("Six Banyan Tree") Temple (六榕寺), Guangzhou, Guangdong (广东, 广州市).

November 19, 2010 - The next temple on my itinerary was a little closer to home. In fact, Liurong ("Six Banyan Tree") Temple is the closest of the 142 to my home in Shenzhen. (Hongfa Temple had not been built when the list was made in 1983.)
