Quanzhou|Tianhou Palace|A temple, a city

There are many historical sites in the urban area of Quanzhou, among which the "Tianhou Palace of Quanzhou" is a must-see. The Tianhou Palace of Quanzhou has always been considered the highest architectural standard and the largest temple for worshiping Mazu at home and abroad. The famous Tianhou Palace, which was built in the early period of Mazu's enfeoffment in the Song Dynasty, with its three-tiered eave hip roof, highlights its lofty status, and the southern Fujian red brick gives it a noble color. From an aerial view, the city wall of Deji Gate can fall, and the Tianhou Palace still guards the south of Quanzhou Prefecture. For hundreds of years, the incense of Mazu has accompanied the sea-crossing ancestors from here, along the Maritime Silk Road to the sea, to Taiwan, Nanyang and the other shore. Address: No. 1, Tianhou Road, South Gate, Licheng District, Quanzhou City Ticket: Free Opening hours: 7:00_17:00
