A guide to the culturally rich ancient city of Quanzhou, where historic sites and attractions are concentrated
The ancient city of Quanzhou is not large, and it is home to historic sites such as Kaiyuan Temple, Confucius Temple, Guanyue Temple, and Qingjing Mosque. It is recommended to go to Guanyue Temple first, walk northwest along Tumen Street, and you can visit Qingjing Mosque and Confucius Temple not far away. Pass through the Confucius Temple, walk north along Zhongshan Road, to the crossroad of West Street, walk west from the intersection, and you can reach Kaiyuan Temple not far away. Qingyuan Mountain is also worth climbing, but it's a bit far, you can take a taxi to Laojun Rock.
The above-mentioned ancient sites in the ancient city can be finished in half a day; Qingyuan Mountain is very large, with a full-length hiking trail, clear signs on the mountain, you can arrange it yourself according to time and physical strength.
Impression: More than 700 years ago, Quanzhou was a world trade center, concentrating various major religious cultures at that time.
1. Guanyue Temple is very popular;
2. Qingjing Mosque is a very old mosque;
3. Some Nestorian sites can be seen, Nestorianism is a branch of Christianity;
4. Zhongshan Road is a commercial street, not wide, with arcades on both sides, convenient for pedestrians;
5. The stone carvings of the Heavenly Kings on the tower of Kaiyuan Temple are very exquisite;
6. The huge statue of Laozi at the entrance of Qingyuan Mountain, carved from natural stone mountain, the deep eyes see through time and space;
7. The view from the top of Qingyuan Mountain is good, there are many cliff carvings, and there is a pagoda of the high monk Hongyi on the mountain.
Fujian's largest Buddhist temple, home to China's tallest twin stone towers, is located in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, at Kaiyuan Temple
✅【Life】
"In this small town where I live, everyone firmly believes that there are gods three feet above their heads, and they also believe in spirits. People live closely with ghosts and gods..." This is how writer Cai Chongda describes the attitude of Quanzhou people towards gods in his book 'Skin'.
🚩【Folklore】
In the daily life of Quanzhou people, the folklore of "respecting heaven and earth and fearing ghosts and gods" is vividly preserved. Here, there is a temple every five steps and a temple every ten steps. It is a "city of all gods" that integrates various beliefs such as Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Manichaeism, and Hinduism.
📍【Check-in】
Kaiyuan Temple, located on West Street in Licheng District, Quanzhou, can be said to be one of the most representative places of Quanzhou's earthly and immortal atmosphere. Many people even list visiting Kaiyuan Temple as a must-do when traveling to Quanzhou.
📖【History】
It was first built in the second year of the Tang Dynasty, and has a history of more than 1300 years. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian and a national key cultural relics protection unit. As a major part of "Quanzhou: The World Maritime Trade Center of Song and Yuan China", it has been included in the "World Cultural Heritage List".
➡️【What you see】
The Kaiyuan Temple we see now, its main temples were mostly built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was originally called "Lotus Temple" because of the allusion of "Mulberry Opening White Lotus". Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the construction of temples throughout the country to show the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all named after the year, hence the name "Kaiyuan Temple".
📍【Scale】
The temple covers nearly 120 acres and consists of a series of buildings such as the main building group in the middle road and the east and west stone towers. Not only is it high in regulation, majestic, and cleverly constructed, but it is also more splendid and brightly lit when you look closely.
Especially the Zhenguo Tower and Renshou Tower, which are arranged in a "品" shape with the Daxiong Hall, not only stand tall for thousands of years, but are also the highest pair of stone towers in our country. Their meticulous and precise stacking methods and the exquisite relief carvings on the tower body are all shocking and are undoubtedly national treasures.
🚩【Achievements】
In addition, there are wooden couplets personally written by Zhu Xi, the Ganlu Jietan, which is known as one of the three major Jietan in China along with Beijing Jietai Temple and Hangzhou Zhaoqing Temple, and the Sutra Pavilion with a rich collection of historical materials, etc., are all must-see check-in points at Kaiyuan Temple.
Of course, in addition to the magnificent and exquisite architecture and the long and diverse culture of Kaiyuan Temple, its classical, elegant, quiet and deep environmental atmosphere is also a reason why many people prefer it.

West Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Just returned from Quanzhou for three days and two nights, let me share my real feelings
I was so lucky this time to Quanzhou~ The weather was great!
On the first day, I encountered a beautiful sunset. The second day was a day trip to the seaside. Although it was cloudy in the morning, the afternoon was very clear. The third day was also a sunny day. It's really comfortable to come to Quanzhou in winter~ The temperature is just right, not cold or hot.
.
✔️Three-day tour itinerary:
Day1: Chengdu✈️Quanzhou: Citywalk near West Street in the afternoon
Day2: Seaside day trip: Luoga Temple—Xiangzhi Wharf—Yushawan Park
Day3: In the morning, flower hairpin in West Street, visit Kaiyuan Temple, go to Wulin traditional village in the afternoon, Quanzhou✈️Chengdu at night
.
Hotel🏨
It is recommended to choose near West Street, you can go to many places on foot, there are also many foods, super convenient.
.
✔️West Street: Quanzhou's most intact ancient street, compared to other commercial streets, the prices here are really cheap, and the taste is also good~
There are many internet celebrity check-in points on the street, the location of the second floor to take pictures of the twin towers of Kaiyuan Temple, inside Xiangfeng Lane, and the "Quanzhou" big character newspaper and "Quanzhou" calendar wall, all are good for taking pictures!
.

.
✔️Xiangzhi Wharf: When the weather is clear, the sea here is super blue, sitting by the sea is very chill~
.
✔️Yushawan Park: It's like "Anaya", very photogenic for taking pictures~
.
✔️West Street Hairpin Flower: Now you don't have to go to Xunpu, there are many places in West Street where you can wear flowers. The prices are slightly different, depending on the clothes you choose. But the prices are very transparent, basically you won't step on thunder. It's best to choose a shop with an aunt inside, the braid will look better.
.
✔️Kaiyuan Temple: After finishing the hairpin flower, you must come to the red wall of Kaiyuan Temple to take pictures, it's very beautiful!
.
✔️Wulin Traditional Village: It's quite far from West Street, about 40 minutes by taxi, closer to the airport. There are many old buildings preserved here, the most photogenic is the Roman-style building just inside.
.
🥗Food: Noodle paste, ginger duck, mazhi... all are not bad!
.
Overall, Quanzhou is very suitable for playing for two or three days, the consumption is not high, and most of the attractions do not require tickets. This time we came, including round-trip air tickets, the average person spent more than a thousand and had a lot of fun~
.
Thank you for reading, see you next time👋🏻

Guide•Quanzhou｜Want to see the sea, so I came to this World Heritage small town
✨Because I like this coastal small town in the World Cultural Heritage List too much, I came to Quanzhou again. When I left, I knew clearly that I would definitely come again.
✨Bai Yansong was right: "As long as you love life, you will definitely fall in love with Quanzhou."
Places worth visiting in Quanzhou
1⃣️Kaiyuan Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian Province, no tickets or appointments are required. If you want to go, remember to go early, the price is very beautiful.
2⃣️West Street is next to Kaiyuan Temple, the Minnan red brick house is too beautiful, and the integration with Kaiyuan Temple really confirms the phrase "half city fireworks half city fairy".
Photo check-in location: You can go to the rooftop of Meichao Crazy and the rooftop of West Street Tourist Service Center.
Snack recommendation: Wu-style handmade glutinous rice cake, Auntie Chicken Rack, and Hou's Meat Zongzi are all very good.
3⃣️Quanzhou Overseas Traffic History Museum, if you are interested in the history of Quanzhou, you must go, you can also watch the documentary "Return to Cistong City" in advance, which will be very helpful for understanding the history of Quanzhou.
4⃣️Linluan Ferry (Shihu Wharf) is the treasure I found following the history of Quanzhou . Although it is now just a quiet small village—Shihu Village, it hides the prosperity of Quanzhou. You can take a taxi or take the Shishi 7 bus (about one way 1h) from the Shishi city area. Shihu Mazu Palace and Liusheng Tower Park are also nearby. You can visit them together and experience slowly.
5⃣️Hui Women's Style Garden, the ticket is 30/person, if you eat in some restaurants in the scenic area, you can offset the ticket if you spend 80; you must walk up the small hill (not high and easy to climb), the view from the top of the hill is extremely wide, you can overlook the entire Dazhu Village . If you like to see the sea, don't miss it, the photos are also very good! The coastal road from the northeast gate of Chongwu Ancient City to Hui Women's Style Garden is strongly recommended to choose shared electric bikes (small 🍊continues "Travel"), super treasure blowing sea breeze is super comfortable🛵

Wulin Traditional Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Wulin Traditional Village
Wulin Traditional Village is located in Jinjiang City. There are public buses K901 and K902 from Quanzhou city center that can get you there, but it's about a 2-kilometer walk to the village itself. Wulin Traditional Village was formed during the Ming Dynasty. Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, villagers who had lived overseas began to return to the country and started to fund the construction of exquisite Minnan official-style mansions, Sino-Western fusion residences, Gothic and ancient Roman-style western buildings, as well as Fanzi buildings. Today, the village has well preserved these century-old buildings with stories. Wulin Traditional Village is known as the Overseas Chinese Architecture Museum. Visiting Wulin Traditional Village is free of charge.
I thought Quanzhou West Street was already beautiful, until I came to Wulin Village
If you find Quanzhou West Street too crowded and noisy, why not escape to Wulin Village in Jinjiang for a breath of fresh air? Here, there is a series of well-preserved old-style buildings, filled with a strong Nanyang flavor🌸, as well as Minnan official-style mansions, Gothic style, and ancient Roman architectural styles among the diverse houses. Each ancient building tells the stories of generations of Wulin people, and the endless yearning for their hometown from overseas Chinese in foreign lands.
Next, let me plan a tour route for you🧭:
Chaodong Tower➡Stage➡Five-story Mansion➡Gun Tower➡Overseas Chinese Letter Museum➡World View Tower➡Dewei Residence➡Minnan Style Museum➡Juruo Ancient Mansion Bookstore.
Let's take an in-depth tour of Wulin Village:
🏛'Chaodong Tower': This is the landmark building of Wulin Village, with Roman-style arches, and the courtyard is simply lovely for photos! There is also a museum to visit.
🏡'Dewei Residence': An old house built in 1910, inside there is a popular banyan tree, with its roots spread throughout the ancient house, creating a unique charm.
🌆'Gun Tower': Also known as the Cultivation Tower, it is the highest point of the ancient village, and buying a ticket to go up allows you to overlook the entire beauty of the ancient village.
🏠'Five-story Mansion': Designed and built by a British designer in 1935, the exterior is Western-style, but the first and second floors are Minnan style, offering a unique flavor.
🎆'Overseas Chinese Letter Museum': A Spanish-style building, entirely made of Minnan red bricks, built in 1938.
📖'Juruo Ancient Mansion Bookstore': The environment is especially nice, and it's particularly good for taking photos, truly one of a kind.
Cold drink shop 'Guangfa Ice Room': A Hong Kong-style tea restaurant with an excellent location, where you can enjoy the scenery from the second floor while drinking a silk stocking milk tea🥤, truly a pleasure.
The pond at the entrance of the village is also a great place for shooting reflections and sunsets.
Wulin Village is about 30 minutes from Quanzhou, about 40 minutes from Xiamen, and only 10-20 minutes from Shishi and Jinjiang, making it an excellent destination for a self-driving tour🚗! Most importantly, it is open all day for free, and there are homestays to stay in! How about a spontaneous little trip?
Wulin, truly amazed by this ancient village!

Quanzhou Luoga Temple | The romantic and healing Buddha country on the sea where gods exist on the other shore
Thankful for coming to Quanzhou Luoga Temple💗, it's hard to describe the shock of the Buddha country on the sea in a few words, especially when looking at it from the other shore, the temple and the sea blend together to appear more sacred, grandeur and solemnity coexist, making people naturally settle down, quietly embracing the sea breeze and the Sanskrit sounds, the trip is worthwhile.
Quanzhou Luoga Temple, ticket🎫free
📍: Golden Coast, Shishi City, Quanzhou, Fujian
🚗: About 1h by taxi from Quanzhou city area (fare around 85r-100r), there is also a bus, but it takes about 2h-3h, actually renting a car in Quanzhou is more cost-effective, because each attraction is not too close, the fare is not much different from renting a car and it's more free~ (parking at the temple gate is 10r without time limit)
I know many people come to check in the same style as their current boyfriend~
Remember to bring a telephoto lens for better photos, a drone is even better~
I also want to remind everyone that some shooting positions require standing on the beach rocks, the rocks are covered with moss and are particularly slippery, I saw people slipping, be sure to pay attention to safety! Check the weather early and do a good job of sun protection, the sea breeze is strong, the onion dressing method is appropriate, dark clothes are more photogenic~ That's all
Seaside Temple
The Seaside Temple, also known as the Loga Temple, is located on the Gongyu Island on the east coast of the Golden Coast in Shishi. It is a rare seaside temple built by the sea, allowing you to feel the grandeur of Buddhism and the momentum of the sea. The mountains are hidden in the city, and the temple is hidden in the sea. It is known as the Loga Temple in the Buddhist Kingdom of Heaven and Sea, which is very beautiful.
Try to choose a sunny day to come here. The sea surrounds on all sides, and you enter from the bridge entrance. When you arrive, the tide has receded. If you can encounter it, it is extremely spectacular. The tranquility of the temple is different from the hustle and bustle of the city, which is very comfortable and pleasant.
In the summer at three or four o'clock, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Loga Temple while strolling by the sea. At sunset, there is another beautiful scene. If you like to take pictures, you can come here.
There really is a temple on the sea, and it's in Quanzhou!
In Quanzhou, known as "half city of fireworks, half city of immortals", half is temples and half is daily life.
Quanzhou has never lacked temples ⛩️, but this sea temple is so special~
.
It is located on the Gold Coast, facing the Taiwan Strait, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the waves keep hitting the reefs 🌊.
Only one stone bridge connects this side of the earth, and from the sky, it looks like a floating paradise in the sea~
.
The temple is entirely yellow, and at sunset 🌇, the sunlight shines on the temple.
From afar, it looks like a golden palace~
Can't help but say, Quanzhou people are really good at building temples!
.
Walking in every corner of the temple, you can feel surrounded by the ocean.
On one side is the sea, on the other side is the Pure Land of Buddha 🙏🏻.
Who would have thought that temples and the sea could be combined so charmingly!
.
🏯Luogas Temple
Suggestion to drive 🚗, it takes 1.5 hours from Xiamen.
Admission is free, and there is a parking lot at the entrance.
Next to it is a beach 🏖️, and there are quite a few locals playing here~
.
📷It is not recommended for everyone to stand on the platform to take photos. It is very dangerous to fall onto the rocks and the sea if you lose your balance.❌
The wind is a bit strong, it's better to come on a sunny day ☀️.
GlobeTrekkingAdventures_555 Luojia Temple
A temple born from the sea, within which you gaze upon the sea; a Buddhist realm between the sea and sky, known as Luojia.
Situated on Gongyu Island off the eastern coast of Shishi's Golden Beach, Luojia Temple is a renowned site for the worship of the Bodhisattva Guanyin in the Minnan region. The temple halls are orderly and solemn, with the Circular Treasure Hall enshrining the Bodhisattva Guanyin. On either side of the entrance, there is a bell tower and a drum tower, and directly in front of the hall lies the Taiwan Strait. Luojia Temple is connected to the mainland during low tide and submerged in the sea at high tide, hence it is also referred to as the 'Buddhist realm between the sea and sky'.
