When you walk or drive through the archway, you enter another world of peace and serenity. A calmness descends on you and the monks are so helpful and pleasant, you feel that it would be easy to convert to Buddism. Try the vegetarian food. It is very tasty and quite a surprise. The Temple itself, is excellent to explore in...

Owner description:
Nan Tien is very different from most tourist attractions because there is so much to offer: the visual delights of grandeur architecture, art & culture including unique exhibitions & festivals, Buddhist festivals, vegetarian culinary delights, educational & healthy life style classes & retreats, accommodation, top class conference and auditorium facilities as well as beautiful gardens & walks. There is also the spiritual and religious experience that is unforgettable and even life changing for some.

This is one of those very special places, come in peace and enjoy the feeling of peace that the temple has. Come early in the morning before the buses arrive and it feels very special

The overall landscaping, the temple buildings, the gardens is truly beautiful and scenic. its so quite and peaceful. we have been to china and seen the temples there but this temple is simply more beautiful. You can easily spend 2-3 hours if you like just strolling around the garden. very clean and well maintained.

I have visited Nan Tien Temple a few times over the past couple of years and each time I visit I am impressed with how clean the grounds are and how peaceful it is to visit. The main temple is open to the public and you are able to get guided tours if you call ahead. Take time to explore...

Peaceful with a side of excellent vegetarian food. The cafe here is fabulous - love the whole feeling of the place. Weird gift shop but certainly worth checking out.

Although this place has looked tempting from the outside for many years, upon visiting I was extremely disappointed. I was imagining it would be a peaceful and tranquil place to visit but the crowds were horrendous, and all we got to see were two shrines. Our visit only lasted 20 minutes and we were so relieved to leave.

If you are looking for inner peace and tranquility then this is the place for you, as you walk through the extensive gardens you just start to absorb the feelings of peace and tranquility, it is an experience not to be passed up. You just have to experience it for yourself it will leave a deep impression on you.

Look around and enjoy the spiritual heritage of the temple. The restaurant/café has a great variety of meals (vegetarian) that make the visit worthwhile.
