    There are 2 live shows to see here, Lion dance and Cantonese opera. Makes the entry fee worth it. There are also exhibits about martial arts masters Ip Man and Huang Feihong but Ip man was closed at time of visit. The exhibit for HFH was about reaccounts of him in TV and Radio rather than his life, so that was a bit disappointing. Crowds can be big as tour groups drop off bus load of visitors. Overall still worth the entry fee if you go see some performances and some exhibits about Foshan.

    This theme of "Romance Parks" is now spreading to several places in China.  The place is designed to be on Instagram (or Weibo) with several themes, various "rides" which are not really amusement park machines rides, but like shows having different themes. The main attraction is the show which shows the passage of time for Guangdong, from old to modern. Dances, music, horses, action, people flying around, all very well choreographed clips from time.

    The Xiqiao Mountain Scenic Area is really a place worth visiting. From the moment you step into the scenic spot, the lush trees full of eyes make people feel happy. The vegetation here is rich and varied, the seasons are evergreen, the air is fresh as if filtered, and every breath can make people feel the vitality and vitality of nature. Walking along the mountain road, you can hear the streams flowing in the mountains, and the crisp sound of running water is like a wonderful symphony, which adds a lot of fun to the journey. The 72 peaks on the mountain have their own characteristics, and the 42 holes are also deep and strange. There are also waterfalls, clear springs, mountain rocks, and Youtans. The view is suddenly open, the mountains in the distance are continuous, the clouds are picturesque, and people are intoxicated. The humanistic landscape of Xiqiao Mountain is not inferior. Baofeng Temple has a history of more than 600 years, antique, cigarettes in the temple, and the Buddha statue is solemn, which makes people feel in awe. The South China Sea Guanyinxiang is even more magnificent, up to 61.9 meters, sitting on the lotus platform, lovingly overlooking all beings, giving people a kind of soul shock. There are also ancient buildings in Baiyun Cave, such as Sanhu Academy, Yunquan Xianguan, etc., carrying a deep historical and cultural heritage, strolling in it, as if you can travel through time and space and feel the atmosphere of the life of the ancients. The ecological environment of the scenic spot is also very good, there are a variety of wildlife such as chickens and spring bamboo shoots, they live freely in the mountains and forests, adding a spiritual beauty to Xiqiao Mountain. Moreover, the peach blossoms here are also very famous. The largest ornamental peach garden in the Pearl River Delta region is here. When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the mountains are full of red, like dreams, like paradise. In terms of supporting facilities, Xiqiao Mountain is also doing a good job. There are perfect signs and trails in the scenic area, and even first-time tourists are not easy to get lost. There are also sightseeing cars to choose from, which is very convenient for tourists with poor physical strength or tight time.

    Nanfeng Ancient Stove is indeed a cultural landmark of Foshan! The core Gulong Kiln is still in use, and you can see the ceramic burning process with your own eyes, which is super shocking. The DIY experience project here is rich, suitable for parents and couples. The surrounding Ming and Qing ancient buildings are very charming, and the artistic atmosphere is also strong. You can enjoy exquisite ceramics and communicate with artists. The climate is good in spring and autumn, it is worth a visit!

    Paid for the special package but didn’t see you needed to reserve ahead. So had to go back and pay 3x more. But still worth it. Didn’t even get through half the stuff and we had a great time. Saw animals, wax museum, haunted house, and rode some rides. It was a Holiday and still had no wait towards the end of the night. Some much food and drinks and shopping. Even found a clean western bathroom! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this and go again.

    There are many places to visit, including gift shops, clothing, shopping, food, leisure, supermarkets, and a good place to check in and take photos. At night, there are many lanterns outside the square area to create a romantic atmosphere of the water town, and play music, which is very comfortable. There are also many restaurants, many choices, and the consumption is not expensive. You can spend a whole day here.

    A very commercialized area, but still enjoyable. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés to choose from. The old Lingnan architecture mixed with modern vibes makes the place interesting. A nice spot for a relaxed stroll and some people-watching.

    Snoopyland is located in the city, next to a big shopping mall. Travel Didi over is very convenient. The park is not big and can be walked quickly. The amenity decor is kind of in disrepair, and it should have been great if it had come before.
