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 May)
I regret not coming to Quanzhou earlier
Quanzhou, half a city of fireworks and half a city of immortals, is a place you must visit at least once in your life~ There is a temple every 500 meters here, which is the office of the gods on earth, the most beautiful coastline selected by National Geographic, and a food paradise for individuals!
🌈Classic one-day tour route
West Street (the most intact ancient street in Quanzhou city)-Kaiyuan Temple (the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian Province, once called Lotus Temple, which arouses the DNA of my lotus head)-Xiaoxi Cheng (net red wall)-Bell Tower-Zhongshan Street-Fu Wen Temple-Guan Yue Temple-Tianhou Palace
🌈Photo route
Because this trip stayed in Hui'an County Julong Town Longgu Mountain House, which is a 40-minute drive away, so I only went to the most out-of-the-picture West Street➕Kaiyuan Temple, enjoy the city scenery and rest in the rooftop coffee shop~ In the afternoon, I went to Xifu Begonia in Xunpu Village to take ancient costumes~ (This will be introduced in detail in the next article)
🌈Food recommendation
We had breakfast at the hotel➕went to the rooftop coffee on West Street, and ate Song Xiaojin·Quanzhou Restaurant in Xunpu Village after taking pictures in the evening (the best meal of this trip, praise me for finding delicious food)
Around 7:30 I went back to Longgu Mountain House to rest, and arrived at more than 8:00, it was still early to take a walk or let the housekeeper arrange a car to go to the hot spring♨️ are good choices~
I really like this slow-paced town, which reminds me of my hometown~ I want to bring my loved ones again next time🥰
Life advice, go to these places before leaving Quanzhou
Quanzhou is a city that you should visit at least once in your life.
This is my second time in Quanzhou, I really love it here, not only does it have a rich Minnan ancient residential style, unique architectural design, countless temples and Taoist temples, but also the lively atmosphere of walking around the streets.
✍🏻Please keep this three-day and two-night niche travel guide
'Day 1'
📍Millennium West Street-Bell Tower-Youli Coffee Shop-Kaiyuan Temple-1915 Art Space
📍Wulin Traditional Village-Luoja Temple-Gold Coast
🚄Travel
Quanzhou has three train stations, Quanzhou Station is in the city, closest to West Street, most of the attractions are near West Street, you can walk around, or you can reach by bus, prefer Quanzhou Station, Quanzhou South Station is in Jinjiang, close to Wulin and Shishi. (The ancient city beckons with a small white car 2r/person, and the taxi is not expensive)
Specific itinerary:
Day1: Millennium West Street is a must-go, it gathers all the food and snacks in Quanzhou, full of lively atmosphere, my first picture was taken on the rooftop of Youli Coffee Shop, or you can get the same position on the rooftop of Berry Super Crazy, the bell tower is at the entrance of West Street.
1915 Art Space is a century-old building in the alley of West Street, enter from the Pei Alley of West Street, the environment inside is very quiet, now it is transformed into a western restaurant, there is also afternoon tea, very suitable for leisure.
Another entrance to West Street is Kaiyuan Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and is the oldest millennium ancient temple in Fujian. The east and west twin towers are even more exquisite when you look closer.
Day2: Wulin Traditional Village is the place where I stayed the longest this time. The key is that there are few people, and you can really feel the charm of Quanzhou's century-old Nanyang architectural group. In addition to the Minnan official mansion, it also integrates Gothic architecture and ancient Roman style, which is really amazing!
The sea Luoja Temple is near Wulin, half an hour's drive away. It is known as the Buddhist country on the sea, and the aerial photography is also very good.
The Golden Coast of Shishi is also nearby. If you like the sea, you might as well go to see the sea, but the wind is very strong in winter, so keep warm.
🍜Quanzhou food
Shuimen Guozi noodle paste, taro cake, ginger duck, roast pork zongzi, satay noodles (I personally think Yifeng satay noodles are okay, less than 30 with shrimp and fish balls)
In general, this trip costs a few thousand, it is really a domestic niche travel destination.

Wulin Traditional Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Before leaving Quanzhou, be sure to leave a day for this 600-year-old village
Don't just know to go to West Street and Zanhua when you go to Quanzhou~😆 If you want to avoid the crowd and feel the Minnan ancient house style, 🛖 you must go to this Nanyang ancient village in Quanzhou that has a history of 600 years‼️
📍Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village
🎫No tickets required
🚗I took a taxi from the airport after getting off the plane, it only takes 15 minutes, and it takes about 50 minutes from Quanzhou city
The buildings here are very distinctive, 📷 there are many photo spots, and you can also experience the Nyonya costume, which can better integrate into the scene.
📷Share my machine position, but there are more beautiful places that you can discover while walking around✅
👉Chaodong Building, Five-story House, Pit Wall Building, Stage, Bridge Batch Hall, Gun Building, etc.
I personally suggest that you can rush here the day you get off the ✈️ plane or the day you are going to fly away, leaving 2-3h is enough, because it is very close to the airport and will not detour.
Quanzhou! Compared to West Street! I prefer this century-old village!
Compared to the crowded West Street,
I prefer this century-old village in Quanzhou.
With a history of over 600 years,
It combines Chinese, Western and Minnan architectural styles,
It's really photogenic here!
.
📍Quanzhou Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village
🚗About 20 minutes from the airport, about 40 minutes drive from West Street
.
The Wulin traditional village was built by overseas Chinese who returned home years ago, so it has both Western style and Minnan characteristics.
.
Travel Tips:
✔️The Chaodong Tower at the entrance is the most photogenic one, with a strong Western Roman style, both the front and the inside are very photogenic.
.
✔️The wall and tree at the entrance of the visitor center, when the sun is out, the light and shadow are super beautiful!
.
✔️The old houses and alleys, red walls and tiles, any corner is very photogenic!
.
It is recommended to reserve half a day for a visit here, you can change into a Nyonya costume~ I just happened to have a hairpin flower that day, so I didn't change.
.
Thank you for reading, see you next time👋🏻
Heading to Wulin for a rendezvous in the South Seas
How can one miss the Nyonya costume change in Wulin when visiting Quanzhou?
The joy that cost 80 yuan today was given by Wulin~
Once you arrive at the Wulin scenic area, you'll see Nyonya costume changes everywhere. My personal suggestion is that unless you have already made an appointment with a very popular internet-famous store and photographer, your choice should be like shopping for clothes: you can go into the store to browse, find the style and color of the clothes you like in advance, and then let the merchant match them for you. Try to find a larger store with clean costumes and a complete range of accessories, where you can pick first and pay later. Don't be shy; make sure to choose something you're satisfied with. The 80 yuan includes a set of clothes, a vest, hairstyle, and shoes, all at a uniform price. If you want more choices, be sure to go early, otherwise the clothes might be rented out by others. Makeup requires an additional fee. Unless you really don't know how to take photos, or you are traveling alone, finding a photographer on the spot is likely to be a disappointment. The final photos may not have the same feel as the customer photos you see on the platform, and the customer photos they show you may not even be taken by their own photographers, or they may not be able to arrange for that photographer for you at the moment. Most of them are the kind of package deals that come with the store's assembly line. Although the price won't be very expensive, starting from 200 or 300 yuan, I personally don't like the experience of that assembly line. In short, the Nyonya costume change is still worth experiencing, and as for the rest, it depends on personal needs.
The most photogenic spots are basically around the 'Chaodong Building', the closest building to the intersection. Wulin is currently not only free of admission but also free parking, although the parking lot is about a 10-minute walk from the scenic area.
May Day is a must-play!! Jinjiang Wulin's red brick ancient houses are endlessly photogenic
As someone from Jinjiang, I finally have the chance to endorse my hometown!
This time, Wulin is too cool‼️
There are various trendy activities among the red brick ancient houses that keep the excitement going
Stroll through the market stalls, enjoy the youth music concert
Experience the blend of simplicity and liveliness🌺
All kinds of Southeast Asian coffee and food
Let your taste buds take you through the flavors of the overseas Chinese hometown
Save this guide and you're all set!!

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 ☀️.

Bai Yansong's quote 'This is a city you should visit at least once in your lifetime' drove me to take a 10-hour drive to Quanzhou~

Quanzhou, 'once known as the Buddha's land, where the whole city is full of saints.'
The overall architecture is very ancient and closely connected to the sea.
