Chinese buddhist temple
Jan 2020
I stopped when cycling down Riccarton Rd. when I saw this lovely wooden building.
There was a great photo exhibition with photos on NZ.
There is a small shop of chinese buddhist articles, books and paraphernalia.
And a cafe.

An awesome experience
Mar 2018 • Solo
I frequently visit Fo Guang Shan temple, not only for there awesome waterdrop cafe but there is always something interesting going on, i especially like the Dhama talks on the weekend and the little cards with motivational quotes! really should be on your list of places to regularly visit if your in Christchurch.
