One-Day Tour in Dongguan | Guide to Daling Mountain Elevator Guanyin Temple

| Guide to Daling Mountain Elevator Guanyin Temple. This is the first time I've seen a temple with an elevator, which is truly a blessing for the lazy. The temple is located deep in Daling Mountain in Dongguan, and it is said to have a history of more than 300 years. It is much larger than Hongfa Temple in Shenzhen, and it's both beautiful and photogenic. ⛩️ About the Temple ⛩️ 1. No reservation is required for the temple, but it is recommended to go early as the roads are narrow and it can get congested during peak times. 2. The temple offers a self-service vegetarian meal from 11:00—14:00, for 25💰/person (which includes a 5💰 deposit, refundable in cash if you finish your meal). 3. Incense can be obtained at the entrance for 20💰/bundle, enough to worship all the deities. 4. The temple architecture is magnificent, and it is advised to dress neatly to avoid revealing too much. 5. It is forbidden to take photos of the Buddha statues⚠️, and do not step on the temple threshold❌. 6. Visiting duration: 1～2 hours, with a 🆓 elevator available so it won't be too tiring. If you like taking photos, it might take longer. 7. 300 meters to the right of the temple exit, there is a square lawn where you can see the full view of the Guanyin Temple, and it's a great spot for taking photos of people and scenery. 8. When the visit is almost over, call a taxi in advance to go down the mountain. There are also private cars available (15💰/person, but they only go to the foot of the mountain, which is not worth it❌). 🚌 Transportation: It is recommended to drive there, there is a parking lot 🅿️ 300 meters near the temple. (⚠️ There is no direct bus to the entrance of Guanyin Temple, the park entrance is about 5.3km from Guanyin Temple, and those who like hiking can also choose to walk up.) If you can't drive yourself, you can also refer to my route 🫡 1️⃣ Take the Shenzhen Metro🚇 Line 1 to Songgang Metro Station and exit at Gate G. 2️⃣ At the bus stop 🚌 outside the exit, take the "Guangshen 001" to "Fashion Electric Appliance Station" in Dongguan. (You can check the bus arrival time on the little 🍊🤫 "The Bus is Coming" app, with a bus every 20 minutes, 8💰/person, and it takes about half an hour to reach the stop. 🚌 The bus runs from 6:00——20:30.) 3️⃣ After getting off the bus, take a taxi directly to "Daling Mountain Forest Park Guanyin Temple". The taxi can drive up there, and it costs about 30💰. ⛩️ Location: Daling Mountain Forest Park Guanyin Temple 📍 Detailed Address: Guanyin Temple, Daling Mountain Forest Park, Humen Town, Dongguan City 🎫 Temple Ticket: 🆓 🈺 Business Hours: 8:00—18:00 (No entry after 17:30⚠️)
