Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area

西樵山风景名胜区

Low cost performance, the mountain attractions are scattered, there are cars, but take time. But there are several places under the mountain that are good, with Lingnan characteristics

Xiqiao Mountain, located in Xiqiao Town in the southwest of Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, is located in the heart of the Pearl River Delta with an area of 14 square kilometers. It is known as the "Nanqiao Lixue Famous Mountain" and "Nanshi Birthplace, Huang Feihong Hometown". It is a national scenic spot, a national 5A level tourist attraction. The National Forest Park and National Geopark, which carry the Lingnan culture, are called "the lighthouse of the Pearl River civilization" by archaeologists. Xiqiao Mountain is an ancient volcano of 346 meters above sea level. It is a large mountain with a lotus petal shaped like a lotus petal. The diameter of the mountain is 4 kilometers, the circumference is 13 kilometers, and the area is 14 square kilometers. "There are 16 caves, 232 springs, 28 waterfalls in the whole mountain. "The flow of the sky is 1000 feet" and "the cloud rock falls" are the most spectacular. There are 3 "Tianhu" on the top of the mountain. There are many kinds of animals and plants, the climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. It is a good place to watch the sea of clouds, the sunrise and the summer resort, and also a good place to study geosciences.

If you are a traveler and looking for something Raw then this ain’t your place to go. If you are a couple/family and wish to spend safe and quality time in between the nature then you must visit the place. The mountain is so beautifully carved and designed by man that it looks like so real natural. Entry fee is around RMB200 and is worth visiting once. The buddha’s big statue distributes the positive vibes in the whole mountain and you feel like staying there forever.

A lovely walk up Xiqiao mountain through forests and temples that takes a few hours from top to bottom. There is also the option of taking an electric bus most of the way up. Xiqiao Mountain is divided into ten major scenic areas including the Nanhai Guanyin Culture Park, which contains a 66m statue of the goddess Guanyin, Baiyun caves, and Baofeng temple. A must if you visit Foshan.

This is my 4th time here. I really like this place. I feel its very peaceful. A great place for photography and clearing your mind. The main attraction is the very large statue but there are several other things to see.

Wildlife, cultural relics, religious center and natural geological museum. This is how the Xiqiao Shan area could be characterized. Worth to visit, no doubt. The area itself includes many different scenic spots and unique geological formations. Gardens make you feel high thanks to the strong flower smell. Goddess Guanying watching every one climbing steps on the way to her lotus shaped throne is spectacular view. Plan whole day from early morning to the evening. This wonderful journey requires a lot of walking and climbing.

I've been to the Mountain twice and I loved it both times. The cable cars provide you with a beautiful view of the Xiqiao area at large. There are restaurants around and lots to see and enjoy. A great way to unwind.
