What travelers are saying
- Your Travel Buddy SGSingapore, Singapore13,058 contributionsFoshan Ancestral Temple aka. Foshan Zumiao is a Daoist temple in Foshan, Guangdong, China. It is a national AAAA tourist attraction approved by the China National Tourism Administration, covering an area of 25,000 square metres (270,000 sq ft). Foshan Ancestral Temple captures a million visitors at home and abroad every year with its well preserved ancient construction complex and its luxuriant folk culture. Foreign leaders and celebrities of various counties are frequent visitors to the temple.
It was first built in the Song dynasty during the reign of Emperor Zhezong, in the Yuanfeng Era (1078-1085), but was ruined towards the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the 5th year of the Hongwu Era of the Ming Dynasty (1372). The temple is dedicated to Beidi (the "Northern God"), a Cantonese form of the "Dark Warrior" Xuanwu, who is said to have power over the waters of Guangdong.
After the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the temple was converted into Foshan Municipal Museum and listed as one of the main cultural relics under the preservation by the Guangdong provincial government.

The former residence of a Qing-era literati, it is nicely restored to its former grandeur. Wandering around the pleasant lakes and houses is enjoyable.

- Greg StevensSydney, Australia1,623 contributionsWe travelled from Guangzhou on the subway, after changing 3 lines, the final stop was Jurong Beilu station! Then it’s a 15 minute walk to the park!
Shunfeng Moutain Park, a total area of 911.32 acres, relying on the unique natural environment of "two mountains and two lakes" (Taping Mountain, Shenbu Mountain, Guipan Lake, and Qingyun Lake). It highlights the construction theme of " Beautiful Scenery"and it fully integrates into the local profound culture, history as well as Lingnan characteristics.
Natural and human landscape has been formed by ancient monuments, temples , classical garden-stvle pavilions and park.
You can climb up to Qingyun Pagoda!
On the way back to the subway, if you travel one stop to Dongle Lu station, just outside at the Dong Cheng Hotel, you can have some traditional Shunde Yum Cha or main courses!Written January 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Majid K11 contributionsI came here 10 years ago, not looking as good as it was back then but still that massive statue of Bruce lee is something, not much else to see... I'm just annoyed i lost my drone due to some error, the security guards were helpful, didn't find it... But overall with it being my 2nd visit I still love the placeWritten October 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel LLaguna Niguel, CA219 contributionsWhen we arrived in the morning, the crowd was very manageable. The boys and I, I have two boys under the age of 6, were able to go on ride after ride with virtually no wait. Naturally, as the day carried on the crowd grew exponentially, and by mid afternoon it was a circus.
Overall, this was a great little place for the kids to visit. We were just at HK Disney last week, and they probably had more fun here because there were more rides for them and less restrictions. The short lines in the beginning of the day helped too. The zoo was great too because they got to feed the camels, hippos, deer and even pigs. I can't say I'm too fond of the way a lot of the guests treated the animal, but I also know there's a lot of ignorance in their knowledge about wild life.
This is a good little place to spend the day if you have small kids. But speaking mandarin is almost a necessity because it's such a local attraction. It's very China with the crowds, the smoking and the lack of certain western ethics; however, it's nothing that's out of the norm.Written January 30, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
