Guangxiao Temple

Guangxiao Temple is located at No. 109 Guangxiao Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. It is a thousand-year-old temple with a long history and is one of the key national cultural relics protection units. In those years, Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, was tonsured here and spread Zen Buddhism, making Guangxiao Temple the birthplace of the Southern School of Zen Buddhism. In order to commemorate Master Huineng's tonsure, a hair burial pagoda was built in the temple, which contains Master Huineng's hair. This hair burial pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a very precious relic of cultural relics in China! The temple has a beautiful environment, with towering ancient trees and a thriving incense! Every day, many pilgrims and tourists come here to check in and make wishes. Tickets are required to enter the temple, 5 yuan per person. If you are interested in historical sites, you might as well come to visit when you come to Guangzhou!
