Visited Beijing road in Guangzhou around 2pm and started exploring the market. I felt market is mostly for food, cloths and shoes. Was pretty much exhausted and explored this Dafo temple. You really have to find out this temple. Its not visible upfront on road....More

Interesting day trip

My hotel is in Jinghong so I just caught the #4 bus right up to the place. It was a way to save money which was good since it cost me 170 rmb entrance fee. That includes a little open minibus ride to the top...More

Majestic especially during night lights

Grand and majestic! One of the most attractive in architecture and super rich in history. It's best is at night seeing the whole temple lighted up will give you the wow factor! Don't forget to drop by the vegetarian restaurant at 1st floor with healthier...More

A tiny island of calm amidst shopping mania

If the pace of the shopping mania that is Beijing Lu gets too much, find this temple with its three large Buddhas and light some joss sticks in the incense burning area in the same way one lights candles in a church. Good example of...More

I get impressed by this ancient temple in the middle of a big commercial aérea as Beijing Road. Like diving in another place many years ago and contemplate the respected statues and spiritual places. You can honour the temple putting some burning incense in the...More

This ancient temple is more than 1000 years. It is located within well-known commercial area of Beijing Road. At its main entrance, visitors are greeted with a laughing Buddha. The original main temple houses 3 big Buddhas made of brass with 6m high and weigh...More

Can't go wrong with Dafo Temple

I am somewhat surprised that Dafo Temple has received little attention on Tripadvisor. I visited the temple on a Tuesday when some sessions were going on. It was quite fascinating to see people practicing Buddhism. The temple has a nice vibe to it, and moreover...More

This temple is in the process of being rebuilt and is having millions of RMB pumped into it. It is quite impressive, but honestly, it lacks character. The large building at the back in a Tang style is enormous, but it will look a lot...More
