Tourism

Xiqiao Mountain is a beautiful scenic spot boasting of a massive metallic sitting Buddha Statue (called the Nanhai Guanying Bhusa). It can be reached by an hour's hike from the foot of the hill or by car. Evening times are less crowded, and cheaper to visit. It is especially beautiful when illuminated in the dark.
