Temple of Six Baiyan Tree
Liurong Temple (Six Banyan Temple) is situated on the Liurong Road. It is a famous Buddhist cultural site. There is a story about the name of the temple. When Sushi, a great writer in Song Dynasty, arrived at the temple one day, a monk asked him for the name of the building. Sushi found that there were six banyan trees in the garden, then he wrote the name “Liurong“ down. The temple enshrines three large Buddhist statues —the biggest copper Buddhist statues existing in Guangdong Province. Because of the colorful exterior carvings, it is popularly known as the Flower Pagoda.
