Tourist Attractions & Monuments Mauritius

This red, green and gold pagoda (symbols of happiness, prosperity and purity) is the oldest in Mauritius and the oldest witness to the Chinese presence on the island. Founded in 1842 to celebrate the cult of Guan Di (an ancient warrior deified for his exploits), it faces north so that all the deities face the sea. It has a beautiful roof with curved peaks, covered in glazed tiles. The interior exudes an immediate serenity. Admire the gold bell dating from 1869 and the beautiful copper incense burners.
