Expat Adventures: Nan Tien Temple

December 22, 2009

I recently had the good fortune to visit the largest Buddhist temple in the southern hemisphere, Nan Tien Temple.  Nestled in the hills of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, Nan Tien is an amazing traditional Buddhist temple that is open for tours, ceremonies, and prayer. It is a stunning, serene place…if you ever find yourself in Sydney, you must make a trip.
