How to get to Xiqiao Mountain (Kwan Yin Statue)
Hi. I'm travelling to Guangzhou and wish to visit Foshan on a day trip. My current plan is to take the Guangzhou Metro to Zumiao station to visit Foshan Ancestral Temple (Huang Feihong Memorial Hall & Ip Man Hall). After that I wish to visit Xiqiao Mountain. I tried to google but can't find clear instructions on how to get there. From what I found, it is possible to get there from Foshan Ancestral Temple, Kuiqi Road station and Tongji Road station by bus, but failed to find details on the journey. Would appreicate if anyone can help. Thanks a lot in advance.
You could take Line 1 Tourist Bus, from Zumiao to Xiqiao Mountain, for about 1.5 hours.
The bus info is here (in Chinese): https://foshan.8684.cn/x_626b5a14
I notice Google map does not show this line, but Baidu Maps shows it (in Chinese)
Hi Modoki,
May I know Zumiao Temple is Stop 6 祖庙B站 or Stop 7 祖庙路?
And which stop should i get off for Xiqiao Mountain that is nearest to the Kwan Yin Statue? Saw a few stops with 西樵 in the name but not sure which to stop.
Thanks.
My mistake. I didn't realize Xiqiao Mountain had two entrances. The one I mentioned above was farther. Ignore it please.
From Zumiao, take metro to Kuiqi Lu station 魁奇路, C exit. There you take 227a bus (魁奇路) to 西樵山北枢纽站: https://foshan.8684.cn/x_9f3c538f
Since you can read Chinese, you could use Baidu Map yourself. Within China Baidu Map is good. I use it to check transportation for myself as well.
1./Take the metro Guangfo Line (New City East direction,3 stations) to
Kuiqi Road Station (C exit)
2.walk about 100 meters from Kuiqi Road Station (C exit) to Liri Haoting bus Station
Take the bus, #227a (26 stations) and Get off at Xiqiao Mountain North Station
Or you just take a taxi there , it easy and fast .
Modoki, I can read limited Chinese, so am trying to find out as much as possible before the trip.But thanks for the Baidu suggestion. I will try to play around with it. Thanks.
YuyaGNG, Thanks so much for the info. I should be taking the bus from 丽日豪庭 and stop at 西樵山北枢纽站(登山大道) right? Will I be able to take the same bus from 西樵山北枢纽站(登山大道) back to 丽日豪庭 for my return trip?
Edited: 6 years agoYes, you should take the metro Guangfo Line广佛线 (New City East direction新城东方向,3 stations坐3个站) to
Kuiqi Road Station魁奇路站 (C exit C 出口)
walk about 100 meters from Kuiqi Road Station 魁奇路站(C exit) to Liri Haoting bus Station丽日豪庭站
Take the bus, #227a (26 stations) and Get off at Xiqiao Mountain North Station 西樵山北枢纽站(登山大道)
It is the same bus #227a from 西樵山北枢纽站(登山大道) back to Kuiqi Road Station 魁奇路站 for your return trip .
iIs it easy to find taxi to go from zumiao (Foshan Ancestral Temple (Huang Feihong Memorial Hall & Ip Man Hall) to Xiqiao Mountain (Kwan Yin Statue)? Any idea how much will it cost?
