3 Di Zhang Wang Temple

Springvale, Australia

The Asian immigrants to Australia brought different customs to the country,
like this Di Zhang Wang Temple at Springvale Botanical Cemetery.
It took 8 years to construct the temple using traditional materials.

Di Zhang Wang Boddhisattva is worshipped as the god of the dead.
