Walk into the Qingjiao Tzu Chi Temple and feel the sacred light of humanity.

🌈Attractions: ① Profound history and culture: It was first built in the 21st year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1151) to commemorate Wu Ben, the Emperor of Baosheng. Wu Ben had superb medical skills and noble medical ethics. He cured and saved countless people among the people and was respected by the people. Its palace and temple buildings have undergone many renovations and expansions, and carry rich historical and cultural connotations. In 1996, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. In 2005, the Baosheng Dadi belief was listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Fujian Province, and in 2008 it was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list. ② Unique architectural style: The palace complex is a brick, stone and wood structure with a double-eaved hip roof. It faces east and the central axis gradually rises from east to west. The architectural style is typical Fujian stone carving style. The intricately carved stone pillars and walls, paired with the complex structure, intricate decorations and brightly colored vermilion wooden roof, fully demonstrate the beauty of "carved beams and painted buildings". There are 12 large stone pillars with coiled dragons in the palace, engraved with coiled dragons flying in the clouds, Eight Immortals wandering in the mountains, and mountains, rivers, and animals. The beams are carved with wood carvings of lions, elephants, dragons, phoenixes, and exotic flowers. The carvings are intricate and some of the stone pillars have unique shapes, which are rarely seen in palace and temple buildings in Fujian. ③Beautiful natural scenery: There is Qishan Mountain behind the palace and Longqiu on the left, with beautiful mountains and clear waters and tranquil scenery. In the valley on the left of Longqiu Temple there is Longqiu Pit, where water keeps flowing, rushing between the cracks in the rocks, like flying pearls and flowing jade. There are also stone scenes such as the "Heart" stone, the Danjing medicinal spring, the Fairy Drum Stone, and the Fairy Shoulder Pole. The flat-topped stone with the words "Longqiu" engraved on it sounds like beating a drum when hit, which is very magical. ④ The belief has a high status: its followers are spread across Southeast Asia and Fujian and Taiwan. It is known as the "First Tzu Chi Temple in Fujian and Taiwan" and is an important link for cultural exchanges across the Taiwan Straits. It is of great significance to the study of folk beliefs and cultural exchanges in Fujian and Taiwan. ⑤Rich cultural displays: The scenic area has the Baosheng Tzu Chi Cultural Ecological Exhibition Hall, the Fujian-Taiwan Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum, etc., which allow tourists to have an in-depth understanding of the life of Baosheng Dadi, Tzu Chi culture and the development of traditional Chinese medicine culture. 🕐️Scenic area opening hours: 08:30 - 17:30 all year round. 🏝️Route recommendation: - Morning: After arriving at the scenic spot, first visit the main hall of Tzu Chi Temple, admire the exquisite architecture and sculptures, and learn about the deeds of Baosheng Dadi and the religious culture of southern Fujian.
