First built in 537 AD., it is a famous Buddhist temple in Guangzhou. Originally called Bao Zhuang Temple, the temple’s name was changed to Liurong (Six Banyan Trees) in Ming Dynasty after it was found that the dissident poet-governor Su Dongpo had paid a visit to it in 1100 and wrote down the two Chinese characters “Liurong”, which was inscribed on the two stone steles in the temple.
