This small temple hidden in Dapeng, Dongshan Temple
I recommend you must go
🌳Recommendation reason
✔️Dongshan Temple was built in the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. The feng shui master Lai Buyi traveled to Dapeng Bay and passed by Dongshan Longtou Stone Mountain. He found that there was a purple glow here, which is a sign of auspiciousness. He told the local villagers that this is a blessed place. Building a temple here can ensure peace in the area, so Dongshan Temple was built.
✔️Dongshan Temple has a history of more than 600 years.
It has undergone three renovations in history.
The first renovation was in the Xianfeng year of the Qing Dynasty.
The second time was in 1993, when local people and compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao, as well as overseas Chinese, spontaneously donated more than one million yuan for the second renovation of Dongshan Temple.
In 2009, the third renovation was carried out.
✔️There is a small pavilion at the entrance of Dongshan Temple where you can ask for incense.
✔️Here you can't hear the noise of the crowd, it's incredibly quiet, you can only hear the chanting of the scriptures brought by the breeze, it's really healing.
✔️The architecture inside is in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Every brick and tile, wall color surface, and relief auspicious beasts are very exquisite. The beauty of Chinese architecture is fully displayed, and it's really beautiful to take pictures.
✔️It takes about 1 hour to visit.
✔️When you come out of Dongshan Temple, you can walk to Dapeng Suocheng in about ten minutes to the right. There is no need to go there specially, you can stop by.
✔️Across from the ancient city is the seaside of Jiaochangwei, about a 10-minute walk away. Going to the seaside to see the sea is really healing.
🌳Visiting tips:
✔️Don't wear a tank top or short skirt/shorts.
✔️When visiting, be careful not to step on the threshold.
✔️Try not to bring very small babies into the temple. If you can avoid it, don't bring them. The father saw that it was a temple at the door, and decisively took the baby out.
✔️There are two reasons:
❶The expressions of the statues in the temple are not always friendly, and children will be scared and may cry when they come back at night.
❷Children are too young and it's hard to control them in the temple. Some will run around and wander, step on the threshold, or shout loudly in the main hall, which is very disturbing to others. So my suggestion is, if possible, it's best not to bring children in.
✔️Be reverent and try not to take pictures of Buddha statues. I usually put away my phone when I enter the temple and be devout.
