南普陀寺

Nanputuo Temple

Download poster

Nanputuo Temple is located at the foot of Wulao Peak. The Buddhist hall is spread out along the rising central axis, with cliff inscriptions and tree-shaded courtyards. The temple has been built many times in the past dynasties, and today it is still a place for religious activities, rather than simply an ornamental attraction. The space for worshiping Buddha, the vegetarian tradition and the mountain background all illustrate its continued influence in Xiamen.
