Quanzhou is the first national historical and cultural city. There is a clean temple in Tumen Street. The construction history can be traced back to 1009 AD. It was the Dazhong Xiangfu years of the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, the trade between the Great Song and the Arab world was frequent. Many Arab businessmen lived in Quanzhou or often went to Quanzhou to do business. The special needs of the faith led to the construction of the Qingjing Temple. The main building material of the Qingzhou Qingjing Temple is stone. This material is very strong, and the general typhoon and earthquake can not cause damage. The building is sturdy and can't be never bad. Both the Yuan and Ming dynasties had maintained the Quanzhou Qingjing Temple. During the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, they were greatly damaged by natural disasters. This exotic temple could not be restored to its original appearance. Now inside the Qingjing Temple, you can see the restored wall and some pillars. They tell the people the long history as the historical artifacts of the vicissitudes of life. The various temples, theaters and ruins of ancient cities in Europe are no different. Quanzhou Qingjing Temple is the oldest and largest Islamic temple in China. Its architectural style is in line with the mosque in Damascus, the capital of Syria. After a long period of time, this ancient temple still has main buildings such as the gatehouse, the worship hall, and the Mingshan Hall.

Quanzhou City Seaside Two-Day Tour Itinerary

🚗🚗🚗Travel Route: Day1: Zhongshan Street in Quanzhou→Qingjing Mosque→Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou→West Street→East Street→Quanzhou Huaxiang Catholic Church→Windmill Island Day2: Wudian City Traditional District→Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village→Shishi Ten-mile Golden Coast On the first day, check in at the West Street scenic spot in the city in the morning. Since I traveled during the New Year period, it's best to head out early, around eight o'clock to West Street. Parking is more available near the Kaiyuan Temple parking lot, and there are fewer people in the morning. After checking in at the city's scenic spots, have breakfast by the way. After ten o'clock, the crowd starts to increase. At this point, don't go to the West Street parking lot anymore, as there's basically no space to enter, and it's a waste of time. After checking out West Street, head to Hui'an Windmill Island. You can stop along the way at the beach to take photos. Cars can only park by the roadside. You can drive up the mountain directly from the entrance to Windmill Island. The scenery is nice with not many people. If you have time, you can walk down from the top of the mountain along the coastal road to take photos. On the second day, Wudian City, Wulin, and Luojia Temple. Wudian City and Wulin have similar styles, but overall Wulin seems a bit better. If you have enough time, you can visit both. Luojia Temple is suitable for self-driving, not worth it by taxi, and it's troublesome to return, hard to hail a cab, and really crowded. It takes about an hour to stroll around and take photos, the experience is just average. The two-day itinerary did not include Xunpu Village, which is close to the city area and too crowded, so there's no need to go there and squeeze. Windmill Island is the most worthwhile visit, with fewer people and a good experience, and the scenery is nice. If you want to check in and take photos at West Street, it's best to come in the morning. At other times, it's too crowded. The main thing about going out is to avoid crowds, otherwise, the experience is really bad. Overall, most of the scenic spots in Quanzhou this time are mainly for photo-taking and checking in, similar to the recent online trend. The main reason to come is still for taking photos, with a special recommendation for Windmill Island!!

Qingjing mosque in Quanzhou

#timetotravel Qingjing mosque is the oldest mosque in China, standing in its present site for over 1300 years! it is located around 1.5km from the main West Street and convenient to get to. The entry costs just 3 RMB, but beware that women must cover up modestly to enter. I saw other female visitors denied entry because they were wearing skirts. Inside you can find ruins from centuries ago, while prayer rooms that are still in use today! #quanzhou #fujian

Qingjing Temple and Guandi Temple, two large temples of different styles and different styles, only 50 meters away, is also amazing. Quanzhou people have a saying that "you believe in your Mohammed, I worship my Guan Erye", this is what it means. It is also rare that many religions can coexist peacefully in a city and develop together. When I saw the Guandi Temple, which was full of incense, I suddenly realized that it was said that Quanzhou was a "city of light".
