Guangxiao Temple

Guangxiao Temple, one of Guangdong's famous ancient buildings, is located near Jinghui Road at the north end of Guangxiao Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. According to the "Guangxiao Temple Zhi", it was originally the former residence of Zhao Jiande, the Nanyue king of the second century BC. In the Three Kingdoms era, Wu Guoxuan lived here, and was named Yuanxuan. After the death of Yuan, the family house was called a temple. The name of the temple has been changed several times. The first name stopped the temple. The five-year (401) in Long'an, Dongjin, called Wuyuan Temple, the Tang Dynasty called Ganming Faxing Temple, the five-generation Nanhan Dynasty called Ganheng Temple, the Northern Song Dynasty called Wanshou Temple, the Southern Song Dynasty called the Enguangxiao Temple, and soon changed the Guangzi to Guangzi. It was renamed Guangxiao Temple. The temple is a rigorous structure and magnificent temple, especially the cultural relics and historical sites. Such as the Daxiong Temple built in the East Jin Dynasty, the washing springs dug by Damo in the Southern Dynasty, the Ephrase Tower, the Shijing Building, the Thousand Buddha Tower in the Southern Han Dynasty, the Six-Zudian Temple in the Song and Ming Dynasty, the Reclining Buddha Temple, as well as inscriptions, Buddha statues, dumpling trees, Bodhi trees, etc., are precious relics of Buddhism.

It is rare to have such a magnificent ancient temple in the southern city of the motherland. There are many ancient buildings in the temple, such as the Great Hall, the Ancient Tower, the Iron Tower, the Bodhi Tree, etc., which are worthy of being a key national cultural relics protection unit.

Guangzhou Tourism ｜ The millennium ancient temple hidden at the west gate has not come to Guangxiao Temple for a long time. I took advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday to stroll around, and actually entered the park. I slowly admired this millennium ancient temple! As the former residence of Zhao Jiande, the king of Nanyue, has a long history, a majestic temple, and many cultural relics. My most interested is the ancient Bodhi tree in front of the Liuzu Hall 🌲, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng! After shopping in the hot street 🥵 Spicy, let me have a bottle of Guanzhan collagen flower glue 🍮, and eat the skin 💆‍♀️ and become full and tight! 🏠 Attractions: Guangxiao Temple 🚘 Address: No. 109 Guangxiao Road #Guangzhou Tourism

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! 👍👍👍

光孝寺位于广东省广州市越秀区光孝路北端。据史料记载，此处初为公元前200年南越王赵建德故宅。三国吴骑都尉虞翻谪居于此讲学，辟为苑囿。虞翻逝，家人舍宅作寺，初名制止寺。后历代多次更改寺名，直至南宋称报恩广孝寺，不久后改广字为光字，名光孝寺至今。光孝寺建筑结构严谨，殿宇雄伟壮观，整个建筑群具有鲜明的岭南建筑特色，为岭南丛林之冠。寺内文物史迹众多，行走广州，一定要去岭南第一名刹光孝寺走走看看拜一拜。进门一刹那，就被它的宏伟建筑群和庄严气氛所震撼。作为全国重点文物保护单位，这里没有明火烧香，代之以大片鲜花礼佛，心意诚然。
