Located 34km from Guangzhou, Shiling Town boasts a rich history dating back to the Qing Dynasty and a unique name meaning “Lion Ridge” due to its mountain landscape. Once a farming community, Shiling transformed in the 1970s into a major Chinese leather production center, now home to over 8,000 enterprises and brands like Guess & Coach. Beyond industry, explore the Pangu Temple (rebuilt 1901) – a historic site with healing springs and vibrant festivals – and enjoy the growing tourism focused on local culture & mountains.Wikipedia
