Quanzhou Must-Visit | 【Cao'an Temple】The only remaining 'Mingjiao' site in the world!

The legendary 【Cao'an Temple】, the only remaining Manichean site in the world, is the 'Mingjiao' from Jin Yong's novels. Ever since I was young, reading Jin Yong's novels, the Mingjiao from 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' was particularly memorable. When I learned that Jinjiang's Cao'an Temple is the only remaining Manichean (Mingjiao) temple in the world, I was already intrigued. No matter what, I had to come and see it for myself~ Cao'an Temple is not big; it is a small temple. Entering from the mountain gate 'Wanshan Meifeng', you can see Cao'an after walking about fifty meters. It is located halfway up the mountain, with giant rocks as walls, surrounded by ancient and lush trees, a very quiet place. As a niche and less popular attraction, there are not many tourists here. Transportation: 🚗 It takes about half an hour to get here by taxi from the downtown area. 🎫: Free
