Guanyinshan Forest Park is located in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan City, Dongguan City, because it is in the mountains, and only today to be able to retain the most primitive scenery in the Pearl River Delta such a bustling metropolis, which is also known as a piece of pure land in the Pearl River Delta, the Guanyin Mountain has a long history, in the ancient times, people venerate the temples, and the rise of Buddhism.
Guanyinshan Temple first emerged in the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is the most prosperous, the Buddha in the hearts of the Buddhist people have an indestructible position, Guanyin Goddess of Mercy's status is no less than him.
Legend has it that Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, came to the Middle Kingdom and landed here for the first time, and for the sake of this rare Buddhist destiny, the mountain was called Guanyin Mountain. With over 99% of the forest covered, Guanyin is not only blessed with natural beauty, but also has a wealth of interesting recreational areas in the park.
The best way to get around Guanyin Mountain is by scenic bus, or if you're a sports enthusiast, you might want to hike up the mountain. The national forest parks in most cities attract tourists with their natural beauty as their best feature. In addition to the pleasant scenery given by nature, Guanyinshan National Forest Park also prepares wonderful activities and programs for tourists from time to time, such as the very popular fitness orienteering sports and 10,000 people dating meeting, tens of thousands of tourists will gather here every season, if you come to the coincidence, you may want to actively join them, embracing the nature, and encounter love.
When you first arrive at Guanyin Mountain, what catches your eye is this Guanyin Mountain Gate Tower, which adopts the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty's citadel, imposing and spectacularly brilliant. Such ancient buildings are very common in other places, but as the entrance to the attractions, it is the first time to see. There are also a number of flags erected on top of the citadel, which gives a sense of traveling to the Qing Dynasty, which is enough to see that Guanyin Mountain pays attention to the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese culture.
Dongguan, Guangdong, the city, the season is the most obvious feature is no winter, warm all year round. Here want to see the snow is really difficult, but in the Guanyin Mountain Forest Park there is a "snow world", so that Guangdong people no longer envy the snow scene in the north, but also do not have to trek to the north just to see a glimpse of the ice sculpture.
It has been thought that similar to the world of ice and snow such as ice parks only these northern cities in the northeast, did not think that the main natural landscape of Guanyinshan also built out to let people "cool summer" facilities, which is enough to see the Guanyinshan Forest Park play a comprehensive, can be said to be full of surprises everywhere.
Seeing the snow park, can not help but think of the movie "Frozen", the heroine of the movie Elsa with her innate magic to build a brilliant ice palace, in childhood has left an indelible impression in the heart. Ever since she was a child, she has longed for the Ice Palace, and even daydreamed about having the same ice magic as her, calling the wind and snow. Approaching the ice and snow theme park in Guanyinshan, it is like a castle, it is the ice and snow palace of heartbreaking childhood!
Wear a good cotton coat, not yet into the ice and snow paradise, feel a coolness drifting through, in the walk, the shape of the ice sculpture stands next to the exquisite people can not move their eyes, ice carving masters spent hundreds of tons of snow and ice carving a one after another animated characters, "penguins", "polar bears "Penguin", "Totoro", "Demon Hunter small Hu Ba" and so on the figure of people overwhelmed, as if in a fairy tale world.
In addition to these ice sculptures, more exciting and ice sports. No need to wait for the winter, even if it is a hot summer, in Guanyin Mountain this ice castle can experience the dream ice slide, challenge ski adventure, if there is enough time, you can also have fun playing snowball fights, play ice bumper cars.
After visiting the ice world, you may want to go next door to glance at the history of the Museum of Ancient Trees, the Museum of Ancient Trees is Dongguan's only collection of ancient trees as the theme of the museum, the museum *** collection of more than 40 trees, from the era of the Yellow Emperor to the Zhou Dynasty, Qin, Han, the three kingdoms, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, up to the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's historical period of the old trees are collected in full.
The most spectacular ancient tree is the treasure of this museum, which is also the oldest one, growing in the period of the Yellow Emperor, about 4,000 years ago. Look at this big tree, although through the vicissitudes of life, but still upright and thick, initially do not believe that the tree can survive so long, but when you see it that more than 300 circles of the wheel of the year, with dumbfounded to describe the look at the time is not too much.
The age of the tree more than five hundred years of living tree movement must be approved by the provincial forestry department, belongs to the "national treasure". Visible in this small ancient tree museum how many national treasures. Their value is inestimable, researchers and scholars can also be through these ancient trees, to understand the ancient trees belong to the age of hydrological conditions and climate speculation.
Whether these artifacts left over from the era have life or not, people are dialoguing with history through the artifacts, crossing the barrier of time and space and overlooking the winds and rains of history. There are many schools to organize primary and secondary school students to come to learn, for them to science, in the play and visit will learn a lot of knowledge, such a "science education base" is really too good.
There is time to bring the children, in such a strong learning environment, I believe that this is a meaningful trip, and, like the study of cultural relics you, Guanyinshan must be one of the stops you can not miss.
For some reason, I grew up with a love of history and a curiosity about the stories and lifestyles of ancient celebrities, so I became very interested in ancient artifacts. The museums are often visited, as if the artifacts in the museums can make people go back to the past and solve the mystery of ancient things in their hearts.
Museums have a variety of cultural relics, in Guanyinshan National Forest Park also hides such a folk coin museum, and this hidden in the mountains of the museum is not unusual, it is the world's first Chinese folk coin museum, but also the world's only comprehensive display of the Chinese skeleton spend money and alien spend money in the museum. Coins from various dynasties are on display here, which reflect the splendor and downfall of each dynasty and bear witness to the imprint of the times.
The Folklore Coin Museum displays a series of authentic coins collected over the years by a Mr. Shanze, who has never stopped collecting coins for more than 40 years, and the hollowed-out and shaped coins in the Folklore Coin Museum are the most typical ones. He has accumulated nearly 10,000 pieces of various kinds of collectibles, and his collection of coins is also very perfect.
The collection in the Folk Coin Museum ranges from the Han Dynasty a thousand years ago to the Republic of China period. The collection has its distinctive features, characteristics and personality. This one coin will be a dynasty of minting technology performance, coins, although small, but reflects China's profound culture and heritage. I am really interested in these antiquities, slowly learned that folk coins in ancient times called "flower spring", for the normal circulation has the function of payment of the line of money, flower spring is used to express the blessings of the rich and noble families, wear or play with the entertainment of knickknacks. It is because of this that "Huaquan" became a work of art in ancient times, and many coin collectors favored coins with exquisite craftsmanship and complicated patterns, and even passed them down from generation to generation as family heirlooms. So it's not surprising to see them in Guanyinshan National Forest Park now.
If you take a quick glance at these folk coins and leave, you might fail the coin collectors in their efforts to preserve the coins. Looking at these exquisite coins is like going back to a thousand years ago, and maybe these coins still hold an elusive bond. Such a long history and culture museum is suitable for children to popularize science, suitable for historians to study and explore, of course, is also suitable for those of us who love cultural relics of ordinary people. If you have enough time, you must take the time to appreciate it.
Not far from the museum, you can also meet the droll culture and art gallery, gallery to see a lot, but such a beautiful gallery is rare. Both sides of the road is covered with green foliage, a look at the pleasure, look up to the sky is even more fascinating, can not see the blinding sunlight, only to see the pink flowers.
The pink flowers and green leaves form an archway, slowly into the corridor, a glimpse of the end. As the breeze blew by, the purple and pink flowers swayed more than just like a bright river of stars. Instead of being a tourist attraction, it looks like the perfect backdrop for an artistic photo shoot.
Grab a camera, put on a white dress and turn around, gently press the shutter is a beautiful photo, super suitable for couples to hit the card, all around the girl's heart is bursting, this art gallery will be a couple of beautiful memories.
In order for the promenade to achieve the effect of changing scenery, I heard that the scenic area in the future will be a variety of props will be arranged into a cute shape, then no matter from which angle to appreciate people feel addicted to, can be said that this is the eyes and the soul of the all-round enjoyment. Here to see the scenery, but also to see the art of flowers, you can enjoy the romantic promenade step by step flowers, but also in the exquisite curtains side of the feeling of a curtain dream of leisure and elegance.
There is also an amusement park near the promenade that is popular with the little ones, where there are a series of popular children's rides such as roller coasters, pirate ships and merry-go-rounds. There are also exquisite small train, quite suitable for parents and children to interact together to enjoy the scenery. Each of the play equipment is customized for children, even if the baby age of the small will not hurt, simply called the children's paradise, every child can release the nature of this place, worry-free fun.
After viewing the unique scientific research posture of the museum, on the way up the mountain can also encounter spectacular waterfalls, Guanyin Mountain National Forest Park on the waterfalls of the attractions can be more than one or two, 36 waterfalls, Xianquan waterfalls, waterfalls Pavilion, these places are a good place to watch the waterfalls.

The park is full of waterfalls and caves, and there are a lot of strange vegetation and flowers beside the waterfalls, which are charming and fascinating. The waterfalls are like rivers in the sky, cascading down to the peaks, splashing white waves, splashing dazzling water droplets, and the mist rises up, making them as powerful as a thunderous thunderclap.
Whenever the rainy season, pouring rain falls, rain and waterfalls into one, turbulent water flow from above, rushing, water from the mountains steeply left, as if a white cloth, if you want to watch the waterfalls from a distance, you can go to the entrance of the recreation pavilion, viewing trestle, waterfalls, waterfalls bridge, waterfalls, such as the humanities landscape, a fine feeling of the spectacular natural waterfalls, if you are close to the station, the rain water, the rapid, the waterfalls are very wet, the waterfalls are very wet. A little inattention to the whole body is wet.
At the top, walk through a comfortable and cozy avenue, you will arrive at the Guanyin Mountain, one of the most beautiful attractions - auspicious road. The name of this road comes from the hope that people who walk through this road will be lucky and well. It is not as steep and winding as other mountain roads, but between each Guanyin Terrace is a step by step, moving step by step, a different scenery.
Hiking on this road is unique, here a piece of rolling peaks is really spectacular, a number of main peaks clustered around the Guanyin Mountain scenic area, magnificent. Elevated peaks are rich in plants, and as far as the eye can see, the green color makes one's eyes light up, and the heart delights and rejoices.
Looking at this garden full of green, just feel cozy, pleasant, life's troubles seem to have disappeared, the scenery of Guanyin Mountain is also unpredictable, whenever it rains, the clouds and mist around the mountain peaks, as if the immortal's hermitage, this hazy mood in the book is the most common, can be here to see with their own eyes, will have no regrets.

CiYunGe was formerly known as Flying Cloud Pavilion, up to 33 meters high, climbed to the top of CiYunGe, is Zhangmutou view of the perfect location, "will be when over the top, a glimpse of the mountains is small" is the feeling of standing in the top of the CiYunGe, rather than the CiYunGe is Zhangmutou's landmark, rather than the CiYunGe is a compass to point out the direction of the locals to go home, whenever the night comes, this jewel of a landmark. Whenever night comes, this jewel glows in the pitch black.
At the very front of the auspicious road is the beauty of the moon old platform, the moon old platform this piece of scenery is also the best, where you can see the entire Zhangmutou town panoramic view, how can not record this scenery in the camera? After the rain, clouds and mist, this is the best place to appreciate the sea of clouds.

In the Guanyin Square, you can see ribbons and locks of blessings all over the place, recording the wishes and prayers of tourists along the road. The Guanyin Stone Statue is located in the center of Guanyin Mountain Square, which is the world's largest granite statue of Guanyin, the most granite statue.

Food Recommendations
In Guanyin Square there is a fasting food store is highly recommended to taste, restaurant dishes are divided into buffet and a la carte system, Guanyinshan store's vegetarian feast will be the traditional crude tea and rice of the narrow view of vegetarianism thrown out of the Bureau, advocating to health as the concept of health, not only are its raw materials colorful and organic environmentally friendly, the vegetarian feast process is ingenious, colorful, dazzling.
Dishes are refined with soy products and three mushrooms and six ears, but in order to achieve a similar effect with meat, the chefs modulate with soy products to simulate the flavor of meat. Sweet and sour, bitter and spicy have their own flavors, vegetarian food is hearty and well-eaten, with a trinity of taste, health and cultivation.
