Traveler reviews
Julian Wong
★★★★★6 months agoA very big temple that is worth your visit. It is next to the popular Beijing Road walking street so it is more of a reason to stop over to check it out. The best time is to go in the evening, see it the daylight, have a meal nearby and come back for the night scene. The temple is brightly lit up making the top sight in Guangzhou.
Deacon Ho
★★★★★a year agoBeautiful temple. I visited both during the day and at night. The lighting and vibes were excellent. You can head inside to offer your prays and donations. You can also buy some merchandise like talismans. The temple has lifts and a staircase for you to visit, but not many people know this. There is even a library inside with many interesting literature! It is definitely worth a visit, but better visit when there aren't many people!
