Quanzhou Guandi and Yuefei Temple | Two Saints in One Temple, Civil and Military Brilliance

| Two saints in one temple, civil and military brilliance. 📸 Quick Overview Located amidst the bustling Tuomen Street, Quanzhou Tonghuai Guandi and Yuefei Temple is one of the most popular temples in Southern Fujian! Dedicated to Guan Yu and Yue Fei, it features three halls standing side by side, with upturned eaves and intricate carvings showcasing the essence of ancient Southern Fujian architecture. Vermilion lacquered plaques and swirling incense smoke create a unique tapestry of faith, attracting even overseas Chinese. 🌟 Must-See Highlights 1️⃣ Architectural Aesthetics: The Wucheng Hall, Chongxian Hall, and Sanyi Temple are interconnected, with breathtaking wood and stone carvings. The porcelain dragon sculptures and depictions of birds and beasts on the roof ridges make for stunning photos (photography is prohibited inside the temple, but feel free to take pictures outside). 2️⃣ Fortune-Telling Experience: The "jiaobei" divination is highly believed in by Southern Fujian people! The process is detailed: first, state your personal information → throw the jiaobei blocks → draw a lot → interpret the lot (interpretation is free). It's said to be very accurate. 3️⃣ Cultural Treasures: See Zhu Xi's handwritten "Righteousness" plaque, Zhang Ruitu's "Filling Heaven and Earth" plaque, and Song Dynasty stone inscriptions. A cultural enthusiast's dream! ⏰ Visiting Guide ✅ Time: 06:00–18:00 (morning visits are recommended, as there are fewer people and the atmosphere is more solemn) 🎫 Tickets: Free! Incense can be brought or purchased on-site. 🚶 Route: Tiangong (Jade Emperor) → Guandi (Guan Yu) and Yuefei → Master Ma → Earth God → visit the three halls → burn joss paper (9 steps in total, follow a local grandma for the correct procedure). ⚠️ Note: Photography is prohibited inside the halls. Dress modestly. When seeking a fortune, silently state your question clearly! 🚌 Transportation Guide 📍 Address: 186 Tuomen Street, Licheng District, Quanzhou City 🚌 Bus: Take bus No. 4/6/14/19 to "Guandi Temple Station" 🚗 Car: Navigate to "Tonghuai Guandi and Yuefei Temple." There are parking lots nearby (parking spaces on Tuomen Street are limited; parking at the Zhongmin Baihui Mall is recommended).
