Follow Wukong to Quanzhou | Find the Monkey King at Kaiyuan Temple~.

| Find the Monkey King at Kaiyuan Temple~. Quanzhou is already very popular, but with the global popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong", Quanzhou has become even more popular! In the game, Kaiyuan Temple is on fire🔥; in fact, in history, Kaiyuan Temple was also destroyed twice in the Southern Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. 🐒I don't know if Wukong and his disciples passed by Kaiyuan Temple on their journey to the west; but in Kaiyuan Temple, there is indeed a Monkey King. Haha, I found it too! Let's go to Kaiyuan Temple with me~ 🔴Kaiyuan Temple Highlights: 🔸Couplet "This place is known as the Buddha country, and the streets are full of saints." Every Quanzhou person knows this couplet in the Heavenly King Hall of Kaiyuan Temple, written by Zhu Xi and written by Master Hongyi. 🔸East and West Towers The East and West Towers are definitely the business card of Kaiyuan Temple, namely the Zhen Guo Tower in the east and the Ren Shou Tower in the west, which are original objects of the Song Dynasty; they still stand tall after the 1604 Quanzhou earthquake. 🔸Thousand-year-old Mulberry Lotus On the west side of the Daxiong Hall, there is a 1300-year-old mulberry tree, which was once struck by lightning into 3 trees, but still survives to this day. 🔸Relief Stone There is a stone carving of the word "heart" on the side of the base of the West Tower, but the writing is quite unique, with the point in the heart at the bottom, implying "lift up all kinds of troubles and put down all things empty" 🔸Monkey King Stone Carving On the body of the West Tower, there are more than 80 stone carvings, all of which are Buddhist figures. Among them, one is not a saint, but a Monkey King, a stone carving of the Monkey King "Hanuman". You might as well go and find it, and see if it looks like Wukong. 👍🏻Kaiyuan Temple now has the most flower-wearing girls, and I believe that many foreign tourists will come here soon. "Black Myth: Wukong" is a very successful cultural output!
