_We***80Meizhou Island in Putian is a sacred site for Mazu, and everything there is dedicated to her. I was fortunate enough to catch a Mazu event, which was very lively and truly awe-inspiring. Being from Northeast China, I feel that for this kind of traditional culture and faith, one must look to the South, and specifically to Fujian culture. It's like a city, surrounded by beaches with residential areas in the center. The two of us rented electric scooters and rode around for half a day, enjoying the scenery. It was truly beautiful, and the pace of life here is very slow. It's a perfect place for a vacation and sightseeing.
