Quanzhou travel is prosperous and the incense is strong, which is known for the efficacious fortune-telling

🔥 Continuing right from the Qingjing Mosque, it's not long before you reach the next stop, where the bustling crowd and lively atmosphere at the Xingwang Temple are truly shocking. This legendary Guanyue Temple, though small, is packed with worshippers. Step inside for a closer look and feel the extraordinary vibe. ————————— Name: Tonghuai Guanyue Temple Address: No. 186-196, Tumen Street, Licheng District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province Opening hours: 08:00-17:30, no entry after 17:30 Ticket: Free ————————— 🔥 Guanyue Temple is not large, but it's filled with many worshippers and tourists. There's a large square in front of the temple, bustling and constantly busy. This place is known as the most incense-filled area in Quanzhou, and you won't understand the reason until you are there yourself. 🌟 Majestic and Stunning Architecture The aesthetics and thoughts of ancient craftsmen are reflected here, with the exquisite Minnan-style architecture and extremely ornate decorations shining under the blue sky and white clouds. The roof ridge is adorned with colorful and varied porcelain dragon sculptures, and the flora and fauna seem to come to life. As night falls and the lights come on, the level of amazement here goes up a notch. 🌟 Endless Stream of Worshippers It is said that hundreds of thousands of people come to offer incense every year. The culture of Guandi in Quanzhou, as an important part of Minnan culture, has played a significant role in promoting civil exchanges across the Taiwan Strait. It brings good fortune, fulfills wishes, and protects families, offering people beautiful blessings and hopes. 🌟 Exceptional Fortune-Telling Following the traditional process of seeking answers through fortune-telling sticks, one can experience a unique sense of traditional culture. The process of casting and interpreting the sticks is auspicious and has its own special charm. Both local worshippers and visitors from afar speak highly of this place. 🔥 As the finale of this city walk in downtown Quanzhou, this place truly amazed me. It's not just the exquisite and grand architecture, nor just the surging crowds, but the continuation of this unique traditional culture that one experiences while being here.
