Chinese temple of Dili, Buddhist temple in Dili, East Timor
The Chinese Temple of Dili features traditional Chinese architectural elements with red walls, curved roofs, and intricate decorative patterns throughout its structure.
Built in 1928 during Portuguese colonial rule, the temple provided a spiritual home for Chinese immigrants who settled in East Timor from Macau and other regions.
The temple hosts ceremonies dedicated to Guandi, a historical Chinese general from the 3rd century who represents loyalty and righteousness in Chinese tradition.
Located in central Dili, the temple remains open to visitors daily, with a nominal entrance fee that supports the maintenance of this religious structure.
The temple contains an ancestral altar with inscriptions detailing the journey of settlers from China's Fujian province to East Timor.
