Kuan Yin Temple (1880) at 170 N. Vineyard Boulevard, is the oldest Chinese temple in Honolulu.  Devoted to the Chinese goddess of mercy, worshippers still visit the red and green structure to receive their blessings. Located next door is the beautiful 14-acre Foster Botanical Garden (50 N. Vineyard Boulevard), a stunning urban oasis.  Rare orchids, tropical plants, and exceptional giant trees will transport you away from the nearby bustle of downtown Honolulu.
