Temple of Six Banyan TreSituated on Liurong Road, this world famous ancient Buddhist temple was built in 537 in the Liang dynasty during the Southern dynasties (386-581). More than 1460 years ago in the Liang dynasty, Emperor Liangwu ordered the master priest, Tanyu to built Baozhuangyan Temple to store the Buddhist bones brought from Kampuchea. During the Northern Song dynasty, a great writer – Su Shi, on a visit to this temple was attracted by the six banyan trees surrounding it and wrote the inscription “Liu Rong” (Six Banyan Trees). This temple has since been known as Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. The temple was burned and rebuilt in the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127). The major structure in this temple is the Flowery Pagoda, built in 1097. Named for its colorful exterior, this 57 meter high pagoda is in the center of the temple, with a bronze column with 1,000 Buddhist sculptures on top.
Traffic restrictions on the island ease pollution and congestion problems. Police patrol to keep beggars off the streets and slowly but surely, cafes, restaurants and bars are spilling out on to the streets and gentrifying the area.
The island was awarded to the British and French after the Opium Wars and European style architecture abounds here and the colonial influence is evident in houses, villas, churches and tennis courts. The French Catholic Church on the main street of the island is a nice example of the European influence. There is also a lovely park just off the main street.
