🌟Friends, Guanyin Mountain is really a great place for a one-day trip! From the tranquil Buddhist holy land to the exciting adventure projects, to the dreamy ice and snow world, every moment is full of surprises and fun! Let me share with you my one-day tour guide to Guanyin Mountain! 🎉 I drove directly to Guanyin Temple early in the morning. The tranquility and solemnity here really make people feel awe. Between the yellow tiles and red walls, the incense is flourishing. I prayed devoutly for my family, hoping that my sincerity would work. The magnificent buildings in front of the Main Hall and the colorful decorations of the Heavenly King Hall are really beautiful. It is definitely a good place to take pictures and check in! Everyone must visit the various halls in the temple, worship one by one, and feel the profoundness of Buddhist culture!
Guanyin Mountain Tourist Scenic Area is really an amazing resort. Stepping into it, it seems to have entered the natural green kingdom, with a forest coverage rate of more than 92%, making it a veritable forest oxygen bar, and every breath is full of freshness. The streams in the mountains are gurgling, the birds are crisp, like a wonderful movement played by nature. The 33-meter-high granite rock carved Guanyin icon on the top of the mountain is solemn and awe-inspiring. The surrounding temples are fragrant, the Sanskrit sound is full of waves, and the Buddhist cultural atmosphere is strong. There are many fun projects here, the net red flying sky Weiya let you experience the excitement of flying in the air, forest slides, high-altitude zipline full of fun. In addition, the infrastructure of the scenic spot is complete, and the staff are warm and thoughtful. Whether it is a parent-child trip, a couple date or a relaxing alone, you can find your own happiness and tranquility here. It is a very worth visiting.

It's not bad, you can go and have a look, but it's not big, I finished it in less than an hour. It should be better to go during the day, some shops are closed at night. There are performances and singing at night, and the parking lot there is a bit tight, so be careful.
Stepping into the ancient village of Nanshe from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it feels like traveling through time and space. The bluestone road winds forward, with ancestral halls and ancient houses lined up one after another, and the carved beams and painted buildings show the simple charm of the years. The upturned corners and flying eaves tell the prosperity of the past, and the details of gray sculptures, wood carvings, etc. are exquisitely crafted, which makes people marvel at the ingenuity of the ancients. The village is surrounded by clear water, weeping willows, and the white walls and black tiles are set off, just like an ink painting. Strolling around, listening to the guide telling family stories and historical legends, you can truly feel the profound heritage of Lingnan culture, as if you can touch the atmosphere of fireworks in the past, and you will be intoxicated by this quiet and distant ancient charm and reluctant to leave.

If you go there on May Day, you must exchange paper tickets, otherwise the items you play cannot be written off. The environment of the scenic spot is good, it is quite clean, the staff are polite, and the service is good. The scenery during the day is average, and it is better to play at night. It is recommended to go in the afternoon or at night. However, if you want to play items, it is recommended to go earlier in the morning. There are fewer people and basically no need to queue. After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there are many people. Many items have to wait in line for a long time. I bought a full set of tickets and went with my family. Many items are not allowed for children to play. They are not high enough and are more dangerous. There are few motorized items for children to play. There are super many people at night. You can watch performances, light tube shows, and other things to play. You can basically play all day long. Overall, it is okay and worth recommending.
When I first came here, I felt a sense of history: there are many check-in spots inside, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in the ocean of photography; in terms of entertainment and performances, the Phantom Secret Realm and the large-scale stage play Lin Zexu are the most impressive! The only thing that needs to be improved is the snacks in the food court, which are of poor quality and affect the overall impression of the villa. In addition, the parking fee for foreign tourists is also high, nearly 8 yuan/hour... I hope the management can pay attention and improve it!
