This temple is not only a place for local residents to pray and seek spiritual solace, but also an important place to experience Macau’s traditional culture.

Lianxi Temple is located in a quiet corner of the Macau Peninsula. Under the plaque of Huaguang Temple there is the couplet "Xuan Qian Zhuan Kun Fa Zhao Shen Wu".

The architectural style of Lianxi Temple reflects the typical characteristics of southern temples and is famous for its exquisite wood carvings and paintings. The roof of the temple is decorated with raised cornices and brightly colored pottery sculptures. Most of these pottery sculptures are traditional mascots such as door gods, symbolizing blessing and peace. The pillars and beams in the temple are also carved with exquisite patterns, and every detail shows the exquisite skills of the craftsmen. Entering the main hall of the temple, incense is lingering in the hall, and the atmosphere is solemn and solemn. There is a small courtyard behind the main hall. There is an old couple in the courtyard, providing a place for tourists to rest and meditate. Plaques from many donors hang on the walls of the temple, documenting the temple's close ties and history with the local community. Lian Xi Temple is open to the public and no tickets are required, but as a sign of respect for the temple, visitors should dress appropriately and keep quiet when visiting.

Located opposite the Yong Lek Theatre, Lotus Creek Hall is full of incense. Many citizens go to offer incense and pray for God's blessing. You can also ask for signatures here. I heard that looking at photos and asking questions is quite accurate.

It is one of the few ancient temples in Macau with a long history. There are many Bodhisattvas inside, and the incense is very prosperous. The transportation here is very convenient. I recommend it.
