Liuzu Temple in Sihui, Zhaoqing It was winter when I came, and the weather was cold. The pictures have not been processed, all are original pictures, but there are still many people, and the incense in Liuzu Temple is still good. The temple is very big, and I saw a high-rise Buddhist college under construction inside the temple. You can also buy incense outside the temple and bring it inside. There are also Buddhist hotels around for overnight stays, so there must be quite a lot of outsiders coming here to cultivate their bodies and minds. It is recommended to come in the morning, feed the pigeons, and have morning tea directly after burning incense.
