Guangzhou: Zen Temple Tour with Traditional Vegetarian Lunch

Discover the oldest and largest Buddhist temple in Guangzhou on a guided tour. Visit the Guangxiao Temple, explore the Guangxiao Road pedestrian area, and enjoy a traditional vegetarian meal.
Embark on a serene and culturally enriching journey led by a local guide, as you explore Guangxiao Temple—the most ancient and largest Buddhist temple in Guangzhou, with over 1,700 years of history. Let the solemnity and tranquility of this revered temple offer you a rare escape from the urban rush.

Begin your tour on Guangxiao Road, where you’ll stroll through the pedestrian area lined with Buddhist supply shops, learning about the traditional worship practices of Guangzhou locals. From there, your guide will lead you into the legendary temple known as the “First Ancient Temple of Lingnan,” and share the compelling story of Master Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, who was ordained here.

As incense drifts through the air, step into sacred halls such as the Mahavira Hall, admire the East and West Iron Pagodas, and stand beneath the ancient Bodhi tree that has witnessed centuries of devotion. Have the opportunity to offer fresh flowers, bow in prayer, and make heartfelt wishes, just like local believers.

After the spiritual experience, enjoy a simple yet nourishing Buddhist vegetarian meal prepared by Guangxiao Temple (subject to availability; if temple meals are not served on the day, an alternative vegetarian meal nearby will be arranged). The cuisine focuses on freshness, balance, and mindfulness—each dish prepared with seasonal ingredients, reflecting the Buddhist principle of “eating as a form of practice.”

This 3-hour journey offers more than just sightseeing—it’s a moment of inner stillness and cultural immersion, where you’ll discover the depth of Buddhist wisdom and the historic roots of Guangzhou.
