The most worthwhile place to go in Putian

【Putian Nanshan Guanghua Temple】We arrived in Putian yesterday, what comes to mind when you mention Putian? Haha! The shoe capital of China!!! Many famous brands like Nike, Adidas, etc. are produced here, but we didn't have time to visit the Shoe World Mall. After putting down our luggage, we had a meal of "four dishes", the freshly fried oyster omelette was superb! Then we drove to Nanshan Guanghua Temple, from a distance, the car still stopped we saw the tower, Annie said: This tower only has four floors, Old Rice replied: There must be one floor underground, haha, indeed, it's a sinking style. We just arrived in Quanzhou today, we went to Kaiyuan Temple to see the twin towers, I immediately said: Ah, at a glance, the Shakyamuni Pagoda of Putian Guanghua Temple really can't compare with the Zhen Guo Pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple. The side of the gate of Guanghua Temple is hung with the plaque of Fujian Buddhist College, I guess the old-fashioned building built behind the temple is the Buddhist College. Perhaps because of the Buddhist College here, there are many people chanting sutras in the Dharma Hall in the afternoon, when I went, the door was closed, I could only hear the sound. Later, I caught them coming out after the end, apart from the monks, most of them are elderly women, dressed in layman's clothes. They put their shoes and bags at the door, seemingly not worried about safety. The last picture is specially taken by me, you can feel that some details here seem to imitate Japanese temples, but I am very upset about the dirty phenomenon in many backyards of Chinese temples! It can be broken, it can be poor, but it can't be dirty!

I thought Quanzhou was beautiful enough until I encountered Putian, which is adjacent to it

There are too many people visiting Quanzhou, an unpopular city, so I went to Putian, a small city next door.
