The Temple of the Five Immortals, It lies beside the junction of West Huifu Road and Liurong road. Wuxian Guan may be a major Taoist temple in Guangzhou, but tourists can barely find its significance as most parts are under scaffolding. The visit to the Temple of the Five Immortals was interesting I really like the garden and the statues.

I came here with some out of towners and it was a nice day to be outdoor. Weather was thankfully pleasant.

The Temple of Five Immortals - incorporating also the Museum of Yuexiu District - is a nice break from the chaotic Guangzhou and particularly from the Ximenkou area. To get there take the metro and get off at the Ximenkou stop, then ask for directions from there. It is a 5-10 minutes walk. Unfortunately there are some excavations works going on in the nearby site (from which most of the pottery displayed in the museum comes from) but apart from that you will find a very serene atmosphere: ponds and bridges for a relaxing walk, panels describing the city in the centuries, a scale model on the other side of the little shore (hidden in the artificial garden), exhibitions of decorations and carriages, a little game about the Chinese meaning of flowers. Nature, culture and fun. Overall a complete visit.

Wuxian Guan may be a major Taoist temple in Guangzhou, but tourists can barely find its significance as most parts are under scaffolding. Only the courtyard is open at this moment. Free admission but registration via Wechat is mandatory.

The visit to the Temple of the Five Immortals was interesting, since we were quite enamoured by its name. It was also one of the things we saw while we explore the Temple of Six Banyan Trees, so we were in a mood to be out and about. The weather was perfect, which I believe also made a difference !

"History Buffs" will be enchanted by the shrine, its artefacts and "Historical Relics"!! The Temple was built about 550 years ago--- and honours 5 people-- presented as three males and 2 females astride their goats. Like some of China's history-- violence has taken its toll. But the old, massive bell (5 tonnes) still exists. There is also a pond with Koi and turtles.

We went there after visiting the old mosque nearby,Huaisheng Mosque,seeing both places gave us a good insight how life was there in the old times,people used to live on boats and conduct their business from there. The temple is well kept,has a statue of the five immortals that save GZ from famine ,the ones that came from heaven riding the famous five goats,and the only old bell tower in GZ,in the garden there is a display of old photos and a tribute to the old Poshan Ferry in that area the channels and the water now disappear. All in all was a pleasant short trip for a Sunday afternoon.

How sad that the temple really doesn't exist any more. It is quite a nice space and the hall is pleasant, but it really is a shame that more didn't survive, as it is a crucial part of Guangzhou's mythological story. Good for temple and history buffs, but not for everyone.

If you've been to a number of temples in China then you might get bored here. But if you're a history or culture buff then you'll probably enjoy it. The temple seems to be better maintained and is less crowded than some of the more famous Guangzhou temples like the Chen Clan Temple.
Beware fake monks on the road outside the temple who might ask you for money or to buy some charms or trinkets. It's a well-known scam.

This is and incredible place, the temple is surrounded by small shops and traffic, but once you pass the beautiful doors and the gods guarding the entrance you can actually feel, sense and hear the environment. For a western person (Mexican) is very interesting to see and admire architecture, the different Buda representations and all worship happening.
