Learned a little bit of history. Serene and beautiful place to visit while in Bendigo. Can also be reached when you buy the talking Tram ride. Loved the visit!
This in such a beautiful place. I was blown away by the person that was running the place on the day , taking the time to explain about the temple, it's care, and why it"s some important for the community to maintain this temple.
Last time I was here, I thought it'd be a cliche for a Taiwanese to visit a temple. So I labeled the place and thought, maybe next time. This time I read about Kwan-Di in the temple, I had to visit my family God. It turned out very soothing for the home sick me. Educational as well. The gentleman serving at the entry was brilliant in answering questions regarding many aspects of Chinese culture. I was stunned by his knowledge. It was a visit of great comfort
For a 150years old building, it is well preserved and the guide was very friendly and communicative For any non-buddhist visitor, it is A TEMPLE, means its for worship, dont expect something ridiculous rich, if u want that, go to dragon museum.
Great little place this is volunteer based the passion and knowledge they have is great lovely friendly guys makes you feel welcome interesting history Thankyou
We visited this lovely temple four years ago. I was surprised by how well the owner maintained the temple, and lots of understanding of the Chinese culture he possessed, especially he is not any Chinese descendant. I worshiped Guan Gong here and soon after that I got my first job in Australia. That was amazing. I am very surprised that the temple is free, but as I always do and encourage my friends to do, is to donate to help the owner preserve it. Remember it is also to preserve your own culture overseas. Thanks to the owner.
A very well maintained original temple with great friendly and very knowledgeable staff. well worth the look and a chat with the staff. awesome
Was so beautiful, interesting to experience a different cultures prayer house. Loved the lucky and rabbit lolly. Pretty and fat fish in the pond.
If this place is of religious significance to you, then by all means, go ahead. If it's not, then read the reviews ahead of time and decide if this is something you'd like. Mentioning this because I didn't read the reviews and ended up being disappointed. Very small area with different places to worship. Was personally not very interesting, even with the writeups. Two stars for 01 this place is 150 years old and the ticket goes to the upkeep and 02 the lovely Manager who was friendly and informative. Go to the Golden Dragon Museum instead, it has the history of the Chinese settlement in Bendigo as well as....Dragons!
A must visit in Bendigo and an icon in Bendigo tourism. I loved the warm welcome from Belinda who was warm and friendly her interaction with us made it extra special thank you from all of us
