Driven mad by questions! Everyone thought I went to the Forbidden City in Beijing

Golden roof tiles, red walls, carved beams and painted rafters, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the cloud-topped corridors... Who would have thought that hidden deep in the mountains of Dongguan, on the outskirts of Guangzhou, there lies such a magnificent and spectacular 'Palace in the Sky' - a new destination for New Year blessings and outings! Right next to it, there's also a stunning hiking trail Where you can breathe fresh air and enjoy the beautiful sunset over the tea gardens This is the Guanyin Temple in Dalingshan, Dongguan It has a history of over 300 years From the entrance to the top, it's as high as 19 floors, which is quite astonishing (You can take the elevator to the top for a painless blessing) .Travel Tips ■ It's recommended to drive up the mountain; there's a parking lot next to the entrance of Guanyin Temple, but on holidays the area is crowded with people and cars, so it's best to go early; for those taking a taxi, it's easy to get there, but the return trip might require taking a motorcycle down the mountain. If you want to take photos for social media, head straight to the highest point at the Sutra Depository and shoot downwards, the model on the corridor of the Guanyin Pavilion is especially photogenic ■ For those who want to hike, it's recommended to reserve an extra 3 hours; after visiting the Guanyin Temple, enter the Dalingshan mini loop from the Stone Cave City Tower next to it. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by streams and green trees, and there's a tea garden on the mountain top, where the sunset is absolutely beautiful . From 11:00-14:00 at noon, there's a vegetarian buffet in the dining hall, 25/person
