🪷 Peace in the Heart of the City — Guangzhou Dafo Temple

Just steps from the busy streets near Beijing Road, Guangzhou Dafo Temple (大佛寺) offers a peaceful escape and a glimpse into over 1,000 years of Buddhist history. Originally built in the Southern Han Dynasty, it’s famous for its grand halls, ancient incense burners, and, of course, its three towering gold Buddha statues, each nearly 6 meters tall.

The temple blends history with living tradition — you’ll often see devotees lighting incense, monks chanting sutras, and visitors seeking blessings for health and peace. During festivals, the atmosphere becomes even more vibrant with lanterns, floral displays, and prayer activities.

💡 Tips:
• Located on Huifu East Road, easily reached by metro (Beijing Road or Gongyuanqian Station).
• Modest dress is appreciated.
• Visit in the morning for a quieter, more meditative experience.
