Reverse Tourism in Shishi

⭐️ 'Buddhist Kingdom on the Sea' Luoji Temple, the architectural style of Luoji Temple is simple and generous, with red roofs and yellow walls complementing each other. The temple is built on the sea, and between the tides, there is the beautiful scenery of the temple rising from the sea, where you can gaze upon the sea. Not far to the west, there is also a Guanyin platform with a statue of the Water-Dripping Guanyin Bodhisattva. Here, one can both feel the strong Buddhist atmosphere and enjoy the magnificent view of the sea. Strolling on the Golden Coast beach, watching the unique reef landscape, and admiring the beauty of the tidal flats. ⭐️ Yongning Ancient Garrison Town is very close to Luoji Temple, about 1 kilometer away on foot. Built in 1394, the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it was known as one of the three major garrisons in the country, along with Tianjin Wei and Weihai Wei. The ancient town is quite large and well-preserved, where you can see many 'fanzi' buildings, as well as the City God Temple and the God of Wealth Temple. Many local residents live here, which is rich in local folk customs. There are few tourists in the scenic area, no commercial atmosphere, and you can quietly stroll in the ancient town. ⭐️ Xiangzhi Wharf is a very distinctive fishing port wharf, with houses built along the coastline in tiers, fishing boats docked by the sea, and pleasant scenery. This is not a tourist area, and there are few people. If you want to go to the popular spot Xiangzhi 'Little Weihai,' you need to navigate to 'Xiao Niu Manicure' with a high-definition map, or take a local tricycle for 5 yuan per person, which will take you directly there. There is a sloping road with houses on both sides, which is very photogenic and gives a sense of depth, feeling like you've gone to Weihai. ⭐️ Luoji Temple is located on Gongyu Island, off the Minnan Golden Coast in Shishi City, facing the Taiwan Strait, covering an area of more than twenty acres. Luoji Temple is one of the rare temples built by the sea, which can be described as a temple on the sea, with the temple riding on a dragon. This is where you can feel the grandeur of Buddhism and the inclusive spirit of the sea. ⭐️ Luoji Temple is located on a small reef island (Gongyu Island) on the left side of the Golden Coast. If you encounter high tide, it looks like it's floating on the sea, hence it is known as the 'Penglai Buddhist Country'.
