Xiqiao Mountain National Forest Park

Reviewed By Ailton007 - Seattle, United States

National forest park and national geological park with lots of hiking options, gardens (peach, bamboo etc.) and the Buddha as main attraction. Ask before you go on one of the buses which direction, they take different turns sometimes. Great for taking pictures and there's some amazing views as well. We spend roughly 3 hours there but you can easily take a day to visit this attraction!

Shunde Qinghui Park

Reviewed By F1913QYgloriag - Hong Kong, China

This is one of the four most famous gardens in Guangdong. I found everything I could expect from a traditional Chinese garden here. I think it was the early autumn when I visited, and most plants were green. It is not hard to imagine how beautiful the garden will be when most of the flowers bloom in Spring or Summer. I visited on a weekday, so there were some people, not a big crowd. It is relaxing and peaceful. Besides, there are huge kois in the pond, and I guess there are kois all along, so there is a Hui Su (灰塑) of kois on the wall. Vivid and catching. I know Chinese and had mobile data available, so I followed the garden's WeChat account and got some sort of “guided tour” or some more introduction about the architectures and so on. Entrance fee is RMB15. If you are 65 years old or above, you pay RMB7 only (remember to bring some document).

Nanfeng Ancient Kiln

Reviewed By markpN2403RI - Sydney, Australia

Just over an hour by car from Guangzhou, where the site has good parking. The Ceramics and Kiln museums had a nice park behind them as well as numerous shops selling ceramics and pottery. The kiln museum was okay but the ceramics was awesome! You need to allow at least 3 hours to appreciate all the sights and pottery and ceramic displays and making! Well worth the visit!

The Ancestral Temple

Reviewed By tsunaminight

Excellent place. Lots of history and culture to see and experience. Good show of the lion dance. It is located next to two malls with one being called Nova. So, it is in a pretty central area of Foshan. It is also next to a place where you can see lots of small shops and restaurants in and around narrow alleyways. This place is also worth a visit especially at night, so you may visit it after touring the ancestral temple. The entrance for the temple is also not that expensive. It is 20 RMB a person. You can pay by cash, WeChat, or AliPay. You may also be able to pay by card (maybe).
