Its roots go back to the Tang Dynasty, when it was first built in 686. Amazingly beautiful mulberry tree which is also believed to be 1,300 years old. This is a large temple complex with 120 buildings over a 89,000 square meter area. Lots of beautiful sculptures.

Good to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and be with nature. It is an easy and short local bus (1 yuan) ride from downtown Quanzhou to the park entrance. Use Baidu map to check how and which bus to take to get there. The park entrance ticket is 70 yuan. Note that the hike is medium difficulty and the path is well maintained. Good to go in the morning. I walked all the way to the Statues of the 3 Buddha. Prepare to spend about 3 hours. You will be rewarded with beautiful scenery of Quanzhou from this mountain and a great well maintained nature trail. Some key recommended attractions are: - Laojun rock - Stupa of Master Hongyi - Mituo Rock and Temple - Statues of the 3 Buddha - Thousand hands temple
5. Qingjing Mosque

Amazing history of Islam in China, a good presentation and beautiful Arabic caligraphy done in Chinese style. It is an eye opening place and shows the tolerance of the Chinese to other religions and people.
