Before there was the city of goats, there was Guangxiao

Travel guide. Guangzhou has a saying: Before there was the city of goats, there was Guangxiao. Guangxiao Temple, one of the famous ancient architectural complexes in Guangdong, is located at the north end of Guangxiao Road in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, near Jinghui Road. It is said that praying here is the most efficacious, where one can pray for peace, career, marriage, and education. Seeing this DNA moved me to go to the temple for some financial luck during the break ◾️About worshiping Buddha Guangxiao Temple is now practicing 'flower offerings to Buddha, hands together without kowtowing.' Along the road from the subway exit to Guangxiao Temple, there are many vendors selling fresh flowers, with an average price of 10-15 yuan per bunch. You can also bring them from home, and the temple also sells them. When worshiping Buddha, put your hands together and make a wish, offering a flower after each Buddha is worshiped. It is not recommended to buy water lilies as they attract bees, but lilies and roses (for marriage), cockscombs (for career), carnations (for health), and all-purpose flowers (for various wishes) are suggested. ◾️Buddha worship route Guangxiao Temple emphasizes not taking the same path back. There is a sign at the entrance, and you can follow the marked route clockwise to worship Buddha. If you get lost, don't worry too much, the most important thing is sincerity. ◾️Amulets Following the Buddha worship route, you can see a small wooden hut behind the Thai Buddha Hall, where they sell amulets for education (35 yuan), wealth and career (25 yuan), peace (20 yuan), and marriage (30 yuan), all of which have been consecrated. Queue up according to what you wish for. ◾️Blessing bags (amulets in red envelopes, not to be opened) Wealth: Put the red envelope in the phone case, and the sachet in the bag or at the workstation Marriage: Wear the red string on the wrist, and the sachet in the bag ◾️Fulfilling vows You can prepare some fresh flowers or bring some change to add to the oil lamps, etc. · Other tips ❶The older generation says it's best to worship Buddha in the morning, I was planning to go in the afternoon but changed it to the next morning ❷Be careful not to take photos of the Buddha statues, set your phone to silent, and you can take pictures of some buildings and scenes inside the temple ❸Dress appropriately, do not wear short skirts, shorts, off-shoulder tops, vests, slippers, etc. ❹You can bring paper money, there are incense boxes in each hall where you can make offerings ❺Be aware of scammers at the temple entrance, try not to linger ❻Effective Buddha worship When worshiping Buddha, state your name, ID number, birth date, where you come from, current address, express your wishes, and then bow sincerely ◾️Focus on these three halls for wealth/marriage/health: Garland Hall: For wealth Guanyin Hall: For marriage/children Ksitigarbha Hall: For peace/health Wishing method: State your name/birth date/current residence + specific wish (with a deadline, usually one year) + vow fulfillment time (fulfill the vow within the deadline if the wish is achieved) Wishing everyone's dreams come true and everything goes smoothly Location: No. 109 Guangxiao Road, Yuexiu District Subway: Exit C of Ximenkou Station on Subway Line 1, turn right and go straight Ticket: 5 yuan/person Time: 8:00-16:00 Wishing you continuous good luck!!
