| Climb a mountain and explore seven temples for free, Quanzhou is indeed a fairyland. The World Heritage Site, Jiuri Mountain in Quanzhou, is less than a hundred meters above sea level, but it has seven temples. Understanding these seven temples is to understand Jiuri Mountain, which helps to understand why this small mountain has become a World Cultural Heritage. The seven temples of Jiuri Mountain are two at the foot of the mountain (Yanfu Temple, Zhaohui Temple), three on the east peak (Mountain God Temple, Dengtai Temple, East Peak Taoist Temple), and two on the west peak (Land Temple, Stone Buddha Rock). 1. Yanfu Temple: The largest temple on Jiuri Mountain, built during the Western Jin Dynasty, more than 1700 years ago, is the earliest Buddhist temple in Quanzhou. The Indian monk Kuna Ratuo translated the Diamond Sutra here during the Southern Dynasty. 2. Zhaohui Temple: The Tongyuan King who is worshipped is the first sea god in China. The Quanzhou City Ship Office held a grand ceremony to pray for wind during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. 3. Mountain God Temple: The famous mountains in China are generally given a personified image of the mountain god. The Mountain God Temple of Jiuri Mountain is located on the waist of the east peak. 4. Dengtai Temple: Built during the Ming Dynasty, it mainly worships Jin Niangniang and Su Furen, locally known as "Dengtai Ma". This is also the place where Huang Yangmeng, a famous historical figure in Quanzhou, studied. 5. East Peak Taoist Temple: In the early Southern Song Dynasty, a Taoist priest set up a ceremony here to pray for blessings and disaster relief, hence the East Peak Taoist Temple. Today, there is a hall. Zhu Xi once lectured and preached here. 6. Land Temple: Worship the land god, worship the earth, pray for blessings and peace. Located on the waist of the west peak. 7.
