Songfeng Xuan Restaurant is one of a few places where you can literally combine eating and sight-seeing and get good results at both. Located about a forty-minute walk from Mount Baiyun's west gate, their second-floor patio section is surrounded by dense trees and a view of the mountain's rippling hills. Even if you dine indoors, you'll find plenty of greenery, along with a colorful carp pond. Song Feng Xuan's cuisine is thoroughly Cantonese, with chicken, pig's feet and tofu among their most popular items. Dim sum and tea are a morning specialty. Most items here go for about 20 to 90 RMB.
**When it's not too busy, Songfeng Xuan Restaurant can send a van to pick you up at the west gate of the mountain. This will allow to enter the park for free, and of course arrive at the restaurant quite a lot faster.
