Quiet and free to visit. They even gave visitors sweet rice dumplings.

This is one historical site and a real ancient Chinese temple in shekou area if shenzhen. Finally there is one monument where it's not been miniaturized and showcased in a park.

Beautiful place - it took me an hour to walk there from my hotel (Hilton in Shenzhen) definitely doable and it was worth the walk - grab water as u walk...

This is a small museum and functional temple. It was quite interesting and relaxing to walk around, smell all of the fine incense, and look at the beautiful architecture. The colors and detail of the temple are very well preserved and maintained. Also, very few westerners come to the Chiwan area, so if you are done with Sea World then come spend an afternoon here!

The fact that there's not much touristy stuff to do in Shenzhen makes this a worthwhile visit but there's not much here to see, especially if you've visited Chinese temples in Hong Kong, which I had. The museum part is very small so there's not much to be gained there. I did read a few titbits of info which peaked my interest but then there was nothing more to sustain it. You could easily see it all in 30 mins, probably less.
