Lon Wa Buddhist Temple
The largest Chinese Mahayana Buddhist temple on Mindanao. Its main hall, Guanyin statue, and fine wood carvings reflect the faith of the local Chinese community.
The temple is located on J.P. Laurel Avenue in the Lanang district. The main hall houses Shakyamuni Buddha and Guanyin, and the interior is decorated with a great deal of Italian marble and wood carving. Entry is free. Remove your hat when entering the hall, dress appropriately, and avoid loud talking indoors. The temple is near Davao's commercial district, so you can easily stop by the shopping malls nearby.
