Tour guide words of famous tourist attractions in Guangdong

As a knowledgeable tour guide, it is inevitable to write tour guide words. The main characteristics of tour guide words are colloquial, informative, literary and polite. So what are the excellent tour guide words? The following are my carefully compiled tour guide words for famous tourist attractions in Guangdong for reference only. Let's have a look.

Yuexiu Park is located in the north of Guangzhou, about one kilometer southeast of Guangzhou Railway Station. It is the largest park in Guangdong, covering an area of 920,000 square meters. Besides Yuexiu Mountain, it also includes six surrounding hills and Dongxiu Lake, Nanxiu Lake and Beixiu Lake.

Three artificial lakes.

There are many kinds of flowers and trees in Yuexiu Park, including red cotton in early spring, azaleas in late spring, magnolia in April, Jinfeng Shandan in May, smiling faces in autumn and wintersweet. Every spring and autumn, there is also a grand Spring Festival and Chrysanthemum Exhibition. There is also a stadium in the park that can accommodate more than 30,000 spectators. The main attractions are Wuyang Stone Carving, zhenhai tower and Zhongshan Memorial Tower.

Yuexiu Mountain Shangwuyang Stone Statue

Wuyang Stone Statue is the symbol of Guangzhou. Walking into Yuexiu Park and climbing Mount Muke, you are greeted by a poetic artistic work-Wuyang Stone Statue, which was designed by famous sculptor Yin Jichang and others in 1959.

The fairy of Wuyang came to Guangzhou and brought good luck and happiness to the people of Yangcheng. They offered rice to the people and wished "Huanhui (which means fair) would never starve to death", and then flew away, and Wuyang became a boulder.

The artist recreated this wonderful legend. Look! Five stone sheep have different looks: the old sheep standing on a high place is strong, with ears of wheat in its mouth and its head held high forward; At the foot of the old sheep is a pair of dense lambs; Another pair of mother and son sheep, the ewe turned around and looked around at the little sheep that was quietly sucking milk. The deep maternal love was beyond words.

Zhenhai tower

The building was built in Hongwu, Ming Taizu in the 13th year (1380), with a history of more than 600 years. This building has been destroyed and built five times. Originally a brick-wood structure, 1928 was transformed into a reinforced concrete structure. After liberation, the people's government renovated it and listed it as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.

The five-story building is 25m high, 3m wide and1m deep. It is rectangular. The first and second floors are red sandstone strips, and the third floor is brick walls. The outer wall is shrinking step by step, like a tower with red walls and green tiles. The shape is very quaint and peculiar. There is a pair of 2-meter-high Ming Dynasty red sandstone stone lions carved in front of the building. On the front of the top floor of the building, there is a huge gold plaque of "zhenhai tower".

There is a stele gallery in front of the fifth floor, with 24 steles in the past dynasties. Among them, the first four Shi Guwen inscriptions originally carved in 770 BC (more than 2,760 years ago) are the oldest surviving inscriptions in China. There is an 12 ancient gun next to the stele gallery, which is evidence of the Opium War. Among them, 5 guns and 7 guns are made in Foshan.

Zhenhai tower couplet

The couplets on both sides of the gate of zhenhai tower read: "There are thousands of robberies, but dangerous buildings still exist. Ask who will pick Xiao Mo and look down on the past; " Five hundred years, so Hou An is here, which makes me lean on the fence and look at the sword, and shed tears on the hero! "This couplet was inscribed by Li Dihua, assistant to Peng Yulin, governor of Guangxu and Guangdong Provinces in Qing Dynasty." The "old Hou" in the couplet refers to Zhu Liangzu, who built zhenhai tower, and now the building is empty, which can prove the vicissitudes of history. "Let me lean on the bar to see the sword and cry for the hero! "Is felt. At that time, due to the Sino-French War, Peng Yulin led troops to Guangdong and stationed in zhenhai tower. He opposed Li Hongzhang's traitorous negotiations, but he had to shed tears as a hero. This couplet sings the story first, then writes the person. It is a beautiful couplet with magnificent artistic conception.

Ancient historical features

Yuexiu Mountain Ming Dynasty Ancient City Wall

Great progress was made in the urban construction of Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. In the 13th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1380), Hou Zhuliangzu of Yongjia merged the three cities of Song and Yuan into one city, and expanded eastward and northward: the urban area starts from Yuexiu Road today in the east, reaches Renmin Road in the west, reaches Wenming Road, Da 'nan Road and Dade Road in the south, and crosses Xiushan in the north. At this time, Yuexiu Mountain was formally incorporated into the city, and zhenhai tower on the mountain was also built.

Up to now, most of the city walls in Guangzhou have been demolished, and there is still a Ming city wall 1 100 meters long in zhenhai tower, Yuexiu Mountain. The height of the wall varies from 1m to 10m. The lower part of the city wall is red sandstone lath, and the upper part is blue city brick. Among them, the wall around zhenhai tower, which is about 200 meters long, has been repaired by the municipal government. Guangzhou ancient city wall is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in Guangdong.

Dear travel friends, hello!

Welcome to Lvwan Lake for sightseeing! You are now on a sightseeing boat in Lvwan Lake. For your safe and pleasant journey, please follow the arrangement of the ship owner, passengers and tour guides during the boat ride. Find a place to sit, don't walk around on the deck. Adults, please take good care of children and don't cross the ship's rail. Don't get on or off the ship until it is docked. When the team returns, please ask the team leader to count the number of people. Dear tourists and friends, please take good care of the environment, keep it clean and sanitary, and don't litter the lake and scenic spots. If you need help during the cruise, or feel that there is something wrong with the service quality of the ship owner and passengers, please let us know, and we will try our best to help and give you a satisfactory answer.

Dear friends, now, the sightseeing boat is breaking the waves. In front of it, the blue waves are boundless, formerly known as Xinfengjiang Reservoir in Dongyuan County, Heyuan City, Guangdong Province. In 2003, it was rated as a national 4A scenic spot. Maybe you will ask, why is Xinfengjiang Reservoir called Lvwan Lake? This is because the reservoir is located in the subtropical monsoon area, which is affected by the warm southeast monsoon and is mild and rainy all the year round. Moreover, the vegetation in the reservoir belongs to subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, Pinus massoniana and coniferous broad-leaved mixed forest, because these vegetation are green all the year round. Therefore, the mountains here are evergreen all the year round, the mountains reflect the water, and the water in the reservoir is evergreen all the year round. 1994, Heyuan people gave this blue lake a beautiful and poetic name-Lvwan Lake.

Friends of tourists, water has always been the source of life and everything. Without water, human beings can't imagine. The greatest charm of Lvwan Lake lies in water, especially in today's increasingly serious global water shortage. The richness of Lvwan Lake is undoubtedly the pride of Heyuan people. Its total area is 1.600 square kilometers, of which the forest area accounts for1.654,38+0.000 square kilometers, which is bigger than a Hong Kong. The water area of 370 square kilometers is equivalent to 68 West Lakes in Hangzhou, and there are more than 360 green islands in the lakes. Looking around, the surrounding mountains are continuous, as if swimming in a "green ocean".

There is heaven in the sky and Suzhou and Hangzhou on the ground. Sincerely advise friends to drink a glass of wine, and it is difficult to meet their loved ones when they go out to Yang Guan in the west. My window framed the snow-covered western hills. In history, many literati have been lingering for a long time, leaving a lasting farewell. Friends present here may also be deeply influenced by it. They often travel all over the country and feel the beauty of the West Lake Lishui, the clarity of Guilin's mountains and rivers, the transparency of Jiuzhaigou's water and the clarity of plateau lakes. Here, as long as you come to Lvwan Lake, you can not only enjoy the beautiful, green and clear water, but also feel the cleanliness of the water. Lvwan Lake is so unique. She concentrated the magnificence of water, the pure beauty of water quality, the sweetness of water and the beauty of water color in one place, right in front of your eyes. We believe that when you know all this, when you indulge in it, when you look at the lake, thousands of miles away and feel relaxed and happy, you will definitely do it for yourself. And friends who like to sing poetry and paint, you may have found the inspiration for creation. Please listen to a song "Picking Mulberries" by Mr. Liu, a tourist:

The drizzle in spring is different, and the smoke is misty. There is a breeze on my face, and there are several red spots among the green trees.

The cruise ship sailed slowly through the waves and the sky was flying. The pine trees on the ridge are picturesque in the twilight of Cangshan Mountain.

The tour guide's words of famous tourist attractions in Guangdong 3 Dear group members:

Yuan Xian, Xiao Lou is one of the eight scenic spots in Zengcheng. The scenic spots we visited today are: He Xiangu Family Temple with a long history, He Xiangu Memorial Tower, Guanyin Mountain Shenxian Cave and Panlong Gu Teng, the crown of rattan in Southeast Asia. In addition, during the visit, we can appreciate three unsolved mysteries: First, why is the well water in Fiona Fang, a temple in He Xiangu, slightly salty, while the well water in Xiangu is pure and sweet? Secondly, why does Xiantao grow on the roof of tile roof, without soil and mud, without watering and fertilization, and still flourish? Third, why can't Panlong Gu Teng find its roots?

Do you know anything about He Xiangu? According to ancient and modern books, such as National Ancient and Modern Books Integration Fairy Department, China Place Name Dictionary, Anqing Prefecture Records, Huixian Pavilion Records, All Poems Outside, Cihai, Zengcheng County Records, etc. He Xiangu, formerly known as He, was born in Guicun, Zengcheng County in 682. In the first year of Tang Jinglong (707), he rebelled against his parents' arranged marriage and threw himself into the well to become an immortal. It is said that He Xiangu suddenly disappeared on the wedding day, and everyone in the family panicked. When they saw Motome's embroidered shoes left by the well, their parents knew something was wrong and ordered people to go down the well for salvage, but they didn't find the body. Because of his face, the man went to the county government to sue for the remains of the living. After He Xiangu became an immortal, he traveled to Putian (now Fujian Province) and learned that his parents had been wronged. As the Putian magistrate was about to transfer Zengcheng to her post, she begged the magistrate to allow her to return to Zengcheng with the official ship to avenge her parents. The magistrate granted her request. When we set sail, He Xiangu didn't arrive, but in the water behind the rudder, we saw a female body following the current and the body arrived in Zengcheng. It was He Xiangu. Of course, the "corpse countercurrent" is incredible, so the county official approved the case of "going to the immortal to gain the Tao".

In addition, it is said that during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, seven immortals, including Han Zhongli, Zhang, Cao Guojiu, Han Xiangzi and Lan Cai He, will go to Yaochi to attend the annual Queen Mother's Birthday on March 3rd. In order to gather enough Eight Immortals to propose a toast to the Empress Dowager, Lv Dongbin decided to travel all over the world and finally look for He Xiangu to become an immortal.

He Xiangu's immortality shocked Empress Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian gave He Xiangu three treasures: First, build a shrine in his hometown; The second is to give Xia Zi an attack; The third is to build a monument to commemorate the ten years of Tang Tianbao.

Dear group members, here comes the He Xiangu Temple. Let's go and visit together.

He Xiangu Family Temple He Xiangu Family Temple in front of He Xiangu Family Temple is a key cultural relic protection unit in Zengcheng. Founded in the Ming Dynasty, it has been built repeatedly due to war. The last reconstruction was in the eighth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1858). Camus's masonry platform beam structure, the first and third entrance front porches 13 are volcanic walls; The second entrance of the four pillars, the five-lattice pavilion, is a hard top, and its front ridge and vertical ridge are decorated with anti-warping. Please note that the official script engraved on the stone gate in front of the temple is "He Xiangu Family Temple", which was written by Huang Peifang of Jiaping in the eighth year of Xianfeng, and the stone couplet engraved on the mountain gate is "A Thousand Years' Single Crystal, A Hundred Generations of Clothes Worship the Ancient Temple", which was written by Wang Yingmen, an official in that year. "Lu" and "Geng" both refer to embroidered shoes, referring to the story that He Xiangu threw himself into a well a thousand years ago and left embroidered shoes by the well. The second couplet reflects the long history of He Xiangu Temple and people's reverence for He Xiangu.

Now let's visit the temple. Waiting for you is the Xiangu color painting on the screen, which is the joint work of the famous Guangdong calligrapher Mai and Zengcheng famous painting and calligraphy artist Chen. Bypassing the screen, the second hall enters the purlin, where He Xiangu is worshipped. He Xiangu was carved out of camphor wood, about 70 cm high, and was originally a peasant costume in the Tang Dynasty. He Xiangu's embroidered robe was presented by Shanxin of Thailand, and the pearl headdress on her head was presented by Shanxin of Hong Kong. Times are changing, so is He Xiangu, but the magic of He Xiangu remains the same. I make a wish here, and everything responds. The effect is very good. There are many banners hanging in the hall, which are Malaysian, Thai, Japanese and Singaporean keepsakes to thank He Xiangu. There are two festivals in the temple. On the seventh day of the third lunar month, Xiangu was born. On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, Xiangu became immortal, and the incense in the temple was very prosperous. Please turn around after seeing the statue of He Xiangu. What we see is a smallpox well.

He Xiangu Well, also known as He Xiangu Well, is the place where He Xiangu threw himself into the well to become immortal. The stone shoe model by the well is where He Xiangu left embroidered shoes when he threw himself into the well. So where's the other shoe? One said that in the beautiful Baihua Mountain Resort; The second one is in the litchi ecological theme park-Sakura Garden. The well platform is carved into an octagon with granite, engraved with the words "the fairy source is trickling down, and the drinker lasts for ten thousand years". It is not surprising that the ancient well is dozens of feet deep. Surprisingly, the well water in Fiona Fang, the home temple, tastes slightly, but the well water here is clear and sweet. Making tea with well water is particularly mellow and moist. Drinking this kind of water often can strengthen the body.

Magu Xiantao bypasses He Xiangu well and goes to the right. Everyone saw this peach tree on the tile-backed roof. 100 has been calling it "Xiantao" for more than years. Legend has it that Xiantao celebrated Ma Gu's birthday. Although it grows on the roof with tile back, there is little soil, and it never needs fertilization and watering, but it still has lush leaves. Legend has it that three or five acts of kindness climbed onto the roof and tried to pull out Xiantao, but they failed with great efforts. One of them broke his branches and leaves in anger. As a result, he suffered from abdominal pain immediately and finally had to apologize in front of the statue of He Xiangu to relieve the pain. You can climb the ladder to observe Xiantao, but don't try your best. He Xiangu's aura left a deep impression on everyone. People who eat Xiantao live longer. Therefore, every Xiantao is priceless, and many good people spend a lot of money to order in advance. All buyers pray for peace, prosperity and longevity.

Liuhua Lake Park is a tropical park composed of low hills and lakes. Located in the south of Liu Hua Road, north of Dongfeng West Road and west of Renmin North Road, Guangzhou, there are entrance gates in all three places. According to legend, it was once a famous palace in ancient Guangzhou. When the maid-in-waiting got up early to get dressed, she threw the flowers into the water and fell in love with the waves, hence the name "Liu Hua".

Liuhua Lake is a natural lake in ancient times, which was called Lan Lake or Lan Zhi Lake in ancient times. During the Han and Jin Dynasties, that is, before the 5th century A.D., the lake had a direct access to the Pearl River, which was the main inner port for Guangzhou to go north to the Central Plains. In the Tang Dynasty, there was the West Back Golden Pavilion, which is still the waterway gate of Guangzhou to the north. Ships coming and going from Guangzhou all flood into Guangzhou through Sima, which is a military fortress and traffic artery. In the Ming dynasty, the lake was shrinking and silted up into a sewage pool. 1958, Guangzhou people volunteered to work and turned it into an artificial lake park. At present, the total area of the park is 540,000 square meters, of which the water area is 330,000 square meters. In addition, Liuhua Lake Park is named after Liuhua Bridge, a historic site in the South Han Dynasty in the northeast of the lake.

Based on tropical natural scenery, the park grows tropical and subtropical plants and flowers such as palm, mallow and water cypress. The park has a wide lake, sparkling and rippling blue waves. Sunflower dikes cross and sway, and the ancient banyan trees on the shore cover the sun, which is quiet and quiet, with beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Among the five great lakes in the park, there is an island called Lake Island, which covers an area of about 3,000 square meters and is shaded by trees. The island has been designated as a heron protection base and protected in a closed way. After more than ten years of breeding, there are now more than 10 thousand herons on the island, which is a rare "bird paradise" in the downtown area. There are bird-watching pavilions all over the island, and the beautiful environment provides excellent viewing conditions for tourists.

In Liu Hua Park, there is a famous garden-Xiyuan, which mainly displays pots and bonsai. The park was built in 1956, covering an area of more than 50,000 square meters. It is located by the lake, with beautiful scenery and full of poetry. It is a favorite place for Chinese and foreign bonsai lovers and is called "the hometown of bonsai". There is an ancient banyan island in the park, which displays hundreds of pots of Lingnan bonsai works with Lingnan styles, such as murraya, Bromus, Fujian tea and Ginkgo biloba. In the inner courtyard of the bonsai exhibition hall, there is also the Shishan bonsai area, called Pinshixuan, which displays Zhong Shishan bonsai such as pumice, wax stone, pine bark stone and English stone, which is dazzling.

There is an unforgettable oak tree in the West Garden, which was planted by Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to China in June1986+1October1August. Shortly after the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, Ye Xuanping, then governor of Guangdong Province, presented a 60-year-old bonsai of Murraya murraya to the Queen of England on behalf of the Guangdong people. Being the same age as the Queen of England, Elizabeth II was very happy and planted a tree symbolizing Sino-British friendship with Governor Ye Xuanping.

There are thousands of purple teapots in the exhibition hall of Liuhua Tea Art City, and a red bean shirt coffee table with a span of 6 meters is placed in the center of the hall. More than 30 people sit around the table, and tea drinkers can enjoy tea and snacks while watching the pot. The snacks here are all related to tea. According to the characteristics of various teas, dim sum chefs integrate tea soup, tea powder and tea petals into their hearts. Here, you can taste fragrant tea and slow-swallowing snacks and enjoy life. Really: "Flowing water is full of flowers and shade, and Hongqiao shadows are low in smoke. Light makeup doesn't make the West Lake good, which causes tourists to stay late. "

Good morning everyone. What we are going to visit this morning is our botanical garden in Xiamen. Botanical Garden was built in 1960, located in Shiwan, the southeast corner of Xiamen, covering an area of 227 hectares. It is an important part of Gulangyu-Shiwan National Scenic Area, which is under the jurisdiction of Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture. Over the past 40 years, Xiamen Botanical Garden has introduced more than 5,300 species of cultivated plants, mainly tropical and subtropical plants. The park has formed a cactus area and garden landscapes such as succulents, Palmae, Araceae, Mirabilis jalapa and Cycadaceae. At the same time, a large number of plants were introduced, such as coconut tree king, canary jujube, phoenix tree, mango, bauhinia and so on. , has been widely used in urban landscaping, and successfully demonstrated the application of garden plants in many garden and horticultural exhibitions, and won grand prizes, gold medals and silver prizes in many exhibitions such as 1999 Kunming World Horticultural Exposition.

Now we come to the west gate, which is the main entrance of the botanical garden. After the garden was built, it was rebuilt many times. Now the gate is built at 1995, and people and vehicles are separated. Square, reservoir, real rock, fake stone and waterfall are integrated. On the fake stone above the gate pool, there is the word "the knower is happy", originally from Confucius, "the knower is happy with water, and the benevolent is Leshan." Those who know move, those who are good are quiet. He who knows is happy, and he who is kind lives long. "It means that it is a great pleasure for smart people to devote themselves to landscapes and natural landscapes in order to avoid vulgarity after their busy work. Above the pool is a sloping field, mainly planted with colorful tropical and subtropical ornamental plants such as tourist bananas, cycads and gourd trees. It shows the garden characteristics of the botanical garden with mountains, stones, water and dominant plant species. In addition, there are doors without walls inside and outside the park, which are connected by water and integrated with the scenery.

Ok, now go to the garden with me to enjoy the beautiful plants. First of all, we see the "Xiamen Garden and Botanical Garden" mentioned by contemporary writer Mao Dun in 198 1. Let's go up from the left. This one is a long-term order of China Brown, which goes up to 20 new famous scenic spots in Xiamen, "Stone Bay is cold and green". This is Shiwan Lake-Wanshiyan Reservoir, built in 1952. It was built for flood control and preparation of battle water. Before the library was built, Shuimokengxi and Qiaoxi met at this dam. There are Washington Brown and Senior Flowers on the dam, which are native to America and have the charm of Nanyang, just like the guards lined up. We came from the stone road on the left and came to the pine and fir garden. The pine and fir garden was built in 1970 and officially opened to the public in early 1979, covering an area of nearly 2 hectares. Entering from the west gate of the botanical garden, the garden is ingeniously combined with small and exquisite products, with excellent lake light and bright green shadows. There is a pool in the park, in which there are sculptures of cranes playing in the water, flapping their wings or foraging in the forest, with different postures and extremely vivid shapes; There is a pavilion in the pool, whose columns, beams, covers, stools, bridges and fences are all loose, so it is named "Yannian Pavilion" after pine and crane.

Along the winding path, looking up at the towering pines and cypresses and looking for shadows, it seems that there is a charm of going into the forest to explore secluded places. There is also a living fossil plant in the forest-Ginkgo biloba, which was abundant in Mesozoic from1550,000 years ago to 70 million years ago, and then gradually disappeared. It is the only living fossil in China. This kind of tree grows very slowly. Grandparents planted trees, and grandchildren can taste the fruit (ginkgo), so they are called gongsunshu. Because of its bright leaves, it looks like a folding fan and duck's feet, so it is also called duck's feet. China specialty is the oldest seed plant among the existing seed plants, and it is a national first-class protected plant. In addition to Ginkgo biloba, there are also Podocarpus, Pinus yunnanensis, Cedar, Aralia, Giant Sequoia, and an international friendship tree-Norfolk Aralia, which was sent by messengers from all countries.

Out of the pine garden, go left and come to the bamboo path. Nearly 200 species of ornamental bamboos have been introduced into the Botanical Garden, mainly clustered bamboos. The bamboo plant area has begun to take shape, and all kinds of bamboos are in harmony with the lakes, mountains and mountains, forming a beautiful picture of the garden scenery of "bamboo path and bamboo scene in water" accompanied by bamboo stones. A total of 25 species of clustered bamboos, 165 species (including varieties), were introduced in "Bamboo Path" and "Bamboo Garden" of Xiamen Botanical Garden. Such as bamboo with hedges used in buildings; The bamboos used for awning include bamboo, fine grass bamboo, Guizhou hanging bamboo, fish belly bamboo, Buddha belly bamboo, jade, spotted bamboo and so on. Next to the bamboo path, around Shiwan Lake, there is a door-shaped stone with the word "selling clouds" horizontally, with a height of 0. 3 meters, 0 wide. 6 meters, written by Yao Lifeng in the early Qing Dynasty, means that there are towering rocks here, and there are clouds and fog around here, which seems to be blocked. It is said that in the early morning, whenever clouds gather between cliffs, the valley seems to be blocked by clouds. According to legend, this is where Zheng Chenggong killed Zheng Lian, who was Zheng Chenggong's eldest brother. At that time, he was stationed in Xiamen, exacting taxes and levies, feasting all day, and doing many evils with the intention of clearing up. Zheng Chenggong's uncle Zheng Zhipeng suggested that Zheng Chenggong seize Xiamen and kill Zheng Lian. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty (1650), Zheng Chenggong's warship arrived in Gulangyu from Chaoyang and visited Zheng Lian in Wanshiyan the next day. In the evening, he hosted a banquet for Zheng Lian in Huxi Cave, and ordered warships to assemble and stand by in Xiamen Port. When Zheng Lian was alone in Shiwan, he was unprepared for Zheng Chenggong. After the banquet, Zheng Lian was killed by Zheng Chenggong's ambush on his way home to distribute marble. Zheng Chenggong occupied Wanshiyan in one fell swoop and quickly took control of the situation. Since then, Jinmen and Xiamen have become the bases for Zheng Chenggong to clear Taiwan Province. It has been listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Xiamen. Look at the flowing green bamboo along the bamboo path, and walk for dozens of miles into the Elephant Trunk Peak Scenic Spot in the Rose Garden.

Nanhua Temple is a famous tourist attraction in Guangdong, which is located on the bank of Caoxi, 22 kilometers southeast of Shaoguan City. Huineng, the sixth ancestor, created Zen here, which is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism. 1983, the first batch of Nanhua temples were designated as national key temples by the State Council.

Zen is China's original creation, and it is a typical China Buddhism. Indian Buddhism only has Zen, but there is no Zen. According to legend, Dharma came to the Northern Wei Dynasty from India and proposed a new method of meditation. Dharma passed this meditation on to Hui Ke, and Hui Ke passed it on to monks and ladies, and then preached faith and patience. After Hongren, it was divided into two systems: North and South. Shen Xiubei preached Buddhism and established the Northern Sect; Huineng spread Buddhism to the south and established Nanzong. The Zen show of the Northern Sect has gradually declined in the near future. Huineng's disciple Shenhui and others advocated it, and with the support of moving to the DPRK, he achieved the orthodox status of Zen, thus becoming the mainstream of Buddhism in China, and Huineng became the actual founder of Zen. Due to the six generations from Dharma to Huineng, the traditional old theory regards Dharma as the "ancestor" and Huineng as the "sixth ancestor".

After the establishment of Zen Buddhism, its influence has been expanding and developing, and five sects (Cao Dong, Yunmen, Fayan, Lin Ji and Luyang) have been competing with each other. They not only replaced the status of other sects in China, but also spread abroad. Introduced to Korea in the ninth century; /kloc-was introduced to Japan in the 2nd and 3rd centuries and became the mainstream of Buddhism in these countries. Since then, Zen has spread from East Asia to Southeast Asia, and even to Europe and America. Nowadays, a large number of foreign Buddhists come to Nanhua Temple to worship their ancestors every year.

Nanhua Temple was built in the first year of Tian Liang Prison in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (AD 502). According to historical records, Sanzang Zhile, an Indian monk, went north from Guangzhou and passed through Caoxi in 1998. He suggested building a temple here, because he "scooped up water and drank it, which smells unusual", "looked around the mountains and fell in love with the wonderful scenery" and "looked like a mountain in the western world". After three years in prison, the temple was built, and Liang Wudi named it "Baolin Temple". Later, it was renamed Zhongxing Temple and Fashen Temple, and in the first year of Song Kaibao (AD 968), Song Taizong gave it the name of Nanhua Zen Temple, and the name of the temple has been used ever since.

The present structure of Nanhua Temple was rebuilt in the 23rd year of the Republic of China (1934). It was funded by Li Hanhun, then director of the appeasement office in northwest Guangdong, and presided over by the famous monk Xu Ye. It took ten years to build 243 temples and 690 new statues, making Nanhua Temple the leading Buddhist shrine in Guangdong Province. At present, the building area of the whole temple is1.2000 square meters, and the temple architecture retains the ancient architectural style of China and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis. Enter from the main entrance, followed by Caoximen, Fangshengchi, Baolinmen, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Tibetan Classics Pavilion, Zhao Ling Pagoda, Liuzu Hall and Zhang Fang Room. There are three gold-plated giant buddhas with a height of 8.3 1 m and more than 500 painted sculptures of arhats with four walls in the Hall of Great Heroes, all of which are art treasures. Master Huineng, Master Hanshan and Master Dantian of the Six Ancestors are enshrined in the Hall of the Six Ancestors. Twenty-nine stone carvings are newly embedded in the left and right walls. According to the classic records of Zen Buddhism, there are portraits of twenty-nine Huineng stepmonks, including Nanyue Huairang, Baizhang Huaihai, Mijuan Lingyou, Yangshan Huiji, Linji Yi Xuan and Qumen Wenyan. There is an old tin spring (commonly known as Jiulong Spring) on the right side behind the temple, which is cold all year round. It is said that Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor of that year, often washed clothes here, and Su Shi wrote an inscription for him. In front of the spring, there are nine water pines called "living fossils of plants", which are more than 40 meters high. According to experts' research, it is the tallest water pine in the world, with a tree age of more than 500 years. There are more than 300 national first-class protected cultural relics in Nanhua Temple, such as the true body of the Six Ancestors, the imperial edict of the Tang, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the robe of a thousand buddhas, the hidden gold in the Qing Dynasty, and the iron cast Guanyin.
