Thank you to Li Xian for introducing me to this Buddhist paradise between sea and sky

🎈Luojia Temple 🎈Originally built during the Tang Dynasty 🎈Sacred site of Guanyin Bodhisattva 🎈Surrounded by sea on all sides, coexisting with the tides 🎈Houses one of the largest Thousand-Hand Guanyin statues in China 🎈The temple combines traditional wooden architectural techniques from Southern Fujian with Buddhist cultural elements 🎈Covers over 20 mu of land, directly facing the Taiwan Strait ✉️Travel Guide 🚇Transportation 943 Golden Coast, Yongning Town, Shishi City, Quanzhou 1. 🚗: 40km from Quanzhou, 25km from Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport, 50km from Quanzhou Station, 30km from Jinjiang Station, 17km from Quanzhou South Station. Driving or taking a taxi is definitely the most convenient 2. 🚌: Accessible via Shishi Bus Route 5/Shishi Bus Route 801 🛌Accommodation Luojia Temple is right next to Golden Coast Beach. Besides visiting the temple, relaxing on the beach is very pleasant, especially in the early morning and evening. I personally recommend staying here for a few days if you have time. The Seaside Puxe Resort Hotel next to Golden Coast offers excellent conditions and views. For better value, there are several nice guesthouses like Hai Zhi Jing and Hai Yu Shi Guang that you can compare. 🥣Dining There are vendors and a KFC pop-up store at the entrance of Luojia Temple. Along Golden Coast, you'll find KFC, several restaurants, and a 24-hour convenience store. For authentic local cuisine, you'll need to travel 15km to Bagua Street, where many Shishi specialties are available (see my next post for details). 🏜Attractions 1. Luojia Temple 2. Golden Coast Beach 3. Yongning Ancient Town (2.5km) 4. Xiangzhi Town's "Little Weihai" of Shishi (15km away) 5. Bagua Food Street (15km away) 🎬Recommended Itinerary For a quick visit, half a day is sufficient For a relaxing vacation, at least two days
