Temple Guan di, Chinese temple in Saint-Pierre, Reunion Island.
Temple Guan di is a Chinese temple in Saint-Pierre on Reunion Island featuring red walls decorated with silk banners. Inside, four altars are dedicated to different deities and ancestors.
The temple was founded in 1920 when the first Hakka and Nam Sun Chinese settlers arrived on Reunion Island. It began as a simple chapel to serve these early immigrants.
The temple serves the Chinese community as a gathering place for traditional ceremonies and celebrations following the lunar calendar. Visitors can observe the rituals and religious practices of Chinese immigrants that have been maintained within these walls.
The temple is located downtown in Saint-Pierre and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should note that it has specific visiting hours and it is best to check opening times before planning a visit.
A large incense burner at the entrance catches visitors attention right away. The inscriptions inside tell the story of the Chinese community and their arrival in this region.
