[2025 Guangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Huafeng Temple (Updated Feb)

🎈 Everyone, there's a mini "Zhangjiajie" hidden in Guangzhou! It's called Ganzhu Mountain Park, a hidden gem that's not yet popular. Come and check it out before it gets crowded!🔥 📍 Address Near Buling Road, Yonghe Street, Huangpu District, Guangzhou. It's super convenient to get there by bus, with many bus stops nearby for easy access. Breathtaking natural scenery✨ 🎈 As soon as you enter the park, it's like stepping into a paradise. The mountain is 135 meters above sea level, and the hiking trail is surrounded by lush vegetation, like a jade ribbon winding through the park. Wildflowers dot the roadside, and butterflies dance among the flowers. As you walk, you'll see a clear artificial lake, with the water reflecting the green trees and mountains on the shore, like a mirror. The Tingyu Pavilion and boat are by the lake, adding a poetic touch. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook Huafeng Mountain and Huafeng Temple, with rolling hills and a solemn ancient temple. This view is simply breathtaking!💓

Surprisingly, no one knows about the grand Tang-style temple in Huangpu District🙏🏻, located right inside Huasheng Park. After praying for blessings, 🍃you can also enjoy fishing in the park, which is really suitable for the whole family. It's perfect to have a blessing-seeking spring outing during the first lunar month.😇 🔹Itinerary Guangzhou--Huafeng Temple--Vegetarian meal--Worship--Huasheng Park--Return Huafeng Temple was originally built in the first year of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, and after several reconstructions, the current temple has been rebuilt, 🏯but still retains the full flavor of the Tang Dynasty, grand and magnificent.～🚗Driving to Huafeng Temple, it is recommended to drive directly up the mountain, where there is a parking lot, which is very convenient, and the scenery is nice. The temple is large, with a vegetarian hall on the right side, 🍲where you can eat vegetarian meals for free. Note the time from 11:30 to 12:30, there aren't many styles, but the taste is decent, 😇and what's more important is the kind heart of eating vegetarian. The temple also distributes free blessed rice, and you can add oil to the lamps as you wish. After praying for blessings, drive down the mountain directly to visit Huasheng Park, where you can camp and picnic on the large lawn🌱, catch fish in the stream🐟, and stroll around with kids comfortably～and parking is free for the whole journey, which is really nice. 🎈🎈For more off-the-beaten-path fun places, check out my homepage~ I'm Xiao K who loves traveling, with an 8-year-old meatball at home, love to share travel tips, and also keen to explore surrounding places for kids to play.❤️❤

You should visit N times a year, as it boasts rich natural landscapes, offering moments of tranquility and peace. Those destined to come here can worship Buddha, burn incense, chant sutras, and pray. The lilies on both sides of the Buddha hall exude a subtle fragrance. 'The Bodhi is not a tree, nor is the clear mirror a stand; nothing was there initially, so what can the dust alight upon?' Walking through the ancient temple is like receiving a spiritual cleansing. We usually choose to drive leisurely to Huasheng Park on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. The temple is halfway up the mountain, and you can either hike up (via trail or road) or drive directly to the temple entrance, where parking is free. There is also a lunch vegetarian meal service time: 11:30~12:30 Meal cost: WeChat cash donation at will Staple food: Rice, steamed buns, fried noodles Two dishes and a soup, the soup is really amazing, the first time I tasted a meatless soup that's better than meat soup! If you're lucky, there's also fruit, all offered by kind-hearted people. If you want to eat the vegetarian meal, it's recommended to go early. When we arrived at 11:30, there were already quite a few people in line, and if you go late, there will be no food left. Climbing up from the base of Huasheng Park is very friendly, with no difficulty at all. Many parents bring their children to exercise and worship the gods. It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk slowly, a way that most people can experience. Huafeng Temple holds many dharma assemblies, lamp offerings, lamp transmission for blessings, and Zen meditation group practices every year, and also provides accommodation services.
