Guiping Xishan (West Mountain) Scenic Area
桂平西山风景名胜区
A national scenic area: a Buddhist mountain 2 kilometers west of the city, where Longhua Temple, Xishi Nunnery and the Milk Spring Well are hidden among ancient trees and unusual rocks.
Xishan lies right next to Guiping's urban area and is known for its 'strange rocks, ancient trees, fragrant tea and sweet spring water.' The mountain has Longhua Temple, Xishi Nunnery, Li Ancestral Hall, the Milk Spring Well and several cliff inscriptions. Xishi Nunnery is an important Buddhist nunnery in Guangxi, and Xishan tea brewed with Milk Spring Well water is a local specialty. The hiking trail from the gate to the summit takes about 1.5 hours. From the top, you can see where the Yu and Qian rivers meet and the city below. Admission is about 50 yuan, and sightseeing buses cost extra. Plan for half a day to a full day, and note that the stone steps are slippery after rain.
