Guanyin Mountain Wangshan Temple Scenic Area is located about 8 kilometers northwest of Fogang County, Qingyuan City. Guanyin Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, maintaining the original forest ecological environment. It is one of the eight famous mountains in Guangdong and a famous Buddhist mountain. The entire scenic area is high and forested. Because its mountain shape is like a reclining statue of Guanyin, both the spirit and the body are present, it is named Guanyin Mountain. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, Guanyin Mountain Wangshan Temple has been a place of worship for countless Buddhist men and women.
There are currently 238 species of animals and 1,143 species of plants in the forests of Guanyin Mountain, including endangered animals such as clouded leopards, pythons, and pangolins, as well as ancient plants that began in the Jurassic period, and the tree Alsophila, known as a "living fossil", is one of the largest natural subtropical biological gene banks in my country.
The Wangshan Temple that pilgrims can see now was rebuilt on a site selected after it was destroyed in war. In the middle of the square of Wangshan Temple, there is a four-sided thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Guanyin statue made of pure gold, about 4.8 meters high. It was collectively consecrated by 108 eminent monks and can be called the treasure of the temple.
