Hongfa Temple

Located in Xianhu Botanical Park. Famous Buddhism Temple.

Hong Fa Temple arguably the only major Buddhist temple in Shenzhen. Nestled right inside the Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden, a picturesque property sprawled in the Wutong Mountains, it is composed of innovatively-designed series of terraces that makes for a leisurely exploration. The first level is primarily a courtyard with a screen wall lining it. The next level features a number of shops, while the third one highlights the Happy Buddha in the Heavenly Kings Hall. The fourth level allows guests to come across a utility hall but no area for worship; you’d have to ascend to the fourth level for that, where the Treasure Hall – more popularly referred to as the Buddha Hall – is located. Finally, at the highest level is a scripture repository.
