Located on the busy and lively Beijing Road in Guangzhou, this Buddhist temple stands as one of the most popular tourist attractions. Dafo Temple was originally built during the Southern Han Dynasty when Emperor Gaozu, a devout Buddhist and lover of palace architecture, constructed seven temples in Guangzhou to correspond with the twenty-eight constellations in the sky. These temples were collectively known as the 'Southern Han Twenty-Eight Temples.' The present Dafo Temple was formerly known as Xinzang Temple, one of the original twenty-eight temples, which gradually fell into disrepair over time. Although we are not Buddhists, we have been deeply impressed by its architectural design and layout from cultural, historical, and philosophical perspectives over the years. The temple grounds are vast, offering plenty of space to explore. If you visit at night, the temple is beautifully illuminated, presenting a different, more splendid view that is perfect for photography. Address: 21 Huixin Middle Street, Huifu East Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou Cost: Free admission

Dafuangzhou Temple For those who are planning to travel to Guangzhou, you must go to pray for blessings. Because it is located in the famous tourist area, Beijing Road. It has the atmosphere of the night street of the people in that area. There are a lot of food. And the temple is very beautiful, very magnificent. Open late, so tourists who walk on the street at night can stop by to pray. There is also a shop that rents amulets. For those who are looking for a beautiful area in Guangzhou, you must go.

🏰 Dafo Temple was originally built during the Southern Han Dynasty (917-971), initially named Xinzang Temple, and was later destroyed by war. In 1663, the second year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the Prince of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, rebuilt the temple on the old site and renamed it Dafo Temple to pacify the people. ✅ The temple's Grand Hall houses three giant Buddha statues, each 6 meters tall and weighing 10 tons, made of bronze (Shakyamuni Buddha in the center, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra). It is said that 'as people pass by Dafo Temple, the temple's Buddha surpasses them in size,' making it the crown jewel of Lingnan's grand temples and grand Buddhas. 🌟 The giant nanmu pillars used in the main hall were donated by the king of Annam (present-day Vietnam) and have remained intact for nearly 350 years. The temple's architectural art is a blend of the official temple style of the capital and Lingnan style. ✨ The Nanhai Guanyin Hall enshrines a 10-meter-tall bronze statue of Guanyin, exquisitely carved and vividly portrayed. 🛕 The temple also preserves ancient wells, bells, and trees, which, having withstood the test of time, exude a particularly ancient charm. ⏰ Opening hours: 8:00~21:30, free admission, no reservation needed. 📍 Address and transportation 🚘: ❇️ No. 21, Huixin Middle Street, Huifu East Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province (usually worshippers enter from the south gate on Huifu East Road and exit from the north gate on Xihu Road, which is the best spot for checking in and taking photos) 🚝 A few minutes' walk from Exit D of Gongyuanqian Station on Subway Lines 1/2 or Exit B of Beijing Road Station on Line 6. ❣️ Touring tips: Incense can be offered in the Grand Hall, with three sticks of free incense per person! There are merit boxes in the temple (QR code payment available), and you can also pay to light lamps for blessings (starting at 10 yuan each) or write blessing cards. The temple houses the first temple library in Guangdong Province, which interested friends can visit. There are many temple-related items for sale at the exit, where you can buy peace charms and prayer beads. The vegetarian food here is also famous; there is a vegetarian buffet restaurant on the negative first floor of Pu Jue Building, 108 yuan per person on weekdays, and 138 yuan per person on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. Dongge Building's second floor has a vegetarian pavilion where you can order dishes and eat set meals. The lighting time is from 19:00 to 21:00. As the lights come on at dusk, the illuminated buildings make visitors feel as if they are in Hayao Miyazaki's animation 'Spirited Away'. When visiting the temple, do not make loud noises, take photos of the architectural environment only, and do not photograph the Buddha statues!

Went to Beijing Road in Guangzhou for food and shopping over the weekend, and took a series of photos of the illuminated Dafo Temple at night, along with the nearby trees that were also in full bloom. It was truly beautiful! 🌸🌸🌸 Lots of people were taking pictures, click, click, click~ I also snapped a few shots of the Dafo Temple from different angles. Just a tip, the lights don't come on until 7 pm and last until 9 pm, so if you like to capture night scenes of the Dafo Temple, keep an eye on the time. I heard that the opening hours of the Dafo Temple are from 8 am to 7:30 pm, and some people go in to burn incense and worship Buddha. It's best not to take pictures of the Buddha statues, though! I learned that the Dafo Temple was originally built during the Southern Han Dynasty and has a history of over a thousand years. Now, with the night lights, the Dafo Temple has an ancient Tang Dynasty vibe, and some even say it's like a real-life Spirited Away! What do you think?

In the pedestrian street of Beijing Road, which is lined with commercial buildings in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, there is a large Buddhist temple built during the Southern Han Dynasty. This ancient temple has gone through thousands of years and is still very popular. It is the "Crown of Lingnan" among Buddhist temples✨️. It enshrines three statues of the Third Buddha, and many important rituals are performed here. Don't think it's "ancient". The Great Buddha Temple adopts high-tech technology to withstand wind and rain erosion. Even if the temple is open all year round, it can still maintain its solemnity and beauty, making it a rare pure land in the busy city. There were originally 28 Buddhist temples in total🪔. Because Liu Gong, the founder of the Southern Han Dynasty, believed in Buddhism, he built seven Buddhist temples in the southeast, northwest and four corners of Guangzhou. To correspond to the number of the twenty-eight stars in the sky, they were called the "Twenty-eight Temples of the Southern Han Dynasty"🔍The predecessor of the Great Buddha Temple It is one of them, called "Xinzang Temple"🏮🏮. The Great Buddha Temple not only has aura, but also has "popularity". The Great Buddha Temple has the only library in a Buddhist temple in Guangdong Province📖📚, which is free and open all year round. All are welcome to come in and read books🔍📖📜 #Guangzhou Attractions # Travel Expert # weekend travel # Overseas Travel #trip #tourist attractions #广州 #广州游 #北上好狠地 #广州好狠地

It is a night market. If you come to Guangzhou, you must come here. It feels like Siam in our country. The later it gets, the more people there are. There is the very beautiful Dafu Temple. If it is dark and the lights are on, it is really beautiful. You should go see it with your own eyes. It is surrounded by shopping malls and plazas. It is really beautiful both outside and inside the temple. There is a big Buddha statue inside, but they do not allow taking pictures. There are many food shops. There are many Thai restaurants. But why eat Thai food here? You must go to the first mala shop, which is like a sausage with a lot of people queuing up. When you eat the sausage, you feel that it has very little flour (unlike the sausage in our country that is full of flour, lol). There is also stinky tofu that many people like, but I personally read the reviews and decided not to try it, lol. If anyone has a chance to go to Guangzhou, you must go to Beijing Road. #Guangzhou
