“Guanyin (Buddha) statue is the highlight”
Feb 2021
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!

“Great day out in the South China Sea”
Aug 2019
A beautiful place to visit on the outskirts of foshan city, clean air great exercise and awesome for photos, my wife’s office is very close by so I often go there to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the statue is a beautiful landmark and the views from the top are great, a must see if your visiting foshan. A real taste of this amazing country China.

Mountain Lake + Guangyin Statue
Dec 2019
The view of the city is stunning, the surroundings of the Guangyin temple are beautiful, you can choose 3 ways to go to the top: cable car nearby Listening Lake, by foot entrance nearby Jianpu East Road portal or by car to the parking right down the temple area.
Enjoy your time and burn incense for multiple purpose (3 each time).
Take a look at middle mountain lake, it's a peaceful atmosphere, if you're lucky they will have a Foshan Lion Dance presentation

Must see
Jan 2017 • Family
This place is amazing! It looks so much better than the photos. If you are in Foshan or even Guangzhou this place is worth going to. It took 3 hours from Guangzhou by metro and bus (Jihua Park then bus 226 all the way to Xiqiao Mountain). The entry fee is 70rmb each. Kids under 1.2m are free. I caught the sight seeing bus and I am so glad I did. It is a huge walk up the mountain and would have taken too long with my five year old. The tickets for the sight seeing bus are 20rmb and 10rmb for kids between 1.2m and 1.5m. Kids under 1.2m are free. There are only a few places to eat so I think it is better to take your own food. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too good today but on a clear day the views would be spectacular! You can even go inside the statue and look around at the carvings and buddha statues. I loved it.

Beware of touting from private drivers
I am writing this to warn all tourists. My mum and I were approached by many private drivers as we walked along the deng shan da dao ( route to mountain). They were persistent and pushy and even tailed us for quite a while. We met one guy who quoted us 40rmb to head up to the guan yin status for which we rejected, then as we walked off he said 20rmb. And we finally gave in. Then as we reached the place, he said 20rmb is to the foot of the mountain and not to top. So we have to pay 40rmb. Along the way he forced us to buy incense which costs like 88rmb! We insisted on not getting the big ones so we paid 68rmb for the smaller ones (still a rip off). Throughout the whole journey he was begging us to hire his car for a few hours and he told us that since we are already paying 40rmb, mind as well pay in total 180rmb. In the end, judging that my mum is old, I gave in to an agreed price of 180rmb. However, when we were done, he said it was 220rmb instead. Well, we decided to take it as a donation for this driver and not to argue. I am writing this so as to warn anyone going to this place or possibly any part of china. There is a tourist vehicle that brings tourist around the mountain at 20rmb available actually at the entrance of mountain. This just taught me a lesson and I hope no one else suffer from the same fate. As for the attraction, its pretty nice apart from the fact that the entrance is a bit steep for china standard.

Beautiful park and prepared to do lots of walking
Feb 2016 • Couples
We were there on the Chinese Year Day. And most visitors are locals, they came to receive blessing from the Goddess of Mercy ( 西樵山南海观音), . The centre of the park is a 61 meters tall bronze Statue of the Goddess Guan Yin, it must be one of the largest in China. The statue is impressive, and is constructed next to a huge temple complex. There are other sites such as caves, pagodas, ancient villages, cable cars in the park, and you could easily a whole day here, The entrance is 70 RMB, and the shuttle cost 20 RMB return, and yes, it is expensive but it WILL save you a lot of leg work.
Yes, be prepared to do a lot of walking, but he effort is well worth it.

Great way to spend the morning!
Jul 2015 • Friends
Get up early and head to the park! You can catch a bus from Zumaio that will take about 45 minutes, depending on traffic. Once there, start your venture by climbing towards the top. Its an easy hike, so don't be intimidated! Beautiful views and temples.

Huge Park
May 2015 • Friends
Quite far from Foshan (30-40 minutes with the bus), this is a huge park where to spend the whole day in. The reduced fee for holiday was about 60 RMB but it was definitely worth it. Even if the map they provide you with is not so clear, one can find his way along the area (lot of walking and climbing up stairs included). I recommend having a look at all the places mentioned on the map, since there are many different things to see such as waterfalls and bamboo forests. The main attraction is the big statue at the top of the mountain, where one can have a pleasant look all over the city of Foshan. Such an amazing masterpiece.

Xiqiao Mountain is spectacular - get there early
Sep 2014 • Family
Been in GZ for a number of years and have always wanted to make the trip to Xiqiao Mountain in Foshan. This site is absolutely fantastic! The location and the scenery and the temples the giant Goddess statue of Kwan Yin are all a wonderful experience that make Xiqiao Mountain a great day trip - one could actually spend 2 days discovering what this site has to offer.

Getting there from Guangzhou is a bit of a journey - if you're doing it by public transit. We took the GZ Metro to Zumaio Station - which is basically in the core of Foshan - that took one hour from Wuyanqcun metro stn. From there we hired a taxi to the gate of the mountain, 100rmb flat rate that was 40 minute drive in the taxi. Did the reverse coming back.

If you're into temples, monastery's, a lot of walking up steps and other Chinese cultural activities, go to Xiqiao Mountain for at least a day. Here's a web site: http://www.xiqiaoshantour.com/eng/Scenery.html

There's a ton of stuff to see and do but we only saw about 30% of what this site has to offer. Wondering around the temples etc., kind of felt like The Forbidden City in Beijing.
