Meizhou Island is the birthplace of Mazu and the birthplace of Mazu culture. Mazuzu Temple - "Mazu was worshipped as a sea god, and the emperors of all dynasties also awarded her the honorary titles of "Heavenly Princess", "Heavenly Queen", "Heavenly Virgin Mother" and so on. The Mazu Temple on Meizhou Island is the ancestral temple of more than 3,000 Mazu temples in the world today. It is a common place of worship for Mazu believers at home and abroad. Every year, Mazu's birthday (March 23) and ascension day (September 9) are celebrated here with a grand pilgrimage ceremony. The ancestral temple was built in the Song Dynasty and has undergone renovation and expansion for generations. Now it is very magnificent and has the reputation of "the Potala Palace on the Sea". The main hall "Tianhou Palace" has a gold body of Mazu Zhangmu for thousands of years. The inscription "Shenzhaohai Table" hanging on it is the imperial pen of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. Tianfei's hometown - "is a museum, with three floors, about six or seven pavilions, mainly introducing Mazu's life, as well as the seal of successive dynasties, cultural relics, picture exhibitions and so on. Golden Beach - "Beach scenery is general, the sea water is not very clear, compared with other islands, there is no special. After visiting the Mazu Temple on Meizhou Island, it is still very pleasant to come here and see the sea and blow the sea breeze. Traffic - "Take a car to the dock, then take a speedboat or ferry to the island, the journey is about 15 minutes. The shuttle fare is 105 yuan and the ferry fare is 85 yuan. The Mazu Temple and the Tianfei Museum on the island no longer buy tickets. The Mazu Cultural Park costs 30 yuan. Purchase of tickets is a real-name system, which requires identity cards. If there is no ID card, the tickets can only be purchased by issuing identity certificates at the nearby police station. After purchasing tickets, I. D. check tickets directly and enter the waiting hall at 7:30, 8:30... every hour. When the ship arrives at the shore, there will be one way exit and two buses. The routes are : Meizhou Wharf-Mazuzu Temple-**********-Golden Beach-********-Goosetail Shrine Garden. The whole journey is two yuan per ticket. Few people go on New Year's Day. According to local people, except March 23 and September 9 of the lunar calendar every year, summer vacation and Spring Festival are the peak seasons, and the rest are the off-season.

    What is the so-called gift? (although it doesn't matter if there is any) Isn't this a false propaganda? Is the package hard? It's better to directly increase the price of the package!

    The parking lot is an open space, there is no sign, it is very difficult to find a car on the return trip. After parking, you must remember the location. After taking the boat to the island, you don’t need to take a car to walk to Mazu Temple. If you go to the goosetail stone, you can take a car, or electric car 🛵. The sightseeing car for the return trip is 40 yuan per person, and you can book a ticket one day in advance. Bring your ID card into the park

    Weizhou Island is really good, and it catches up with the sunny weather, the scenery is very good, feel the Mazu culture, the package includes ferry tickets and island landing fees, and the accompanying gift is. . . It's really unnecessary, not to mention it, it's better to buy tickets directly at the pier or the Weizhou Island applet to buy tickets. I will come again next time I have a chance, I can stay at the homestay for a day or two.

    The package includes boat fees and tickets, and a pick-up and drop-off from Mazuzu Temple, so it is quite suitable for me who first went to the island for the pilgrimage. However, I can only call the car myself or myself when I go to other places on the island later. But it was quite good to take a souvenir before the island, just on the commercial street not far from the gate of the old temple of the ancestral temple.

    Mazu Pavilion is very worth seeing, Weizhou Island is also very beautiful, convenient facilities. In terms of ticket purchase packages on Ctrip, it is enough to buy Weizhou Island scenic spot tickets and ferry tickets. There is no need to buy Zuge round-trip (the bus on the island is more convenient and cheap). The souvenir needs to navigate to the store by yourself, which is very inconvenient and unnecessary.
