Wudang Mountain, unknown to locals - Quanzhou Zhenwu Temple

Regarding the Wudang Mountain in Quanzhou, I asked several locals in a row, including the lady who runs a homestay, the makeup artist who put flowers on my hair in Xiapu and her friend, and the taxi driver, but they all didn't know. "There is also a Wudang Mountain in Quanzhou. Isn't Wudang Mountain in Hubei? Where is the Wudang Mountain in Quanzhou?" In fact, there really is a Wudang Mountain [Facepalm]. Quanzhou Wudang Mountain is Quanzhou Zhenwu Temple, located on the north bank of Jinjiang River at the foot of Shitou Mountain in the east of Quanzhou City. It is a Taoist temple and an important landmark of the ancient Shigang. It was first built in the Song Dynasty. Zhen Dexiu, the governor of Quanzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, offered sacrifices to the Zhenwu Emperor here in the early 13th century and prayed for safe navigation. The belief in the sea god embodied in the Zhenwu Temple was an important spiritual sustenance for the merchant groups engaged in maritime trade during the Song and Yuan dynasties. At the same time, as a place for Quanzhou officials to worship the sea, Zhenwu Temple reflects the government's encouragement and promotion of maritime trade. I accidentally found a little lion in the Zhenwu Temple. Although no one knew about it, it looked healthy, contented, and free and beautiful... [Love]
