The teacher's explanation was meticulous and interesting. It saved my play experience when there were too many people to blow up that day (I want to go back to the hotel directly when I see the people at the door ཀ`" ∠)__
It's really worth a visit. The incense is very strong and the temple can feel a quiet atmosphere.
The tour guide contacted one night in advance and learned that we stayed at Quanzhou Hotel and offered to pick us up at the hotel and take us to the alley. It rained the next morning. She lent us her umbrella and introduced it on the side of the road. Learn about Quanzhou architecture and Zongxu culture. It took about 3 hours from the meeting to the end of the Kaiyuan Temple explanation, very meticulous and thoughtful.
Had a pleasant time during Mr. Huang's exclusive explanation, which was a great value recommended travel experience. After booking, you will call in advance and communicate the visit time and meeting place, and the main one will start the day. Mr. Huang is very kind, knowledgeable and humorous, and the whole trip has added a lot of geography, culture, religion and architecture knowledge, and at the same time combine historical allusions to deeply understand the development of Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple. Teacher Huang will throw bricks and jade from time to time, and test my observation power. It is large to the beams, towers, and small to one brick and one tile. I have to say that it is really full of harvest, thank you again Mr. Huang!
