Visited the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (Liurong Temple) and really enjoyed it! This Buddhist temple has such a long history, built in AD 537. The atmosphere is super tranquil and peaceful, a nice escape from the busy city. One of the highlights is definitely the massive bronze statue of Buddha, said to be the largest in Guangdong, weighing around 10 tons and dating back to the Qing dynasty. It’s incredibly impressive up close. Overall, it’s a beautiful, serene spot with a lot of history and calm energy — definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful temple. Calm, peaceful, quiet and not overcrowded even on a Sunday morning. No entry fee. Surrounding streets are full of old eateries and shops selling all kinds of clothes, shoes etc for bargain prices.

The temple is full of lotus. The main pagoda is the focus of the attraction. It demonstrates a solemn and sacred atmosphere with Buddha statues.

Since AD 537, it burned down & rebuilt during the Northern Song dynasty, when Su Shi composed a poem "Six Banyans" (Liu Rong) in honor of a visit to the temple & since renamed in honor of the famous poem. The Flower Pagoda, main structure of the temple, was built in 1097 & was named for its colorful exterior. The structure that had been there before had a square base, but the Flower Pagoda was designed with an octagonal one. It was rebuilt again in 1373 after another fire in the early Ming dynasty period and restored in 1900...

This is a lovely temple with huge breezy courtyard . I admire the tall pagoda inside. When I entered the compound, I felt a wave of serenity wash over me. After performing my prayers, I walked around the compound. There are many people sitting around and doing nothing but enjoying the peaceful vibes around them. The entrance to this temple is free and there is a clean, public restroom here as well.

A beautiful old Buddhist temple/monastery. Beautiful architecture. Well kept and clean. A must when in Guangzhou. Easy to reach via cab and easy to get a cab from the temple too.

Very nice and calm location, when visit please keep your voice down. I have sitter myself there to rest and enjoy the breez air and calmness in the garden. Some even bring their own teapot and relax there. Do bear in mind you are not allowed to take photos inside the temple.
