Built during the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty, Jintai Temple is Doumen's foremost Chan Buddhist monastery; backed by the main peak of Huangyang Mountain, its halls rise tier by tier along the slopes, and its incense has burned unbroken to this day. In the rainy season the "Jintai Tiered Waterfall" roars like thunder, while ancient trees and mountain streams set each other off. On the climb up you can gaze out over the peaks of Huangyang Mountain — a rare mountain-temple experience in Zhuhai.
Getting there: In Doumen by self-drive
