    Very good, very .... The mountain environment is very nice, suitable for relaxing and unwinding. It's just that the 70 yuan entrance fee is a bit expensive, and there's not much to do.

    The most cost-effective and fun free attraction, with a volunteer guide from a local retired teacher, made me like Quanzhou even more. Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple Twin Pagodas (the following content was generated by Xiaoyi): - East Pagoda (Zhenguo Pagoda) - Initial Construction: During the Xiantong era of the Tang Dynasty (860-874 AD), it was originally a five-story wooden pagoda. - Reconstruction: After several periods of prosperity and decline, it was damaged and rebuilt as a brick pagoda. - Completion: In the second year of the Jiaxi era of the Southern Song Dynasty (1238 AD), it was rebuilt as a stone pagoda. After twelve years of construction, it was officially completed in the tenth year of the Chunyou era (1250 AD). - West Pagoda (Renshou Pagoda) - Initial Construction: Built in the second year of the Zhenming era of the Later Liang Dynasty (916 AD), it was originally a seven-story wooden pagoda named "Wuliangshou Pagoda". - Reconstruction: Destroyed twice by fire, once in 1155 (the 25th year of the Shaoxing reign of the Southern Song Dynasty) and again during the Chunxi reign (1174-1189 AD). It was later rebuilt as a brick pagoda. - Completion: Rebuilt as a stone pagoda in 1228 (the first year of the Shaoding reign of the Southern Song Dynasty), and completed in 1237 (the first year of the Jiaxi reign), approximately thirteen years earlier than the completion of the East Pagoda. Although the East and West Pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple were initially built in the Tang and Five Dynasties periods, the main structure of the stone pagodas we see today was completed during the Southern Song Dynasty.

    This historically significant site is surprisingly free! Located beside Qingyuan Mountain, it boasts stunning scenery. The Grand Hall is well worth exploring in detail; you'll feel like you're stepping into a Jin Yong novel! The martial arts performance is also highly recommended—Chinese Kung Fu, Chinese culture, world-class!

    A great place for families, with three shows. The puppeteers performed with great care, and the children were engrossed. At the end, the puppeteers gave a teaching session, and the audience could try to control the puppets. The rooftop view at night is beautiful, and you can check it out.

    The environment was great, and the address was easy to find. I called ahead to book my session, then came to buy tickets and enter. Arriving early allowed me to secure a good spot, and I also gave the kids small souvenirs.

    The teahouse in Wudian City is a place where you can watch puppet shows. It is worth it. I watched wonderful puppet shows, including "Little Bald Head Goes Down the Mountain", "Daming Mansion", and "Wu Song Fights the Tiger". I learned puppetry skills and can also experience puppetry. The intangible cultural heritage is worth watching. The service is also very good and the water is added in a timely manner.

    Wudian Market is full of ancient houses and buildings. It's not crowded, and there are many shops. The location is quite reasonable. I was surprised to see a lot of surprises, especially the Starbucks in Liu Qing's house, which is very stylish and has a very comfortable patio.

    I think it's quite fun. Facing the ocean, the roller coaster ride is fantastic. It's perfect for older children. There's also a science exhibition hall with lots of specimens. It's very convenient for bringing kids; you don't have to walk around; you can rent electric buggies. Hahaha.

    This unique temple, built on a reef in the sea, is known as the "Buddhist Kingdom on the Sea." At high tide, it appears to float on the surface, creating a breathtaking sight. If you're staying a little further away or traveling with luggage, elderly people, or children, you can take a taxi directly to the entrance of Luojia Temple. During weekends, when traffic is restricted, get off at the Shili Golden Coast. From the main beach area of ​​Golden Coast (near the Guanyin statue/Talang Guanyin), it takes about 15-25 minutes to walk to the entrance of Luojia Temple, offering breathtaking views of the sea and reefs along the way.
