Step into Dabei Chan Temple and be transported to an ancient Buddhist paradise. The majestic Mahavira Hall dazzles with golden splendor, while chanting monks and sandalwood incense create instant serenity. Don't miss the 12-meter-tall Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue - each intricately carved ritual object in her hands tells a story. Pro tip: Visit at dawn when ginkgo leaves blanket stone steps, and you might spot temple cats napping under the corridors.
