Way back over 20 years ago, we took a taxi to see an exhibition on Chinese sex culture in Shanghai. It was a hard fine and the rewards was not satisfactory. I recall that the exhibition displayed everything and mainly highlights how ancient people indulges in erotica. Now the tour bus took us directly to the entrance of another sex museum in Shaoguan. The ticket office was closed but there are tickets sold at a nearby table - 35 RMB. But not again!
After lunch, the tour guide led us to the Mountains where he said a big male sex organ is displayed. As we took the cable car up to the viewing gallery, we expected to see something like the grandfather's rock of Koh Samui! The day was cloudy and darken by drops of rain. So the sight of the mountain rocks said to be very brownish and beautiful was not clear especially when they are covered by the mist.
Our next stop was the highlight of the trip - the male sex organ rock. As we walked the road leading to the mountain, we saw some pomelo trees which fruited trumpet-like fruits! A farmer was selling some farm produce.. Then there it was, the big P...beside a mountain. This one looks so real that we thought it was carved out from the rock by an artist. And the model who exhibits his 'thing' must be a man in great demand! Wow! So big, a woman exclaim! And a nice one too!, hehehe!
Besides the sex organ rock, we could not see any other interesting sceneries. There is a brown water river which meanders across the Mountains. Many queued to take the ride - maybe next time!

A nice excursion in the town of Shaoguan. Get some excercise by walking up the small mountain to the top, where a cool pagoda type building awaits. Go at night, and the views over the city are impressive. The lighting of the pagoda is very cool, and makes for great pictures. The walk up is not bad at all, maybe 20 minutes or so. It can be refreshing in the summer, when maybe a breeze is blowing. Get some ice-cream at one of the little vendors on the way up or down.

The park is beautiful and suitable for those who live in big cities in Guangdong and would like to appreciate 'the nature at a city nearby. BUT if you don't live in Guangdong, I don't recommend you to fly for a long distance just to walk around a park here.It's not that special.
6. Shaoguan Lion Rock

Reviewed By WanFuRenJia - Shenzhen
独特な形をした岩山が点在する地域で、半日ハイキングを楽しむには良い所だと思います。登り下りとも、鎖や手すりに掴まりながら、垂直に近い岩場を行きますので、出来れば登山靴やそれなりの準備をしていった方が良いと思います。名物？はXXの形をした岩で、自然の造形とはいえ見事なものです。途中には水や果物を売っている所もありますが、高いので、元気な方は持参されると良いでしょう。
入山料は150元で、60才以上は半額になります。東莞市長安（深センとの境目）から、高速で片道約4時間。広州・花都を経て、途中清遠方面と別れて北北東方向に進みます。幾分マイナーな観光名所ですので、急に思い立っても、国定休日の最中でも、比較的交通の混雑や、現地での人混みに悩まされることは少ないと思います。

The cave is pretty cool, and a good place to get some cooler temperature during hot summer days. The museum is not very advanced, or modern, but still has some interesting artifacts and knowledge of the Maba Man time period. The mountain and cave area is neat, making a nice trip in the Shaoguan area.
