The scenic spot is very big! Tourist tickets must! Tickets need to be exchanged for physical tickets at the tourist service center and saved as vouchers for transfer in the park. Tickets and tickets are the most cost-effective to buy tickets with Ctrip Traveler members' attractions 21-20 coupons! The most famous Baofeng Temple is the Buddha statue of Guanyin, and there are still many steps to climb up. There is an exhibition room at the bottom of the statue, which mainly introduces the story of Guanyin into Buddha and twelve different forms of Guanyin. Because there is a prohibition on taking pictures on the spot, it is not taken. Tianhu Park is a bit far from Baofeng Temple and is an artificial reservoir.
Xiqiao Mountain is located in the center of the Pearl River Delta. It has many scenic spots and lakes, springs, ripples, rocks, walls, pools and platforms. Xiqiao Mountain Forest is deep moss, lush, cave-wall rock seams, and abundant water storage. The ancients praised it as "who believes in the thousand waterfalls, half moved in Xiqiao". Today it is called a green reservoir and a solid reservoir.
The scenic spot is very big! I feel that the battery car is still necessary, otherwise I will go dead. I entered from the south gate. I went to the south gate station, and I got off the viewing platform (Baofeng Temple) station. There was also a pavilion station on the return trip and the south gate station. I feel that there is still a place for improvement in the direction of the scenic spot. Some instructions have problems, including the schematic diagram next to the scenic spot. For example, Tianhu Park goes to Yiyouting Station. Seeing the schematic diagram gives the feeling that the lake is connected by the walk road, and it is actually necessary to turn over the mountain.
