It's not that the Forbidden City is unaffordable, but Dongguan offers better value for money. In the Dalingshan area near Shenzhen, there is a temple hidden deep in the mountains. It's not crowded, with red walls and grand buildings, both beautiful and photogenic. The Guanyin Temple has a history of over three hundred years and has undergone several expansions to reach its current size. —— The Guanyin Temple covers a large area and is mainly divided into three main halls: the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, and the Guanyin Pavilion, with various Bodhisattva halls on both sides. The red walls and yellow tiles are bright and colorful, surrounded by mountains. From a distance, it looks resplendent and majestic, which is why it's also known as the 'Little Forbidden City' of Guangdong. By rounding up, I could say I've also been to the Forbidden City. —— Location: Guanyin Temple in Dalingshan Forest Park, Dongguan City Admission: Free Opening hours: 8:00~18:00 (Vegetarian meals provided from 11:00~14:00, 25/person) It's very convenient to drive here from Shenzhen, you can drive up the mountain, and there are several parking lots next to the temple, parking is free!! You can also take a taxi from Songgang subway station, which costs about 50. —— The temple is built on the mountain, but there are elevators available!!
