Guangzhou Liurong Temple



As soon as we arrived at the guangzhou Liurong Temple we are approched by beggers and homeless people. Rick warns my Mom so she knows what is going on. It broke my heart to see them, they looked so sad.
After we arrived in the temple area I took my camera out of the back pack and this is what happened....I had to wait many minutes for my camera to stop fogging up. That is how hot and humid it is here. (That is why these photos are so foggy!)



Here is what we learned today about the Guangzhou Liurong Temple:

(Words taken from our ticket.)"Liu Rong temple was founded in the Song Dynasty during the Southern Dynasties (AD420-479), which has a history of over 1500 years and is now a key, accessible temple in China.

With such attractive landscapes as a 1000 year pagoda, green ancient banyan trees, the sound of brooks and the songs of birds; and with such artistic treasures as the tablet by Wang Bo (Tang Dynasty), Portrait of Arhats (Ming Dynasty) and a hand scroll by Master Dan Gui (Qing Dynasty), Liu Rong Temple is really a Scenic spot for both Buddha worship and sightseeing."

This Temple is located on Liu Rong Road in Guangzhou Peoples Republic of China
