The Chinese Temple of Dili is a temple used by the Chinese diaspora of Dili, Timor-Leste. The temple was built in 1928, during the Portuguese control of East Timor, and is still in use today.[1]
The main shrine of the temple is dedicated to Lord Guan, a historical Chinese general from the 3rd century, who is popularly worshipped in Chinese folk religion, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism. Another room is dedicated to Guan Yin, a bodhisattva venerated in Chinese folk religion.[2]
