Guiping Xishan Scenic Area in Guangxi

1. It is a 4A-level scenic spot, famous for its beautiful scenery and as a holy land of Buddhism, known as the 'Foremost Beauty under the Southern Sky'. 2. Guiping Xishan, one of the famous seven Xishans in China, is also known as Siling Mountain. It is named for its location 1 kilometer west of Guiping city. Since the establishment of Guiping County in the Southern Liang Dynasty, it has gradually become a tourist attraction. 3. There is a saying, 'Guilin's landscape tops those elsewhere, but Xuncheng's half-side mountain is even more unique.' The mountain is filled with ancient trees reaching the sky, sweet springs, bizarre rocks, and winding stone paths. Guiping Xishan is famous for its 'unique rocks, beautiful trees, sweet springs, and fragrant tea', with rugged peaks and hundreds of cubic meters of huge rocks scattered among the forests, shaded by greenery and towering ancient trees, forming a magnificent view. 4. Xishan has a long cultural and historical heritage, with architectural relics such as Li Gong Ci, Xishi An, Longhua Temple, Ruquan Pavilion, and Feige. It preserves the relatively intact Guangxi Buddhist architecture 'Xishi An', and has been praised by generations of literati for more than four thousand poems and couplets about Xishan. Xishan tea is famous far and wide for its refreshing and delicious taste, and is sold to various places. The sweet springs have always been acclaimed by people throughout history.
