Beautiful, incredible, absolutely amazing! Loved getting to see this temple, with all the intricate details. When visiting Xiamen, you can’t miss it!

This time the tour guide was married to the young lady who was married to Xiamen. She knew Xiamen in Fujian. She said a lot of local customs and habits along the way, and the historical origin of the ancient temple. great. The only downside is that 1.5h, about 1h is over, a little bit of meaning is still not enough. It is recommended to come to the ancient temple to ask the tour guide to explain, otherwise it is white!

Nanputuo Temple is located under Wulao Peak, southeast of Xiamen City, Fujian Province, adjacent to Xiamen University, facing Bicheng Harbor, the temple covers an area of 25.8 million square meters, and the construction area is 2.1270 million square meters. Founded in the end of the Tang Dynasty, it is called Sizhou Temple, and the name of Puzhao Temple was changed during the Song Zhiping period. In the early Ming Dynasty, the monastery was deserted, and it was not rebuilt until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Because of its worship of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, similar to the Guanyin Taochang in Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang Province, it is named "Nanputuo Temple" in the south of Putuo Mountain, one of the Buddhist resorts in southern Anhui. The blood book "Miaofa Lianhua Sutra" and the famous white porcelain Guanyin of He Dynasty are the most expensive in the temple during the Ming Wanli period. The main buildings on the central axis of Nanputuo Temple are the Temple of Heavenly Kings, the Temple of Daxiong, the Temple of Sacred Sorrow, and the Tibetan Jing Pavilion. There are Bell and Drum Tower, Chantang, Gutang, and warehouses on both sides. There are also the Nanbu Buddhist College, the Buddhist Yangzhengyuan, and the release pool in front of the temple. The whole monastery is magnificent and orderly.

It’s worth it. I don’t know so much about it without listening to the explanation. It’s good. I took the children and the children liked it very much.
