[2025 Shishi Attraction] Travel Guide for Luojia Temple (Updated Mar)

| I visited Quanzhou twice and only took 9 photos. I visited Quanzhou twice this year, but unfortunately, both times I encountered a typhoon, and the sky was always overcast. Fortunately, the red walls and orange tiles of old Quanzhou are warm colors even without sunlight. - 1️⃣ The red wall of Kaiyuan Temple. I saw many travel photographers standing in front of the red wall to take close-up shots. Actually, if you take a step back and include the roof of Kaiyuan Temple with its Minnan architectural style, it will look even better. 2️⃣ The Song Dynasty Twin Pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple. This is a medium telephoto aerial shot. 3️⃣ The rooftop of West Street. Many cafes or restaurants along the street have rooftops or window views facing Kaiyuan Temple, where you can overlook the bustling crowds and gaze at the twin pagodas. 4️⃣ The rooftop of Rezen Hotel. 5️⃣ Aerial view of Zhongshan Middle Road. I really like this arcade pedestrian street, with the clock tower in the distance. 6️⃣ Aerial view of Chaotianmen. The orange rooftops of old Quanzhou are truly beautiful! The above 6 places are all in the old city of Quanzhou, and you can explore them on foot or by riding a shared bike. - 7️⃣&8️⃣ Luojia Temple built on the sea. Before the typhoon arrived, the white waves crashed against the temple's embankment, creating a stunning aerial view! The location for photo 7 is on the rocks next to the Guanyin statue on the west side. Be sure to check the tide times in advance, as the rising tide may cause waves to hit the rocks. 9️⃣ Wulin Traditional Village. In addition to traditional Minnan architecture, Western-style buildings also make great photos. - What I like most about Quanzhou is that West Street and Zhongshan Road Arcade Street intersect at the clock tower. The two different styles converge here without any sense of incongruity, adding to the charm of the ancient city. Perhaps this is the unique charm of Quanzhou as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and a place where Eastern and Western cultures blend. -

🚗🚗🚗Travel Itinerary: Day1: Pullman Shishi MingSheng Hotel → Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village Day2: Orange Cafe B&B Art Gallery → Shishi Shili Golden Coast → Luoji Temple

Thankful for coming to Quanzhou Luoga Temple💗, it's hard to describe the shock of the Buddha country on the sea in a few words, especially when looking at it from the other shore, the temple and the sea blend together to appear more sacred, grandeur and solemnity coexist, making people naturally settle down, quietly embracing the sea breeze and the Sanskrit sounds, the trip is worthwhile. Quanzhou Luoga Temple, ticket🎫free 📍: Golden Coast, Shishi City, Quanzhou, Fujian 🚗: About 1h by taxi from Quanzhou city area (fare around 85r-100r), there is also a bus, but it takes about 2h-3h, actually renting a car in Quanzhou is more cost-effective, because each attraction is not too close, the fare is not much different from renting a car and it's more free~ (parking at the temple gate is 10r without time limit) I know many people come to check in the same style as their current boyfriend~ Remember to bring a telephoto lens for better photos, a drone is even better~ I also want to remind everyone that some shooting positions require standing on the beach rocks, the rocks are covered with moss and are particularly slippery, I saw people slipping, be sure to pay attention to safety! Check the weather early and do a good job of sun protection, the sea breeze is strong, the onion dressing method is appropriate, dark clothes are more photogenic~ That's all

The Seaside Temple, also known as the Loga Temple, is located on the Gongyu Island on the east coast of the Golden Coast in Shishi. It is a rare seaside temple built by the sea, allowing you to feel the grandeur of Buddhism and the momentum of the sea. The mountains are hidden in the city, and the temple is hidden in the sea. It is known as the Loga Temple in the Buddhist Kingdom of Heaven and Sea, which is very beautiful. Try to choose a sunny day to come here. The sea surrounds on all sides, and you enter from the bridge entrance. When you arrive, the tide has receded. If you can encounter it, it is extremely spectacular. The tranquility of the temple is different from the hustle and bustle of the city, which is very comfortable and pleasant. In the summer at three or four o'clock, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Loga Temple while strolling by the sea. At sunset, there is another beautiful scene. If you like to take pictures, you can come here.

In Quanzhou, known as "half city of fireworks, half city of immortals", half is temples and half is daily life. Quanzhou has never lacked temples ⛩️, but this sea temple is so special~ . It is located on the Gold Coast, facing the Taiwan Strait, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the waves keep hitting the reefs 🌊. Only one stone bridge connects this side of the earth, and from the sky, it looks like a floating paradise in the sea~ . The temple is entirely yellow, and at sunset 🌇, the sunlight shines on the temple. From afar, it looks like a golden palace~ Can't help but say, Quanzhou people are really good at building temples! . Walking in every corner of the temple, you can feel surrounded by the ocean. On one side is the sea, on the other side is the Pure Land of Buddha 🙏🏻. Who would have thought that temples and the sea could be combined so charmingly! . 🏯Luogas Temple Suggestion to drive 🚗, it takes 1.5 hours from Xiamen. Admission is free, and there is a parking lot at the entrance. Next to it is a beach 🏖️, and there are quite a few locals playing here~ . 📷It is not recommended for everyone to stand on the platform to take photos. It is very dangerous to fall onto the rocks and the sea if you lose your balance.❌ The wind is a bit strong, it's better to come on a sunny day ☀️.

I took the high-speed train and got off at Quanzhou South Station. I booked a hotel in Shishi City while on the train, which was only 3 kilometers away from the station, a 10-minute taxi ride. I'm so grateful for today's advanced network technology. In the morning, I visited the Wulin Traditional Residential Houses near Quanzhou South Station. It was quite a pleasant experience; you can check out my other post for details. In the afternoon, I went to Luojia Temple and hired a photographer who did an amazing job. The photos turned out great! Luojia Temple is also located by the sea in Shishi, about a half-hour drive from Quanzhou South Station. After visiting the temple, I returned to Quanzhou's city center and stayed at a hotel on West Street for the night, where I strolled around, enjoyed some food, and relished the freedom and ease of traveling solo. I spent my time on West Street eating and exploring. I hired another photographer for a photoshoot, who was also very nice and took some fantastic photos. I visited all the popular spots and took the high-speed train back home in the afternoon. My itinerary was packed, but I didn't have to coordinate with anyone. Taxis are readily available in Quanzhou, making it super convenient to get around. It was such a liberating and fulfilling trip to Quanzhou. I absolutely love this city!

Inspired by a song, I set foot on the land of Quanzhou, and Luojia Temple is the most moving stop on this journey. As I stepped into this sacred place, I understood why it stands out among the many attractions. The ancient temple buildings, weathered by time, exude a sense of solemnity and mystery. The red walls and black tiles, against the backdrop of the blue sky and the sea, unfold like a magnificent scroll. Every corner and upturned eaves seem to tell an ancient story. Strolling through the temple, the sea breeze gently caresses my skin, carrying a hint of saltiness, the unique greeting of the sea. In the distance, waves crash against the rocks, playing a natural symphony, intertwined with the occasional sound of bells from the temple, creating a strange and harmonious atmosphere. Standing on the rocks in front of the temple, I gaze into the distance, the boundless sea is vast and magnificent, making me instantly forget the troubles of the world. I sit quietly on the stone steps, the sun shines on me, warm and comfortable.

"I still remember the time we spent together walking through every street in Quanzhou..." When the melody of "Quanzhou" by Cao An sounded in my ears, Quanzhou, this ancient and charming city, planted a seed of yearning in my heart. Finally, I packed my bags and headed to this "Office of the Gods", starting a journey of in-depth dialogue with Quanzhou. Strolling through the streets and alleys of Quanzhou, every stone slab tells a thousand-year-old story. I abandoned the hasty clocking in like a special forces soldier, and instead put on headphones, letting the melodious tunes interweave with the ancient charm of Quanzhou, and immersing myself in the city’s profound historical heritage. 【West Street】: A picture of fireworks in West Street [West Street] is undoubtedly the most representative old street in Quanzhou. Stepping into West Street is like stepping into a time tunnel. The quaint arcade buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and the swallowtail ridges in the southern Fujian style shine with an ancient light in the sun. The shops along the street are full of goods, and the aroma of rice dumplings and spring rolls wafts in the air. Here, I slow down and savor every detail. Just like what is sung in the song "Quanzhou", it seems as if one can see the busy figures of people in the past walking around on this street. Walk into a traditional teahouse, order a cup of fragrant tea, and listen to the elderly people at the next table chatting in the Minnan dialect. The strong atmosphere of life will make you intoxicated. 【Tumen Street】: A fusion of diverse cultures Tumen Street [Tumen Street] is home to many religious buildings, exuding a unique multicultural charm. When I stepped onto this street, the lyrics of "Are there still people coming and going on Tumen Street?" rang in my mind. As expected, the streets were bustling with traffic. The magnificent Qingjing Mosque has a typical Arabic architectural style, and the exquisite stone carvings tell of the prosperity and exchanges of the past. The Guandi Temple at the corner is bustling with incense and believers pray devoutly. As I strolled through the place, I felt the harmonious coexistence of different religious cultures, and every step I took was based on the fusion of history and reality. Seaside: Romantic Luojia Temple where you can meet the first ray of sunshine Hongta Bay Coast Park Xiangzhi Xiangnong Wharf "Holding hands and watching the first ray of sunshine on the coast", when the first ray of sunshine shines on the sea, the sparkling sea water is dyed golden, which is beautiful like a dream. The sea breeze gently caresses your cheeks, bringing the unique scent of the sea. In the distance, several fishing boats slowly sailed into the distance, outlining a beautiful seaside picture. At this moment, I seemed to be hugging the soul of this city. Traveling in Quanzhou is a baptism of the soul. Every landscape in this city perfectly matches the melody of the song "Quanzhou". If you also yearn for a unique trip, you might as well follow the footsteps of this song and come to Quanzhou to experience its unique charm. I believe you will also fall deeply in love with this city full of stories.

I've long admired Quanzhou, or more precisely, Luojia Temple. Before it became popular, I saw pictures of the red-brick temple with green tiles standing on the waves. The temple's tranquility and independence, even in the face of the roaring waves, captivated me at first sight. Perhaps the heavens couldn't bear to let a devoted person be too disappointed. After a night of wind and rain, the next morning brought a bit of sunshine. Early morning is low tide, so the scene I wanted of waves crashing against the shore and the sunset painting Luojia Temple red was not to be this time. After the tide receded, Luojia Temple appeared rugged and ordinary, but the strange clouds in the sky offered a bit of compensation. Buddhist kingdom on the sea, may we meet again!
