Guangxiao Temple (Guangxiao si)

Guangxiao Temple (Guangxiao si) Review

This impressively restored temple and city-gate complex, also known as the Five Celestials Shrine, was once the front gate for the wall that surrounded the city. The shrine and remaining sections of the wall in Yuexiu Park are the only standing remains of old Guangzhou's fortifications. There's also an impressive model of how the city looked when the air was clean, the roads were filled with horse-drawn carts, and foreigners were confined on pain of death to one small section of the city.
