Definitely worth the visit. Tho the place is very crowded during the weekend, I suggest going on weekdays for a less crowd and better pictures .It's a bit far from the metro station approximately 15 minutes walk,maybe take a bus instead or a taxi. Very historic and the temple looks nice on the inside too . You can pray inside it and give your offerings.It was a nice experience.

When people think of Wuhan, they think of Covid so on my trip there I wanted to see what the city really had to offer. I found Europe, so many parts with Spain or German influence around in Wuhan. I visited this temple on a whim and with standard China temple thoughts in mind. It’s free to enter, but you must wear a mask and show a health code. At the gate you will meet some locals who look after the area, in particular the plants. You can also donate money as you first enter if you wish. The temple area isn’t huge but it does give Cathedral vibes. You can walk around inside the 2 buildings but you’ll also find many other people there to take photos. I went in the morning and it was pretty quiet and empty. I took a taxi from my hotel over in Jiang’an area to Gude Temple and it took roughly 10 minutes to arrive. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #wuhan #wuhantravel #temples

📍 Good Temple Transportation: Take a taxi Address: No. 74, Huapo Road, Huangpu Avenue, Jiang'an District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province Recommendation: 4.5⭐ After having breakfast at the hotel on the second day, take a taxi directly to the Good Temple. The archway outside the Good Temple looks very much like a certain community, and after paying 13 yuan for incense money via WeChat at the entrance, you can enter. Attention! It is not recommended to wear too open~ As a Buddhist temple, the Good Temple is quite special. Because it is built in the style of ancient Roman architecture, with a mix of Greek temple style. It is said to be modeled after the Ananda Temple in Myanmar, incorporating features of Eurasian religious architecture, and is one of the only two remaining Buddhist buildings of this style in the world. Early in the morning, there were many people taking photos in the main hall, I found a side spot, set up my gimbal on the edge of the flower bed, and took some photos~
