This is probably the most obscure temple farthest from the city center: Donghai Guanyin Temple

Donghai Guanyin Temple is really far away, with few people and quiet. It's next to the Fisherman's Wharf, and you can get to the seaside by passing a wind and rain bridge from the temple gate. I like the combination of the tower and the windmill, which gives a sense of interaction between tradition and modernity. The green belt of the temple has cute little monks. You will find one inadvertently, which is very interesting. I think this can be considered a feature of this temple. Only a few lotus flowers have bloomed, and most of them are still buds. 'The lotus just shows its sharp corners', it's a pity that I didn't see the dragonfly, maybe it was because the sun was too big that day. Now the temple is under the second phase of construction, and it was a bit messy when I went. Buddhism is really keeping up with the times, linking the doctrine with the core values of socialism. PS: If you drive there, there are many free parking spaces on the small road at the temple gate and the outside Jinhuitang Road, so you don't need to park in the Fisherman's Wharf parking lot, which is not free.
