Hoi Tong Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Henan Island, Guangzhou, China

The Hoi Tong Monastery extends across a large area within Haichuang Park, featuring traditional Buddhist architectural elements and multiple prayer halls.

Initially established as Qianqiu Temple during the Southern Han dynasty in the 10th century, the monastery became a primary Buddhist center in Guangzhou.

The monastery maintains a library of religious texts and serves as a center for Buddhist education, preserving traditional practices and teachings.

Visitors can reach the monastery through public transportation from central Guangzhou, with increased frequency of services during major Buddhist festivals.

The monastery operated its own printing press for religious texts and contained gardens with penjing sculptures shaped into boats and birdcages.
