Kanti Chinese Temple
Seek out Kanti Temple in Papeete’s Mamao district for a distinct Chinese religious and architectural landmark, away from the immediate market and waterfront circuit.
The building reflects the history of Tahiti’s Chinese community through its design, colour and religious use. Its red, green, yellow and orange exterior has symbolic meanings described by the tourism authority. Look closely at the architectural details, while remembering that festival celebrations and ordinary visiting days are different experiences.
