✨ Daci Temple Review
Upon entering the temple, you'll feel a tranquil atmosphere, completely different from the outside world. Despite its central location, the temple retains the shade of large trees and traditional Chinese architecture. Inside, the temple houses a chapel, pagodas, pavilions, and beautifully enshrined Buddha images. Perfect for strolling, taking photos, and simply enjoying a moment of peace and quiet.
An interesting feature is the temple's popular teahouse and vegetarian restaurant, perfect for those looking to experience the Buddhist way of life.
