🪷【Dafo Temple · Guangzhou】
Amidst the skyscrapers and hustle and bustle of the big city,
there's a quiet corner filled with the scent of incense—Dafo Temple. 🕊️
This is an ancient temple dating back to the Tang Dynasty.
Three large sandalwood Buddha statues stand in the center of the temple.
The atmosphere is very warm. The soft sounds of chanting mixed with sunlight filtering through the incense smoke, making everything seem still for a moment.
I walked into the temple without intending to pray.
I just felt a sense of "comfort" and "calmness" I hadn't felt in a long time. 🪶
💡 Tips:
Free admission.
Go in the morning around 9:00 AM for beautiful light and fewer people.
Take the subway Line 1 to Gongyuanqian Station (公园前站), Exit B, and walk for just 3 minutes.
