Located in Panyu, Guangzhou, Lotus Hill has a 40-meter-high Sea-watching Guanyin, a Great Buddha's Hall, a lotus pond, ancient city walls, a lotus tower, an ancient quarry, a lotus fairyland, a swallow rock, and a children's playground... There are also many parking lots inside, with everything from photo-taking, praying, wishing, parent-child, barbecue, and it's also quite big, you can stroll around for most of the day. How to get there Navigation location: Top parking lot of Lotus Hill in Panyu, Guangzhou (10r) Subway Line 4 Shiqi Subway A Exit - Transfer to Panyu 92 Road, Panyu 93 Road You can also take a tour bus per person (10R) Ticket: 54R for adults, half price for children/students/elderly Opening hours: 7:00-17:00, stop admission at 5 pm 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!
