Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area

Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area is located in the heart of the Pearl River Delta. It is an ancient volcano that lay dormant for tens of millions of years, with its main peak standing over 300 m above sea level. It is often said that "a trip to Lingnan is incomplete without visiting Xiqiao Mountain." As early as over 6,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants quarried stone here to make tools. Archaeologists have ranked this site alongside the Shanxi Emakou site as one of China's two major Neolithic stone tool workshops in the north and south. Thus, Xiqiao Mountain is hailed as the "beacon of Pearl River civilization." During the Ming Dynasty, Confucian scholars such as Zhan Ruoshui and Fang Xianfu established academies here to teach, earning it the title of "renowned mountain of Neo-Confucianism." The layering of prehistoric ruins, ancient quarrying sites, and historical academy relics within a single mountain is a rare cultural depth among Lingnan's famous peaks. The main views along the mountain unfold through peculiar rocks, secluded caves, and mountain lakes. The bronze statue of Guanyin on Daxian Peak stands over 60 m tall, serving as the landmark view of the entire mountain. From the summit, the open vista overlooks vast stretches of mulberry-dyke fishpond landscapes below. Baiyun Cave clusters Ming and Qing dynasty structures like Sanhu Academy, Kuiguang Tower, and Yunquan Immortal Hall alongside cliff carvings. Kang Youwei spent his youth studying here, and the cave's "Thousand-foot waterfall" was listed among the "Eight views of Yangcheng" as early as the Qing dynasty. The ancient quarrying site at Shiyan Rock features deep caverns, with underwater traces of ancestral stone extraction still visible today. Jiulong Rock's massive boulders interconnect through nine passages—bright outside yet dark within—creating a spelunking adventure akin to navigating a spiral shell. Tianhu Lake in the northwest, formed in an ancient volcanic crater, is embraced by emerald peaks on three sides. Since the Ming dynasty, locals have practiced the unique "mid-mountain dragon boat" tradition, and today, dragon boat races still take place on the lake during the Dragon Boat Festival. Xiqiao Mountain is also the hometown of martial arts master Huang Feihong. The Huang Feihong Lion Dance and Martial Arts Hall at the foot of the mountain was built on the original site of the Huang family ancestral temple, regularly featuring lion dance and martial arts performances, serving as a window to experience southern lion dance and kung fu culture. The attraction covers a large area, with sightseeing buses and cable cars connecting various attractions. The cable car links Baiyun Cave and Tianhu Lake, saving energy while offering scenic views. Visitors who prefer walking can follow the hiking trails to explore canyon views like Cuiyan and Shiyan Rock. During flower seasons, attractions like the Square Bamboo Garden, Camellia Garden, and Peach Blossom Garden are also worth visiting along the way.Foshan · 81.1km from Xinxing

The Guo'en Temple, the hometown of the Sixth Patriarch, is free to visit. It is a Zen temple with a long history and ancient simplicity. There are a group of white marble steles, a Baoen Pagoda, and a fragrant lychee tree planted by the Sixth Patriarch. It allows you to learn more about the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. It is definitely worth a visit. It is recommended to drive by yourself or join a tour group. It is not far from Xinxing County.

Guo'en Temple was originally named Bao'en Temple. It was built by Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, to repay his parents for their upbringing. Later, Wu Zetian granted it the name Guo'en Temple. The temple is located at the Dragon Head of Longshan Mountain, and was also called Longshan Temple in ancient times. There is a Tang Dynasty memorial archway in the temple, with the words "First Place" written on it. Next to the temple are the "Parents' Tomb" and the "Bao'en Pagoda" as well as the litchi tree planted by the sixth ancestor Huineng, which has been more than a thousand years old. The first hall in the temple is the "Dharma Guardian Hall", where the Sixth Patriarch's Altar Sutra prayer wheel is turned, and Shenxiu and Fahai are enshrined on the left and right to honor the two for their merits in protecting the sutra. There are five white marble steles behind the Heavenly King Hall. The one in the middle is the imperial edict of Wu Zetian in those days, and the other four inscriptions are written by Liu Zongyuan, Wang Wei, and Liu Yuxi. The temple opens at 8 am, so you don't have to go too early.

I took advantage of the National Day holiday to visit Yunfu Xinxing for four days. I am most satisfied with this resort! The swimming lanes are very comfortable, the environment is very beautiful, and it is ok to take pictures! The hot springs in the scenic area are also very good, and the price-performance ratio is very high! The buffet is also worth recommending, with many varieties, and my daughter is very satisfied!

Jingshan Slide, also known as the Sunset Roller Coaster, winds its way down the mountain from the summit. You can control your speed, feel the wind rushing past your ears, and enjoy panoramic views of Xianglu Bay as you glide – a truly unique experience. The track is well-maintained; the curves are exciting but not too thrilling, making it a great stress reliever for young people. You can take a cable car up the mountain and ride the slide down, combining tranquility and activity for a rich and varied experience.

Xiqiao Mountain is easily accessible and has beautiful scenery. There are many small scenic areas and a spectacular lion dance performance. From the top of the mountain, you can see a panoramic view of the Buddha statue. It was probably a quarry in ancient times, and there are many relics of ancient stone quarrying.

In the afternoon, we visited the provincial museum and happened to catch a free guided tour. The guide's explanation was very professional and detailed, demonstrating a true depth of Van Gogh studies. He shared many touching stories, which were very inspiring. Finally, there was a movie to watch, which the children found very rewarding.
