I am familiar with Xiamen. I used to go to Xiamen often. It can be said that I am familiar with most of the scenic spots in Xiamen. There are really too many people on Gulangyu Island during the National Day, so we will avoid it during the National Day. Let's go to Gulangyu Island... It's really boring to go to "Dumplings". I recommend a scenic route with equally outstanding scenery. Let's take a look~

Introduction to attractions

It was built in the late Tang Dynasty and was called Sizhou Temple. It was renamed Puzhao Temple during the Song Zhiping period. In the early Ming Dynasty, the temple was deserted until the Qing Dynasty. It was rebuilt during the Kangxi period. Because it is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is similar to the Guanyin Temple in Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang. It is also named "Nan Putuo Temple" to the south of Putuo Mountain. It is one of the Buddhist resorts in southern Fujian.

Play experience

There is a large life-release pond in front of the temple. There are many green shades and stone benches beside the pond for people to cool off and rest. This feels quite considerate, after all. It’s really hot in Xiamen, so I can cool off by relying on the water. The architecture of Nanputuo Temple is particularly beautiful. The northern temple has a row of ridged beasts on the roof. The decoration here looks like exaggerated and winding colorful waves, which is particularly beautiful.

Summary of the tour:

The architecture of Nanputuo Temple is very characteristic of southern Fujian. Compared with the rough temples in the north, it is more delicate and beautiful.

Nanputuo vegetarian cakes are also famous and can be given as souvenirs.

Xiamen University is also the filming location of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower"! I wish I could have followed this drama back then...

The Xiamen Garden and Botanical Garden is open-air and very sunny, so you must take sun protection, but taking photos is also very photogenic.
