flowers and the like, which are particularly beautiful. The Guanyin video is even more spectacular, and the elderly and children are also very happy to play.
The scenic spot is very good, very close to home, almost go home for the Spring Festival, I have to go to the first day of work in the company, the manager of the whole factory together, pray for the company and all employees!
Come to the Lotus Mountain Scenic Area on May 1st, the environment is very good, the air is fresh, and the management is very good. The last time I came on May 1st in 2016, after 18 years, I felt better than before. I saw the Nantianmen, Lotus Stone, Lotus Waterfall, Lotus Wonderland, Lotus Temple, Yilian Lake, Lotus Tower, Lotus City and other Lotus-themed attractions. A worthwhile trip, worth seeing.
Not bad, I went to visit the sea on the fifth day of the year, and then went to the resort's Yujing Pavilion to eat fast food, great. From Wanghai Guanyin down to Lion Rock, there are relatively few people here, the scenery is unique, and then from another road up, you can see the Flying Eagle Tunnel and Flying Eagle Cliff, and you can see the Lotus City when you go up, and then return to the Lotus Tower. Worship God and see the scenery, but also achieve sports, perfect day.
Guangzhou Lianhua Mountain is a beautiful and mysterious place, which makes people sigh the magic of nature. Here are some posterior feelings: ● Natural scenery: the scenic area is full of cliffs, the stone forest is towering, and the smooth cut surface is like artificial carving. Walking at the bottom of the stone forest and looking up, the cliffs on all sides face off, the broad sky is shrinking into a patio, and the surrounding boulders are crumbling, which is amazing. In addition, there is a beautiful lotus pond in the scenic area, where the lotus flowers are in full bloom and beautiful. ● Human history: The origin of Lotus Mountain is also quite mythical. It is rumored that a long time ago, the Bodhisattva of Guanshiyin in the South China Sea threw the lotus flowers into the river to suppress the dragon. This lotus flower has since become a boulder, becoming the lotus stone of the southern Tianmen of Lotus Mountain. In general, Guangzhou Lianhua Mountain is a worth visiting attraction, not only can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, but also feel its deep historical and cultural heritage.
