We had a great day out at Lotus Mountain Scenic area, the weather was perfect and we got at least 15,000 steps in walking around all of the things to see. The Swallow cliffs and ancient quarry were amazing and vertigo inducing if you are scared of heights. After the cliffs we walked up to the large temple and over to this beautiful tall pagoda. There were lots of year of the rabbit decorations around and lots of flowers and plants.

This time we are going to introduce the Lotus Mountain Tourist Area located in Panyu, Guangzhou. The tourist area is very large. In addition to hiking and enjoying the scenery of the park, there are also temples in the park to worship. But this is a fee-based park, with adult tickets costing about HK$50 and children half price. The most impressive thing about the whole park is that each mountain has petroglyphs and inscriptions. #OverseasTravel #Outdoor Good Places

Lotus Mountain or Lianhuashan, 莲花山, is the site of an ancient quarry in Panyu, Guangzhou. Stone was cut from the imposing cliffs here for centuries but it is now a garden. There is also a Qing Dynasty fort, as this was a strategic point guarding the Pearl River and the approach to Guangzhou; ultimately the detachment here failed to stop the British from sailing up river and sacking the capital. The fort includes a stone labyrinth that was used for troop training. With the Qing guards gone, the river is now watched over by a huge golden statue of Guanyin. Finally there's a pagoda which you can climb to the top of, unlike most others in Guangzhou. Lianhuashan is a peaceful place to spend a day in Guangzhou. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #springblossoms #garden #park #lotus #guangzhou #guangdong #panyu #relaxing #photography

#Guangzhou Attractions As an international metropolis, Guangzhou has many attractions with strong religious themes. In addition to the Big Buddha Temple and Guangxiao Temple, Lotus Mountain in Shilou Town, Panyu District is also one of the famous Buddhist attractions in Guangzhou. The scenic Lianhuashan Tourist Area is a "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit" and one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Guangzhou in the New Century - Lotus Peak Viewing the Sea". Living in this mortal world, it is rare for me to visit the Lotus Mountain Tourist Area, so of course I have to step into the Lotus Zen Temple to experience the tranquility of Buddhism. Many tourists burn incense and worship Buddha in the temple. Even if you are not a Buddhist, you can still quietly appreciate the Chinese Buddhist statues in the temple and feel the religious atmosphere. After visiting the Zen temple, you can go to a vegetarian restaurant to taste delicious vegetarian dishes. There used to be a quarry on Lianhua Mountain. If you visit the Lianhua Mountain Tourist Area now, you can see with your own eyes the ruins of the ancient Lianhua Mountain quarry, which has a history of more than 2,000 years. If you are not too interested in religion, you can check out the flowers and historical sites at Lotus Hill. In summary, Guangzhou Lotus Hill is a tourist attraction that is very worth visiting. I firmly believe that whether you are a Buddhist or not, you will be able to spend an unforgettable and wonderful time in the Lotus Mountain Tourist Area.

The profile picture on my Trip.com homepage was taken in front of the Guanyin statue on Lotus Hill. I checked my album in the afternoon and found that it was taken 10 years ago. Memories suddenly came flooding back: I miss the beautiful ladies who waited with me at Lotus Hill at 4 or 5 am to watch the sunrise!

Named for its unique shape resembling a blooming lotus flower, this hill is not very high but is renowned for its beautiful natural scenery and rich historical and cultural background, making it a famous attraction in Guangzhou.

Lianhuacheng Ruins are located in Shilou Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou. In June of the third year of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1664), the Qing Dynasty built it as a sentry post to prevent people from going to sea. During the Opium War, Qishan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Elliot, the British representative, secretly discussed the "Aftermath Regulations" ("Chuanbi Convention") here. In the fourth year of the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1854), the Red Turban Army stationed here. Lianhuacheng covers an area of about 10,207 square meters and is in an irregular oval shape. There are stone arch gates in the north and south, and the walls are built with blue bricks inside and outside. There are remains of piers, barracks, and stables in the city. It is a cultural relic protection unit in Guangdong Province. Lianhuacheng is a relic of the "sea ban" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a history of nearly 400 years. During the Opium War, Lianhuacheng witnessed the important history of British invaders invading and blackmailing Hong Kong. According to the "Panyu County Chronicle", on January 26, 1841, the British army occupied Hong Kong, and on January 27, Yi Lu forced Qishan to admit and sign an agreement in Lianhuacheng, but Qishan did not dare to agree. In August 1842, the Qing government was forced to sign the humiliating "Treaty of Nanking". Hong Kong was officially ceded. As the first negotiation point for the cession of Hong Kong, it recorded the history of the British occupation and extortion of Hong Kong. Today, Lianhuacheng has become an important research and practice base for primary and secondary school students in Guangdong Province. Lianhuacheng is located on the second peak of Lianhua Mountain. The plane of the city is slightly oval, with an area of about 1,400 square meters. The city wall is based on stone, built with blue bricks inside and outside, and filled with soil in the middle. It is 5.66 meters high and 2.34 meters thick. There are crenels and horse paths on the city wall for observation and patrol, and there are stone arch gates on the south and north sides. There were piers, barracks, and stables in the city, and there were beacon piers and 20 gun positions outside the city, which have now been submerged. Lianhuacheng is a historical witness of the coastal defense fortress and the Opium War in the Qing Dynasty.
