Guangzhou Dafosi Temple｜Spirited Away Bathhouse｜Dafogu Temple

🏮Dafosi Temple, originally built during the Southern Han Dynasty, was initially named 'Xinzang Temple'. It was expanded during the Ming Dynasty and renamed 'Longzang Temple'. In the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Pingnan King Shang Kexi donated and cast three large green steel Buddhas, hence the name 'Dafosi Temple'.
