Lonely Planet review for Orchid Garden

Across from Yuexiu Park on Jiefang Beilu is the charming Orchid Garden famous for its blossoming orchids. With its winding paths, arched stone bridges and willow-fringed ponds, you may forget you're even in Guǎngzhōu. Each admission ticket includes a pot of tea at one of the many teahouses, and if you pay Y20, you can see a traditional tea ceremony.

The western edge of the park sits on the site an old Muslim cemetery, supposedly the burial site of Abu Waqas, the uncle of the Prophet, who is credited with bringing Islam to China. His tomb is in a plain stone building oriented towards Mecca. The cemetery is currently closed to non-Muslims.
