Hiking is a must when traveling to Foshan, so I made an appointment with a friend’s family to hike in Xiqiao Mountain. The two children chased each other all the way, which was about ten kilometers round trip, and they completed it independently. They were very happy. Xiqiao Mountain is located in the southwest of Nanhai District, Foshan. It is a national key scenic spot, a national forest park and a national geological park. Xiqiao Mountain is warm in winter and cool in summer, with an average annual temperature of 21.8℃. The concentration of negative ions in the mountain is very high, and it is known as a natural oxygen bar. There is a parking lot at the foot of the mountain, which is convenient for self-driving. Tickets to the scenic spot are 53 RMB for adults, half price for children, and free for children under 1.2 meters or under 6 years old. Hike up the newly built plank road, where pedestrian and vehicle paths are separated, so you can let your children run and play without worry. Climbing up the hundred steps is a bit tiring. In order to encourage the children to climb the stairs, they were asked to count whether there were 100 steps. The children were immediately motivated and climbed up while counting. When they counted to 100, they found that there were still a long way to go. They had already climbed up and did not want to give up, so they continued to move forward. The air in the forest is super fresh, it is worthy of being called a natural oxygen bar. Although I was sweating profusely, I felt relaxed both physically and mentally. There are waterfalls that flow all year round, and spring water gurgling from caves. Locals say the spring water is drinkable. We collected water in bottles and tasted it, and it was indeed clear and sweet. The religious culture of Xiqiao Mountain is a combination of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Baofeng Temple in the scenic area has a history of more than 600 years and is one of the four famous temples in South Guangdong. The buildings in the temple are designed in the style of the Ming Dynasty, simple and elegant. The Xiqiao Nanhai Guanyin is 61.9 meters high and 36 meters in diameter. It is forged from copper and is the tallest seated Guanyin statue in the world. #weekendtrip #goodplacesforsummer #goodplacesforfamily #foshan #foshanattractions #goodplacesforfoshan #xiqiaoshan

As a Shunde native, I really think this tastes very authentic~ The most important thing is that the portion is really super large. I almost didn't finish half a portion of drunken goose for two adults and one snack🤭. There are even dozens of 💰 per person near the scenic spot. The price-performance ratio is really explosive Shunde Flame Goose The goose meat is super flavorful. This pot base really makes everything delicious If there are not many people, I recommend half a goose. The portion is enough~ The alcohol evaporates after ordering🔥. It does not affect driving after eating. The meat aroma wafts throughout the process🙌🏻~ After eating the drunken goose, remember to use the pot base to cook noodles or rice. It is super delicious (rice and noodles are unlimited) Shunde Fish Cake 💰18 This portion is really a great deal! It tastes very chewy and delicious 😋, full of freshness

I recently visited Xiqiaoshan with my elderly parents and had a mixed experience. Be aware that weekends can get crowded, so plan your trip on weekdays for a smoother visit. The scenic views were breathtaking, but numerous stairs and uneven paths posed challenges. Fortunately, the tram service helped, and discounted tickets for seniors (65+) made it more accessible. #foshanattraction #naturalwonders #china #thingstodo #citydaytours #xiqiaomountain

When I was a kid, my family took me to go caving. So I always thought it was cool and interesting Xiqiao Mountain, which I have longed for for a long time✨Here I come! ! ! ❌Let’s talk about a few pitfalls first🥶 ▶️[Liangbu Road] There are related routes. It was my first time to go there and I was able to walk out, but it is recommended to check everyone’s direction clearly! ! Follow the direction! Take the wild road first (because it is easier to go uphill than downhill on the wild road) ▶️It is recommended to travel in a group of 4 people! ! ! Caving with two people would be more scary 😂😂😂 it’s pitch black and there’s no sound ▶️The last hole is the best! ! ! (Twelve holes/Picture 1) ▶️There will be a supply point halfway through (at the tea garden)! You can buy everything! Instant noodles, Pocari, snacks, ice cream, and shared power banks are also available! This park is bigger and more beautiful than expected! ! The scenery of caving is amazing! Very interesting too! !
