Liurong Temple (Luyong or Six Banyan Trees Temple, Guangzhou, China)

#triptravelasia ♥️Liu Rong Temple♥️ or the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees is another Buddhist temple. This temple was built in 510 and is more than 1,000 years old. Inside, there is a large chapel and a pagoda shaped like a flower containing the relics of the Lord Buddha. This temple was built during the Tang Dynasty. The original temple collapsed over time and was renovated many times. It has been renamed many times. The current name of the temple comes from the poet Zhuge Liang of the Song Dynasty. He traveled to this temple to study Dharma. The abbot of the temple asked the poet to give the temple a new name. He turned to see six banyan trees inside the temple and named them "Liu Rong" or Lu Yong, which means six banyan trees. It has been used as the name of the temple to this day. ♥️ For those who like to make merit, I recommend this temple. ♥️ #Guangzhou #China
