How to visit, step by step
- From Yuanshan station (R13), walk about 10 minutes, or pair it with Bao'an Temple across the street
- Walk in through the gate. Entry is free and no booking is needed
- Keep your voice down and don't touch the displays. Bikes and scooters are not allowed inside
- Head for the main Dacheng Hall, then the side halls and courtyards
- It is closed on Mondays but open on national holidays. The grand ceremony on 28 September changes how the grounds are used that day
Don't miss: The main Dacheng Hall and its quiet courtyard, a good contrast to busy Bao'an Temple.
Best time to go alone: A weekday afternoon. Open until 21:00, so it also works as an evening stop.
Getting there
MRT: Yuanshan (R13), about 10 min on foot.
