Guangxiao Temple
The first temple in Guangzhou. Many famous monks from India and China have carried on Buddhist activities there.
Qingping Market
Qingping Market is probably the main touristic attraction. It is one of the largest markets in China. Of course, you can buy there lots of (for us) exotic veggies, but the various kinds of animals are the real attration... If you're thinking about becoming a vegetarian, you should go there!
Orchid Garden
Located on the west of Liuhu Lake, it is a small park featuring orchids. The garden grows more than 10,000 pots of orchids in over 100 varieties. With trees and flowers and winding paths, the park presents a scene as beautiful as a painting.
