Shenzhen Bao'an Shiyan's "Most Lonely" Temple

By the lake, few people and peaceful Built against the mountain, living by the lake No crowds coming and going No commercial atmosphere Only the shadows of trees swaying and the fragrance of flowers with birds singing A rare quiet place in Shenzhen Suitable for worship, praying for blessings, and seeking inner peace Hongyuan Temple, originally named Wushi Temple, was built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. It is the most prosperous branch temple of Hongfa Temple, located by Shiyan Lake, built against the mountain. It has three main halls and six bell towers, with one bell tower on each side of every main hall, arranged symmetrically. The three main halls are distributed front to back, from low to high, ascending the mountain. You can burn incense and make wishes here, or enjoy a spiritual cleansing journey in the tranquility. "Between working and striving, I chose to offer incense." Whether visiting temples or experiencing nature, it is essentially a spiritual remedy for contemporary young people to resist burnout. PS: The temple offers vegetarian meals, and the opening hours are 11 AM and 5 PM. (On the day we visited, a weekday, it might not have opened in the morning due to fewer visitors.) ｜Address｜ Inside Shiyan Lake Hot Spring Resort, Shenzhen ｜Transportation｜ By car: Navigate directly to "Hongyuan Temple Parking Lot" By subway: Exit Shangwu Station on Line 6, then about a 10-minute taxi ride to the temple
