Kaiyuan Temple

#discoverchina Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou was one of the calmest and most beautiful places I visited. It’s a really old Buddhist temple, built over 1,300 years ago, but still full of life and peace. I loved walking around the temple grounds, seeing the tall stone pagodas with their detailed carvings. What surprised me was the mix of cultures—there’s even a part with Hindu designs, which shows how open and rich the city’s history is. I spent around one hour there just enjoying the quiet and learning a bit about the past. It felt peaceful and special.
