Fo Guang Shan Nan Tien Temple

Historic buildings

不帅不酷又矮没钱的大叔

As the largest temple in the Southern Hemisphere, Nan Tien Temple is located in the beautiful Wollongong, less than 2 hours away from Sydney. The weather is good, and the photos taken are also beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds! After worshiping Buddha, I had some vegetarian food at the noodle bar on the first floor. The appearance is very good, and the taste is also very good. Starting from Sydney, one day&#39;s round trip time is still quite sufficient, it is worth a visit!
