Nanputuo Temple is next to Xiamen University, where Guanyin Bodhisattva is dedicated and Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang Province is a Buddha. It is located in the south, so it is called Nanputuo Temple.

Nanputuo Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, but it changed its name after several vicissitudes, and now it is rebuilt in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The temple is backed by the five old peaks, facing the sea, with mountains and seas and excellent feng shui.

Nanputuo Temple is magnificent. First, enter the Heavenly King's Hall for a statue of Maitreya Buddha, and there are bells and drums on the second floor behind the hall. The second entrance to the Hall of the Great Hero is a corner-saving building on the second floor, which contains the "Buddha of the Third World" and the statues of Guanyin with thousands of hands and eyes and Ananda Sakyamuni. The third hall is the Great Compassion Hall, which is an octagonal pavilion-style building with three double eaves and a height of more than 1 meters. There are four Guanyin statues inside, and there are eyes in the palm to show "boundless magic".

there is a sutra depository behind the temple. There are many inscriptions around Nanputuo Temple, including poems by Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese, and stone carvings by Shen Yourong, a general anti-Dutch, and chandy, the first scholar who went to Taiwan from Fujian.

in Nanputuo Temple, there is the Minnan Buddhist College, which accommodates monks and nuns. In Wanshi Gulian Temple, there are female classes of Minnan Buddhist College, all of which are monks and nuns with haircuts, and some young nuns with haircuts. Wanshilian Temple is a great scenic spot on Shishan Mountain. Temple was built in Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in Qing Dynasty. Because there are many stones around, it is named. On the right side of the temple, there is a huge stone soaring abruptly, and there is a deep pit under it. During the Jiaqing period of Xingquan Yongdao, the stone was inscribed with the word "Shilin", which is vigorous and simple. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the lion mountain, overlooking the urban scenery and seeing everything in the city. There are four Chinese characters "ten thousand days in the sky" at the back of the temple. Under it, there is a secluded valley and a spring, and there is a hole in the sky, named "Little Taoyuan".

Next to Wanshi Gulian Temple, there are female classes of Minnan Buddhist College. I remember that several years ago, scholars went to visit a teacher of the Buddhist College and talked with the students of the female class for a while. At an early age, it is not easy for them to study hard in places where tourists are woven. There are only two things you can console yourself with: first, the picturesque scenery in front of you and behind you is also a blessing; Second, the female students of Minnan Buddhist College don't necessarily have to cut their hair and dress in plain clothes, but they can also wear red and green and modern clothes.

There is a stone cave behind the temple, which runs through the front and back. The wind is swishing, and the valley is corresponding, so it is called "whistling cave". There are three poems in the cave, one of which was written by Shi Dezheng, an anti-Japanese general from Taicang, Jiangsu Province. As the poem goes:

Pian Shi Chun spent all his time crossing Penghu, and the Lord first divided overseas symbols.

the thunder sounded on the drum, and the waves spread flat.

it's hard to tell the evil atmosphere in the sun, but the sky is lonely.

It is advisable to sing early to celebrate the Tao. There are perches in the south of the Yangtze River in May.

The peak of Hongji in the northeast of Xiamen has Yunding bank, formerly known as Fangguang Temple, which is the highest peak in Xiamen. In the past, there was still a view of the Japanese platform, which was adjacent to the sea in the east, and the sunrise was considerable, forming a "Hongji View of the Sun", which is one of the eight great sights in Xiamen. Stone carvings on Tama Cliff nearby. At the top of the northern slope of Shishan Mountain, there is Taiping Rock. The caves and springs in front of Taiping Rock are hidden, and the flowing water is gurgling.

This stone is made up of four different natural rocks. The two huge stones on it are attached to each other, and the other end is open, just like an opening in a pen, which is vivid. The stone is inscribed with the word "stone smile", and the poet Mo Ke wrote a poem to praise this unique scene. There is a five-line saying:

On a peaceful day of bliss, Lu Jiangshi laughs and resents.

there are many things in laughter, but you can't say them.

Another five-rhythm cloud:

Suddenly, I saw the stone opening, but I didn't hear the sound of the stone.

at night, you swallow the moonlight, and at night, you spit out your feelings.

after drinking in the Millennium pavilion, the dining style is clear.

peace is really good, and a long laugh will stop the soldiers.

It is said that there are often partridges living between Taiping Rock and Wanshiyan in Shishan, so it is called "partridge rock", also known as "Zhongyan". There is a Buddhist temple in Zhongyan to worship the Tathagata. There is a "Soldiers Pavilion" nearby, which is said to be built to mourn the soldiers who died in Penghu with Shi Lang's eastward advance to Taiwan Province. Now there are still stone tablets. There is a slim boulder next to it, which is shaped like stalagmites, commonly known as the "playing board".
