Quanzhou

清净寺

Qingjing Temple Qingjing Temple is located at No. 108-110 Tumen Street, Licheng District. It was built in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1009) in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is one of the oldest existing Islamic temples in China. The gatehouse imitates the style of the Damascus chapel in Syria, with bluestone pointed arches and Arabic stone carvings. The roof of the "Fengtian Temple" of the worship hall has long since collapsed, leaving only the ruins of stone pillars. Instead, it has become a very atmospheric filming corner. It is across the street from Guanyue Temple. The scene of two religions on one street is the epitome of diversity and tolerance in Quanzhou.

洛阳桥

Luoyang Bridge Luoyang Bridge is located at the junction of Wan'an Street in Luojiang District and Luoyang Town in Hui'an County. It was built in 1053 in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is the earliest existing cross-sea stone bridge in China. It is also known as the four ancient bridges in China along with Marco Polo Bridge, Guangji Bridge and Zhaozhou Bridge. Its most famous "black technology" is "growing oysters to consolidate the foundation" - raising oysters on the bridge foundation and using oyster shells to cement the scattered stones together. It is the earliest record in the world of using organisms for bridge engineering. Public transportation: It is more convenient to take a taxi from the city. If you drive by yourself, you can navigate to the "Luoyang Bridge South Official Convenient Parking Lot".

开元寺

Kaiyuan Temple Kaiyuan Temple is located at No. 176 West Street, Licheng District. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,300 years. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian. The east and west twin pagodas (Zhenguo Pagoda and Renshou Pagoda) in the temple are the tallest existing stone pagodas from the Song Dynasty in China. The pure mortise and tenon structure has stood for thousands of years. The west pagoda also has a "Monkey Walker" relief that is more than 300 years earlier than "Journey to the West". It is one of the filming locations for "Black Myth: Wukong". The 24 flying musicians and Hindu stone carvings in the Main Hall all reflect the integration of multi-cultural cultures along the Maritime Silk Road.

清源山景区

Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area combines mountain scenery, religious statues and historic remains. Laojun Rock is an important attraction in the main mountain section. The officially designated area also includes Lingshan Holy Tombs and Jiuri Mountain; these sections do not form one continuous walking route. Reference photographs focus on Laojun Rock and its surroundings, not the other areas.

蟳埔村

Changpu Village is located in Donghai Street, Fengze District. It is the settlement of Changpu girls, one of the three major fishing girls in Fujian. It is most famous for the "Hairpin Flower Wai" intangible cultural heritage and the "Oyster Shell House" made of oyster shells. The grandmothers in the village wear hairpins every day. The oyster shell house is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the fishing port on the seaside is full of everyday atmosphere in the evening. Public transportation: It takes about 20 minutes to take a taxi from the city. The location of "Changpu Ship Management Station" is the most accurate. Don't search for "Changpu Village" directly because it will make you far away; take bus K301, 44, or 39 to the "Changpu Vegetable Market" stop.

西街

West Street West Street is the oldest street in Quanzhou. It started in the Tang Dynasty and extends from the Bell Tower to Kaiyuan Temple. Along the street are red brick ancient houses and swallow-tail ridges, snacks and cultural and creative shops are intertwined. It is the most smoky section of the ancient city. The main street is not long. You can walk from the Bell Tower to Kaiyuan Temple in ten minutes, but you can eat all the way if you stroll slowly. Public transportation: Motor vehicles are prohibited on West Street, and vehicles can only park outside the bell tower; in the ancient city, you can take a white car to the nearby area and then walk.

泉州天后宫

Quanzhou Tianhou Temple is one of the important existing Mazu belief centers, located near the south gate of the ancient city and the old port channel. The layers of temples, decorative roofs and ceremonial spaces reflect the tradition of sailors and merchants praying for protection before dangerous voyages, and also show how Fujian communities spread their beliefs to a wider region along with coastal migration and overseas trade networks.

泉州海外交通史博物馆

The Quanzhou Overseas Transportation History Museum provides a complete framework for understanding scattered heritage sites across the city. Ship models, maritime trade artifacts and religious stone carvings record navigation technology, exchange of goods, and communities from Arabia, Persia, India and other places; Song ship-related materials and multilingual inscriptions unearthed in Houzhu transformed the abstract "Maritime Silk Road" into concrete evidence of ships, people, technology and beliefs.
