Nansha Tianhou Palace

Located at the southeastern foot of Dajiao Mountain in Nansha District, Guangzhou, the Nansha Tianhou Palace was originally the Tianfei Temple in the Ming Dynasty's Nansha Lujiao Village. After several renovations over the generations, it has expanded to its current size, with the overall architecture reflecting the Qing Dynasty style. The buildings of the Tianhou Palace are staggered up the mountain, with splendid halls and majestic pavilions. In the center of Tianhou Square stands the stone statue of the holy Tianhou, built to commemorate the sea goddess Lin Mo. The architectural features combine the style of the Forbidden City in Beijing with the grandeur of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. It is the largest of its kind in the world today and is known as the 'Foremost Tianhou Palace under Heaven'. It is also the largest Mazu temple in Southeast Asia.

The Nansha Mazu Temple is located at the southeast foot of Dajiao Mountain, adjacent to the Lingding Ocean where Wen Tianxiang left his poems of conviction, and faces Dongguan City across the sea. Its architectural scale is unrivaled among similar structures, earning it the reputation of 'The supreme Mazu Temple in the world.' As the goddess of China's coastal areas, most coastal residents believe in her and specifically come here to experience the profound religious culture of the Mazu Temple. In the past, traveling from Guangzhou's main urban area to the Nansha Mazu Temple always felt very far, but now it has become very convenient to get there by taking the Metro Line 4 to the Nansha Passenger Port Station and walking about 800 meters after exiting the station. This is also the only sea route from Guangzhou to the ocean. Following the river downstream from here leads to the Lingding Ocean, where Wen Tianxiang wrote a famous poem called 'Crossing the Lingding Ocean,' referring to the very Lingding Ocean here. The Nansha Mazu Temple is the largest Mazu temple in Southeast Asia, and the entire temple exudes a transcendent and extraordinary aura. The high-level temple plaza is also an excellent platform for sea viewing, offering a panoramic view of the magnificent seascape at the mouth of the Pearl River, with a very impressive visual effect. Where there is faith, there is devotion. Mazu protects the people and ships around Nansha. What remains is not only mythological stories but also the profound connection between the believers and Mazu, continuing the traditional Chinese cultural customs. If you pay attention to the information about the Mazu Temple in advance, grand ceremonies will be held for the Heavenly Queen on important festival days, such as the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. For those interested in Mazu, no matter how good the pictures and texts are, they are not as good as personally visiting and truly experiencing the charm of Mazu culture. With such convenient transportation, why not take a trip?

I really like to go to a place with a good natural environment around Guangzhou for a break, I went to Nansha a few days ago and found a small popular treasure camping spot near Tianhou Palace. We entered Puzhou Garden Park from Tianhou Palace beach, the road was like what Li Bai described as 'looking back on the path we came, it was lush and green'. As we walked, we saw a fairy-tale-like cabin, Guangzhou's autumn is very suitable for camping, especially when there is a beautiful lawn and a good environment, so we rented a tent on the spot. This place is particularly suitable for tourists like me who are afraid of trouble, there are ready-made ingredients and kitchenware here, we ordered a set meal for 188/person, there are a total of 12 kinds of ingredients including steak, lamb chops, prawns, squid, etc., we had to hold our stomachs and go back at night. The campsite manager is very hospitable, we can also sing a wild K here at night, next time we can bring the company's colleagues to team building here, because it is very beautiful here, the photos are very good, the company's little sister is very good at taking pictures, unlike the husband who is unwilling to take pictures for me.
