The yellow bell flowers at Guangzhou's Guangxiao Temple are truly beautifulVisiting the temple for prayers is a must every New Year. This year, the yellow bell flowers at Guangxiao Temple are simply stunning! 💐 Flower Viewing Guide: The yellow bell flowers are located in a separate small courtyard on the right side after entering the temple. The restroom is also on that side. It is recommended to finish worshipping at the temple first, then go to enjoy the flowers. 📷 It's a bit crowded. You can take pictures at 2x speed or look for a good angle. The flowers are still blooming beautifully now, but viewing the flowers is secondary. The most important thing is to go to the temple to absorb the spiritual energy, with a focus on sincerity. Friends who want to go should hurry up.Nina Hodkiewicz2

Before there was the city of goats, there was GuangxiaoTravel 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!!

Compared to Zhou Tou Zhu, I recommend the Golden Trumpet Trees here even moreGuangxiao Temple, located in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China, is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Guangzhou. Founded in 537 AD, Guangxiao Temple has a history of over 1,500 years and is an important historical and cultural heritage of Guangzhou, as well as a significant sacred site for Buddhism in southern China. Now, the Golden Trumpet Trees in the temple are in full bloom, and those golden flowers really give off a sense of radiance🌟 By the lotus pond in the temple, the Golden Trumpet Trees sway gently in the spring breeze like a series of wind chimes. The blooming period of the Golden Trumpet Trees is very short, only about 10-15 days. Also, don't forget that the kapok flowers in the temple are also starting to bloom one after another. The flowers are now blooming particularly densely, feeling even more enchanting than those in Zhou Tou Zhu Park and Mo Die Sha Park.

In 2023, the epidemic prevention and control was released, and Guangzhou Guangxiao Temple was finally opened normally! At the beginning of the New Year, there was a sea of people, but the management was in order. Everyone also queued up civilizedly to enter the venue. The scene could not be fragrant on the fire, and there were a lot of flowers! The overall feeling is better! 👍👍👍
Guangxiao Temple is located at the north end of Guangxiao Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. According to historical records, it was originally the former residence of Zhao Jiande, the king of Nanyue, in 200 BC. Wu Qidu, the three kingdoms, lived here to lecture, and opened it as a garden. The family house was used as a temple, and the first name was stopped. The name of the temple was changed many times in the later generations, until the Southern Song Dynasty called Bao En Guangxiao Temple, and soon after the word was changed to the word Guangxiao Temple, which is known as the Guangxiao Temple. The architectural structure of Guangxiao Temple is rigorous, the temple is majestic, and the whole complex has distinctive Lingnan architectural characteristics, which is the crown of the Lingnan jungle. There are many cultural relics in the temple. When you walk in Guangzhou, you must go to the first temple in Lingnan to see and worship. As soon as you enter the door, you will be shocked by its magnificent buildings and solemn atmosphere. As a key cultural relics protection unit in the country, there is no open fire burning incense here, and it is true that the heart is replaced by a large number of flowers to worship Buddha.
Guangxiao Temple is the longest and most influential temple hall in Lingnan. Its magnificent and magnificent architectural structure is meticulous and rigorous. It shows the essence of Chinese Zen culture. The Daxiong Palace, which was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is the main building hall. Among the three statues built in the hall, around Sakyamuni is Manjusri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva. On the west side of Daxiong Palace, where the Tibetan King Bodhisattva and Guan Sheng Emperor are unique in Guangdong Buddhism, there is also a hall dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha's lying face, which is carved from white jade in Myanmar and is 4 meters long and 6 tons heavy. The Nirvana statue of Sakyamuni is carved with six Buddhist ancestors, Huineng, who worshipped Buddhism before the solemn Buddha's lying down, feels that there is a Buddhist tradition of Bodhisattva tree outside the solemn hall. Before that, there was a plague tower, which was a pavilion-like brick tower with eight-cornered seven stories and seven stories high. It was built in the Tang Dynasty by Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Huineng, where his hair was cut and buried after he was disciplined. The ancient pagoda of Sui and Tang Dynasty was one of the few precious cultural relics preserved in China so far. Many believers circled around three times and prayed ten times.
Guangxiao Temple in Guangzhou is located in the old street of Yuexiu District. It's very quiet. It doesn't need tickets. Even incense is provided. You just need to come with a piece of sincerity. It has a long history and is the place where the Six Zen Masters acquired the Tao. There are not many visitors, and the correspondents come and go familiarly, which makes people feel very comfortable. There's also a restaurant in it. Free meals are available if you don't eat and visit, but don't waste them!
