Snap' Description
Experience profound spiritual serenity at South Putuo Temple (Nanputuo), Xiamen's most revered Tang Dynasty Buddhist monastery. Backed by the dramatic five-peak silhouette of Wulao Peak and facing the sea, this expansive temple complex features grand hall roofs with classic southern Minnan porcelain tilework, tranquil lotus ponds, and ancient rock carvings. After offering incense in the Hall of Heavenly Kings, hike the stone staircase trails leading up behind the temple grounds to Wulao Peak summit for sweeping views over Xiamen University and the ocean skyline.
