Guoen Temple is located at the foot of Longshan Mountain in Liuzu Town, Xinxing County, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province. It was founded in the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Hongdao era (683 AD) by Master Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism. Initially named "Bao'en Temple," it was built by Master Huineng to honor his parents' nurturing grace. In the second year of the Shenlong era (706 AD) during Emperor Zhongzong's reign, Empress Wu Zetian bestowed the name "Guoen Temple," making it the first temple in the nation to include the word "Guo" (nation) in its name. She personally inscribed the plaque "Imperially Bestowed Guoen Temple." As the birthplace of the Sixth Patriarch, Guoen Temple carries the significant lineage of China's Southern Zen tradition and serves as a bridge for Buddhist Zen cultural exchange. The temple's structures, such as the Mahavira Hall, the Sixth Patriarch Hall, and the Bao'en Pagoda, embody profound Buddhist teachings. The Bao'en Pagoda, built in the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Taiji era (712 AD), stands over 28 meters tall and was constructed by Master Huineng to honor his parents, symbolizing the integration of filial piety and Buddhist compassion. Built against the mountain, the temple is surrounded by serene and elegant natural scenery, with lush forests and picturesque landscapes. The nearby Longtan Lake boasts rich ecological resources, blending the beauty of mountains and waters, accompanied by birdsong and floral fragrances. This tranquil environment offers a spiritual haven for practitioners and visitors alike, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The architectural layout of Guoen Temple is meticulous, with majestic halls and intricately carved beams and painted rafters. It retains the characteristics of Lingnan architecture while incorporating the solemn and sacred atmosphere of Buddhism. Visitors can appreciate both the natural scenery and cultural heritage, while experiencing spiritual solace and inner peace. Surrounding attractions such as the Buddhist Lychee Garden, Zhuoxi Spring, Bathing Pool, and relics of the Sarira excavation are closely tied to the life of the Sixth Patriarch. Pilgrims come not only to pay respects and worship but also to trace the origins of Zen Buddhism and experience the spiritual legacy of master-disciple transmission. The history of Guoen Temple is not only a beacon of religious propagation but also a reflection of local culture. With the aspiration of "spreading the Dharma and benefiting all beings," it continues to exert its Zen spiritual influence in modern society, becoming a significant cultural landmark in Yunfu. It provides people with a sense of inner peace amidst the chaos and prosperity of contemporary life.

First self-drive trip to Guangdong Province during the New Year holiday 🚘! Visited Chenghuang Temple, enjoyed snacks at Temple Street, explored Wenchang Bridge, and strolled through Zen Town! Temple Street was adorned with festive lanterns, Wenchang Bridge offered distinct vibes during day and night, and Zen Town's Tang-style lighting was stunning. During the New Year, there were various activities and performances, creating a strong festive atmosphere 🎉🎉~ This is how New Year should be celebrated—smooth and joyful, just like a sweet sugarcane! 🚗 Route (most efficient, no backtracking) Navigation order: Chenghuang Temple → Temple Street → Wenchang Bridge → Zen Town 🍢 Temple Street · Republic-era arcade street, decorated with lanterns during Spring Festival, exuding a strong Hong Kong-style vibe · Must-try: Xinxing rice noodles, preserved fruits, tofu pudding, beef offal; average cost of 50 RMB per person for a full meal

Not sure what to do for the New Year? We decided to take an impromptu self-driving trip to Xinxing, and one of the stops was Wenchang Bridge. During the day, Wenchang Bridge exudes a classic charm, offering a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere. Walking across the bridge while enjoying the breeze allows you to appreciate the elegance of old architecture, and even casual photos taken here have a unique texture. At night, the bridge becomes even more stunning when the lights are turned on! The warm yellow lights reflect on the river, creating a cozy and atmospheric scene. Sitting quietly to enjoy the night view is truly healing and relaxing. Highly recommend: Visit once during the day and come back again at night! Two different experiences, both equally amazing. Definitely a must-visit spot for a self-driving trip to Xinxing. 📍 Xinxing | Wenchang Bridge 🚗 Navigate directly for self-driving, parking available nearby 👍 Recommendation Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Guangdong’s hidden gem, Tianlu Mountain in Xinxing! It is the highest peak in central and southern Guangdong.

Cloud Sky Ladder Wooden Plank Road: A winding suspended wooden plank road along the ridge, about 2 kilometers long, one of Guangdong’s most photogenic mountain plank roads 2. Summit Meadows: Thousands of acres of alpine meadows, green in spring and summer, golden in autumn and winter, perfect for camping and picnics 3.

The downside is that the scenic area is somewhat commercialized, and some sections are steep, so those with average fitness should pace themselves. Friends, have you been to Tianlu Mountain?

Xiangwo Mountain is located in Xinxing County, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province. It is a natural place under the sky. There is a Zen Tea Museum where you can experience authentic tea culture. When it collides with the Zen culture, it has more details. Because Xiangwo Mountain is not only the hometown of tea, but also a holy place of Zen. The most famous sorghum in Buddhism in China, the hometown of the six ancestors Huineng is emerging, so there is a deep Zen culture here. Like the nest of the paradise, it is enough to accommodate your heart. Blowing the air, looking at the tea garden, the product, no one will want to leave easily.

When the sky is not bright at 4 o'clock in the morning, climb along the hiking trail to the flying silkworm hill to watch the sunrise, just because the sunrise here is like a colorful dream. Before sunrise, the coolness of the air infiltrated into the collar, which quickly drove away the heat of the trek. Walking in the mountains, the taste of nature wraps you. The scenery in front of us keeps changing with the pace, and people dont see enough. After waiting for a long time, the sun finally came out, separated by a layer of fog, not very clear, only the halo of the ripples, but even more people want to find out. There are some old defensive walls on the Flying Silk Mountain, and the locals are called the Great Wall. In the light of the morning light, it reflects the traces of the years. Wall holes are the best framing frames, framed by a small piece of gentle to the ultimate world. The faint color casts a faint mourning on the whole picture. Ascending the distance, thousands of landscapes have become a small place visible at the moment; the nearby vegetation is quite complete. This feeling makes people feel that they are small and the world is vast.

Where are you going to play this National Day? I am on vacation at Xiangwo Mountain Ecological Park. In the morning, fly to Tianshang Mountain to watch the sunrise. After going down the mountain, go to the tea garden to pick up tea, visit the Zen Tea Museum, and learn about the culture and history of Zen tea. In the afternoon, go to the heated swimming pool, or relax with a tea and spring, and the children can also go to the water park.

Xiangwo Mountain used to be the place where the educated youth cut the queue. Here, the Educated Youth Tea Farm was set up. Although there is no educated youth, the tea farm has been preserved. The oldest tea tree is 66 years old. Go, pick tea together!

Xinxing, formerly known as Xinzhou, is the birthplace of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Master Huineng. Master Huineng was born and raised in Xinzhou. He later went to Huangmei to receive the Dharma transmission from the Fifth Patriarch, becoming the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism and the founder of Chinese Zen. Guangxiao Temple in Guangzhou is where the Sixth Patriarch was ordained and received precepts. Nanhua Temple in Shaoguan is where he taught for 36 years. Guoen Temple is where he taught and passed away. Guoen Temple is known as the “first Zen sacred site in Lingnan” and, together with Guangxiao Temple and Nanhua Temple, is one of the three main ancestral temples of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen. The temple’s environment is serene. Its buildings are constructed along the mountain’s terrain, unlike the typical temples arranged symmetrically along a central axis. Entering through the mountain gate, you pass a pond and a long corridor, then turn left and climb the steps. The Sixth Patriarch’s former residence is about 2 km from Guoen Temple and includes an introduction to his life and legacy.
