What to expect

  1. Ancient Quarry of Lotus Mountain
    5h · Admission ticket included
    This mountain may not be tall, but it boasts the most magnificent and exquisite cultural and natural landscapes in Guangzhou. I believe it qualifies to apply for World Cultural Heritage status. Here, you can witness awe-inspiring ancient quarry relics, pay homage to the majestic Guanyin statue, visit a 600-year-old Chinese pagoda, and explore a military ancient city built on the mountaintop. If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of gracefully blooming lotus flowers in various colors.
    In 5 hours, you may only be able to appreciate half of its charm.
  2. Shilou Thousand-year-old Ancient Village
    4h
    Daling Village is a typical ancient village in China. It has a history of over 800 years and preserves a well-preserved Lingnan-style architectural complex of approximately 9,000 square meters. The village is characterized by its large-scale wood carvings in ancestral halls, as well as the presence of gatehouses, archways, stone-paved lanes, ancient trees, and oyster shell walls.
    Within the village, there is an ancient stone bridge spanning the river and an ancient pagoda located in the southwest corner. The village is also home to two significant ancestral halls: "Liuyuan Hall," built during the Southern Song Dynasty, and "Xianzong Shrine," established during the Ming Jiajing period. These halls showcase exquisite architectural craftsmanship and exude a rich cultural atmosphere. Adjacent to the Longjin Bridge is the Dakuige Tower, which stands with elegance and grandeur. Additionally, the village is inhabited by many artisans, bringing new vitality and energy to this ancient village.
