Re: the Lotus Hill
The lotus Hill is a place for buddhism worship, as well as tourist attraction. Around 1 hours driving from downtown Guangzhou, it locates in the southeastern part of Panyu district which is along the pearl river estuary. It once was the place for quarry in hundreds of years ago, leaving the trace nowadays a very special scenery if you see from the side of the hill.
