Half City Fireworks, Half City Immortals

There are small white cars in Quanzhou that operate within the area where most scenic spots are concentrated. They are very convenient and can be hailed at any time. Luojia Temple, Wulin Ancient Village, Chongwu Ancient City, and Luoyang Bridge are farther away, so you'll need to rent a car or take a taxi. 2.

Yongning Ancient Town

The ancient city of Yongning has a great feel! Located on Chenghuang Avenue in Shishi City, Quanzhou City, this place can be said to be a must-visit spot for history lovers. The ancient town of Yongning was built during the Mingwu period. Until the early Ming Dynasty, it played an important role in guarding the coast and resisting harassment by Japanese pirates. Walk in and you will see the preserved ancient streets and the unique Chenghuang Temple, which blend Chinese-style ancient architecture with local cultural characteristics. The weather was surprisingly good this time ☀️, so I took a leisurely walk in the ancient city to feel the signs of age. The architectural style of Stone Lion is a combination of Chinese and Western styles. You can really enjoy the cultural scenery while breathing the taste of history! If you want to take a slow tour, you can arrange a half-day to a day to chill in the ancient town - open all year round, no matter when you come, mark it!

Luojia Temple

When it comes to Shishi, Fujian, many people immediately think of delicious food and beaches. This tour takes you directly to Shishi's hidden spiritual spot: the underwater Buddhist temple, Luojia Temple! Nestled on the coast, the entire temple is not only incredibly spiritual, but also blends seamlessly into the serene sea and skyscape, making it a breathtaking photo op. On a clear day, it's even more breathtakingly ethereal. Recommended Attractions: 1️⃣ Luojia Temple 📍Address: Binhai East Road, Shishi City, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province ⏰Open year-round, 24 hours a day Located by the sea, Luojia Temple offers a truly unique experience. On clear days, the temple's roof and gates shimmer in the sunlight, with breathtaking ocean views behind. A fusion of modern architecture and traditional Chinese style, the temple's waterfront meets the tranquil river, creating a striking underwater scene. We highly recommend spending time in the square in front of the temple to savor the sea, the sacred architecture, and the vibrant cultural atmosphere—you'll never want to stop snapping photos. Most tourists just pass by quickly, but a careful exploration of every corner of the temple reveals many surprises—detailed carvings, quiet prayer corners, and, especially on sunny days, the vibrant colors create a vibrant, photogenic atmosphere. The temple is open year-round, allowing even novice travelers to visit or meditate at any time. Special Tip: Visit in the morning or afternoon; the temple and coastline are particularly spectacular in the sunlight, and the crowds are minimal. Food & Transportation Tips 1. There are local snack stalls at the entrance of Luojia Temple. I recommend trying the Shishi Shacha Beef to refuel before continuing your exploration. 2. From downtown Shishi, you can take a city bus directly to Binhai East Road. From there, walk a five-minute walk to the temple entrance. Transportation is very convenient, and the scenic area is free and open all day, so there's no need to worry about time limits. Additional Tips: - Sunscreen and sunglasses are highly recommended on sunny days. The beach is sunny but windy, making for excellent photography. - For a less crowded experience, avoid the holiday crowds. If you prefer a tranquil atmosphere, take a stroll along the beach. The view of the temple reflected in the water is truly soothing. Conclusion Shishi's Luojia Temple is a truly beautiful fusion of Buddhist exploration and natural exploration. Not only can you experience the aura of cultural architecture, but the soothing presence of the vast ocean is also a welcome relief. If you're visiting Shishi, consider planning a half-day or full-day trip to enjoy the underwater Buddhist temple on a sunny day, capturing both modern and traditional beauty! #ShishiSoulHealing #LuojiaTempleWaterBuddhistTemple #FujianCheck-In Spots #CoastalTemple #SunnyDayTravel
