Deep in the mountains of Dongguan, there lies a majestic and spectacular 'Palace in the Sky'

Golden roof tiles, red walls, intricately carved beams and painted rafters, the Grand Hall, and cloud-level corridors... Who would have thought that such a grandiose 'Palace in the Sky' could be hidden in the deep mountains near Guangzhou? It's a great new destination for a New Year's blessing trip! Right next to it, there's also a stunning hiking trail where you can breathe fresh air and admire the beautiful tea garden sunset. This is the Guanyin Temple in Dalingshan, Dongguan, which has a history of over 300 years. From the entrance to the top, it's as high as a 19-story building, which is quite impressive (you can take an elevator to the top for a painless blessing). Travel Tips: It's recommended to drive up the mountain. There's a parking lot next to the entrance of the Guanyin Temple, but on holidays, when it's crowded with people and cars, it's best to go early; for friends taking a taxi, it's easy to get there, but the return trip might require taking a motorcycle🐔🏍️ down the mountain. If you want to take photos and check in, you can go straight to the highest place, the Sutra Depository, and shoot downwards. Models on the corridor of the Guanyin Pavilion look especially good in photos. For those who want to 🚶 hike, it's recommended to reserve an extra 3 hours. After visiting the Guanyin Temple, enter the Dalingshan Mini Loop from the Stone City Tower next to it. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by streams and green trees, and there's a tea garden on the mountain top where the sunset is absolutely beautiful. From 11:00 to 14:00, there's a vegetarian buffet in the dining hall, 25/person.
