Dapeng Dongshan Temple

Dongshan Temple has a long history, a strong spirit, and full of righteousness. Please incense and follow the fate, a couplet in the Palace of Heavenly Kings The mind is the Buddha. The Buddha is the mind, that is, the Buddha wants the Buddha to seek the mind first, and the result has a cause, a result, a result, a cause, a seed, and a result. There is also the writing of the Budai monk, planting green seedlings in the field, lowering your head and seeing the sky in the water, the pure heart is the way, and the step backward is forward.

It is located to the east of Pengcheng Village, Sub-district Office, Dapeng Town, Shenzhen, on the mountainside on the south side of Longtou Shishan, overlooking Daya Bay, backed by mountains and facing the sea, and the scenery is very elegant and beautiful. Covers an area of 4000 square meters. Dongshan Temple was built in Hongwu Erqi (AD 1394) in the Ming Dynasty. A generation of feng shui masters wandered around Dapeng Bay and passed by Dongshan Longtou Stone Mountain. He discovered that there was a purple glow in the area, which was an auspicious light, so he told the local villagers that it was In the resort, a temple was built here to keep one side safe, so Dongshan Temple was built. The history of Dongshan Temple has been rebuilt three times. The first restoration was in the spring of the fourth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1854). Now on the archway in front of the temple, there is an inscription "Jiayinchun rebuilt in the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854 AD)".

It is hard to imagine that there can be such a magnificent and beautiful temple in a prosperous city like Shenzhen. Dongshan Temple is located on the opposite side of Shenzhen’s Jiaochangwei Beach. It is closely connected with the familiar Dapengsuo City. I also came to see Dongshan Temple’s publicity because of my trip to Dapengsuo City. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from Dapengsuo City. The advantage of walking is that you can see many details on the road, for example, there are many surprises waiting for you at the entrance before entering the temple.

Dongshan Temple, Jiaochangwei Beach and Dapengsuo City form an iron triangle. In the iron triangle, Dongshan Temple may be the least appreciated by everyone. But I feel that Dongshan Temple is the place with the most cultural heritage in the iron triangle. It can be seen from the couplet he entered the door that he has developed the Chinese language culture to the extreme. At the gate of the temple, there is a statue of a Buddha pointing to the sky. I have seen many in Thailand, but this is the first time I have seen it in China. In short, if you like a quiet place, you might as well come here to take a look. If you have faith, come here to take a look, pay a visit, it’s even better.

The temple is very big, there is a road leading to the back mountain behind, the scenery is very good
