Jinjiang Wudianshi Traditional Blocks
Jinjiang Wudianshi Traditional Blocks has a thousand-year history and is the origin of Jinjiang City. The red brick buildings with southern Fujian characteristics span the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods. Wudian City has produced 11 champions in history. During the Wanli period, Zhuang Jichang was the champion in the same subject as Yuan Chonghuan. The champion Wang Zeng, a descendant of the King of Fujian who lived in Quanzhou, won three first prizes in a row (first place in the first, provincial and palace examinations). It has also produced more than 1,400 Jinshi scholars, making it an outstanding representative of the humanities, history, art, architecture and customs of southern Fujian. As the treasure of southern Fujian art, puppetry has not only become an indispensable part of the folk customs of Quanzhou and the entire southern Fujian region for thousands of years, but also has become a popular opera art that is appreciated by the general public and even scholars and literati with its unique skills and wonderful performances. The traditional cultural block of Wudianshi, located between many high-rise buildings, forms a sharp contrast with modern urban civilization, just like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes but is becoming more vigorous, insightful of the changes in history. Walking into Wudian Street, stepping on the ancient stone road, under the sunshine, passing through the alleys and wind, touching the bricks and stones baptized by the years, chewing marshmallows in the mouth, holding the food I loved when I was a child, I returned to the carefree childhood. Every house here has its own story, and each one tells the unique southern Fujian architecture. The large and small buildings in the block are like a thick book of Jinjiang historical architectural art, from the tall Lu Sili Art Museum and Su Xianzhong Art Museum to the Western-style buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles, the "Imperial Palace" red brick buildings with southern Fujian characteristics, and the contemporary literary and artistic freshness of Wumen Gate, you can see that there is no barrier between literature and art here, they complement each other, and the inclusiveness of this kind of architecture makes Wudianshi more diversified and attracts more and more people to come.Jinjiang · 4.8 km from downtown
South Shaolin Temple
First built during the Longshuo era and abandoned in the Tianyou era. According to Cai Yongjian's "Xishan magazine" from the Qing Dynasty, which cited the Tang Dynasty's "Minzhong records," before the first year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty (661 AD), "Zhikong entered Minzhong and built the Shaolin Temple at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain, consisting of thirteen courtyards." "The Shaolin Temple had thirteen sections, surrounded by walls three zhang high, with vast fields and lush forests." "Beside the celestial altar stood the Shaolin Temple, where Zen master Zhikong met with Governor Wang at the celestial altar." Zhikong (styled Daoguang) was one of the thirteen staff-wielding monks from the Songshan Shaolin Temple renowned for saving the Tang emperor. His arrival in Min marked the beginning of martial monks in Fujian, and he trained twelve disciples—some capable of capturing tigers or lifting massive cauldrons, others skilled in wielding heavy crossbows, mastering chain hammers, or moving with extraordinary speed... The "Minzhong records" also states: In the first year of the Tang Tianyou era (907), "the Shaolin Temple rebelled against Wang Shenzhi's allegiance to the Liang Dynasty and was destroyed." Shi Mengshuo of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in his "Donglu poetry collection": "The Shaolin Temple was built in Qingyuan, with ten grand gates and towering walls; a hundred acres of fields across three ridges, where a thousand monks practiced martial arts to rebel against the Wang regime." The "Wang regime" refers to the Min King Wang Shenzhi. Wang Shenzhi's destruction of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou marks its first destruction. Prospered during the Taiping Xingguo era and declined during the Zhiyuan era The "Xishan magazine" records that in the sixth year of the Taiping Xingguo era of the Northern Song Dynasty (981 AD), an imperial decree was issued to rebuild the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. This marked the second revival of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. Liu Changyan of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote in his poem: "The legacy of Qingyuan was built during the Xingguo era, the Shaolin spirit pervades throughout southern Quanzhou." "Xingguo" refers to the reign era of Emperor Taizong of Song, Taiping Xingguo (976–983). A copy of the Zhang family genealogy preserved in Donghu village, Dongqiao town, Hui'an county, states: "Shizhi, styled Fayi, renowned for stone carving, his craftsmanship was unparalleled, such as the stone lions in front of the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou..." Zhang Shizhi was the younger brother of Zhang Shixun, a figure from the Song Dynasty, indicating his involvement in carving the stone lions at the entrance of the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou during the Song Dynasty. Northern Song Dynasty records document that the South Shaolin Temple originally comprised a mountain gate, Mahavira Hall, dharma hall, Bodhidharma ancestral hall, thirteen halls, arhat hall, xuannü hall, scripture repository, heavenly king hall, Guanyin hall, Ksitigarbha hall and other supporting facilities, covering 400 mu of land. During the 2002 reconstruction of the heavenly king hall, over 40 stone temple components were excavated underground, including 1 pagoda base, 1 pagoda cover, 7 finials resembling those of Yinggeng Pagoda at Chengtian Temple, 4 stone caps, 4 column bases, 6 stone pillars, and notably 20 intact mortise stones measuring 1 m in diameter - all testifying to the temple's grand architectural scale. Numerous roof tiles and covers were also unearthed. Experts speculate these components likely belonged to the Quanzhou South Shaolin Temple's structures during the Tang and Song dynasties. During the peak periods of the Tang and Song dynasties, the temple housed thousands of martial monks. The "Xishan magazine · general records" also records: "In the first year of the Song Jingyan era (Yuan Dynasty's Zhiyuan 13th year, 1276), a thousand monks from the Qingyuan Shaolin Temple rebelled against Pu Shougeng's surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. The abbot of the Shaolin Temple, Yuan Miao... commonly known as Zhao Mengliang... (Yuan troops) pursued them to the Shaolin Temple... The vanguard, Qi Wotunsi, known for his cruelty, ordered an assault on the Shaolin Temple, provoking the fury of the thousand monks. Amidst the clash of swords, each monk fought like ten, leaving Yuan soldiers' corpses strewn across the east of Qingyuan city, with bones littering the fields. When Suodu arrived, he ordered arrows to be shot, killing most of the thousand monks, with only a hundred surviving... The survivors fled to Dehua (Daiyun Temple)." This marks the second destruction of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. In the mid-Ming dynasty, Li Sen (born in 1398), a wealthy philanthropist from Anxi, funded the purchase of large tracts of wasteland on Dongyue Mountain to establish charitable burial grounds for the free interment of remains by Quanzhou residents. These burial sites appear to have been the same wastelands where the Shaolin Temple was destroyed after its thousand monks resisted the Yuan dynasty in the late Southern Song period. Prospered during the Hongwu era and declined during the Qianlong era The "Xishan magazine" records: In the tenth year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1377 AD), Faben of the Xuanmiao Temple (a Shaolin monk who fled to Dehua after the resistance of a thousand monks against the Yuan Dynasty in the late Song period, aged 135) persuaded the local official Huang Zhongli to "petition the court for imperial approval to rebuild the Shaolin Temple." The monks then spread martial arts throughout southern Quanzhou. This marked the third revival of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. The Annals of Jinjiang County, Volume 69, from the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty records: "The South Shaolin Temple is located by the East Lake outside Renfeng... It was rebuilt in the 10th year of the Xuande era (1435) during the Ming Dynasty, but later fell into disrepair. Monks restored one-tenth of its original site and also enshrined County Magistrate Peng Guoguang, as Peng had helped monks reclaim temple lands." In the book "Records of Shaolin warrior monks" by master Deqian of the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song (published by Beijing Sports University Press, 1988), it is stated: "According to the 'Internal Chronicles of Shaolin Temple,' monk Yuanran possessed extraordinary martial arts skills and was commended by Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (reigned 1522-1566). His eminent disciple, master Yuekong, was ordered to lead over 30 warrior monks who had proven their skills to Quanzhou, Fujian, to suppress Japanese pirates and establish merits. There, they built the South Shaolin Temple, where he became the abbot." This confirms that the "Internal Chronicles of Shaolin Temple" from the northern Shaolin Temple clearly records the existence of a South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou during the Ming Dynasty, while the claim of it being newly built is a misconception. To this day, southern Fujian still circulates stories of northern Shaolin warrior monks suppressing Japanese pirates. During the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong toured southern China and feared that the warrior monks of the South Shaolin Temple might collude with the remnants of Zheng Chenggong (see "Quanzhou biographical records: Zheng Chenggong"). "In the fall of the 28th year of Qianlong's reign (1763), an imperial decree ordered the burning of the Shaolin Temple... From then on, no one dared to rebuild it." Some temple monks took refuge at Yipian Temple in Nan'an. This marks the third destruction of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. After the burning of Shaolin Temple, the monk Zhishan sought refuge among the people, continuing to recruit Shaolin disciples to oppose the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming. Zhishan, Hong Xiguan, and their disciples spread to Guangdong, further developing Southern Shaolin boxing, which produced the Southern Shaolin boxing champion Wong Fei-hung. Later, Wong Fei-hung's disciples brought the art to Hong Kong and spread it as far as the United States.Quanzhou · 16.5 km from Jinjiang

Xunpu Village
Xunpu village is a thousand-year-old fishing village located in Quanzhou, Fujian, at the mouth of the Jinjiang River. Backed by the Partridge Mountain and surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is famous for its "flower hairpin adornments" and "oyster shell houses." Not only was it an important starting point of the maritime Silk Road, but it has now also become a popular cultural tourism destination. The flower-adorned bun: The "flower-adorned bun" headdress is particularly famous in the Xunpu women's custom. Women coil their hair into a round bun and decorate it with fresh flowers all around, earning it the nickname "a garden on the head." The Xunpu flower-adorned bun tradition originated during the Song and Yuan dynasties, became popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and continues to this day. Oyster shell houses: Xunpu Village has developed a unique local architectural landscape, with its most distinctive buildings being the oyster shell houses. These structures, dating back to the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, are constructed primarily from oysters. The oyster shell walls not only feature natural ventilation pores but also possess excellent heat absorption properties, keeping interiors warm in winter and cool in summer. Local villagers observed that oyster shell walls are sturdy, resistant to corrosion, and don't retain rainwater, making them more suitable than red bricks as building materials in the coastal climate. This construction method helps withstand the humid seaside environment and extends the houses' lifespan. The main materials used in Xunpu Village's oyster shell houses are oyster shells, red bricks, stone slabs, wood, and tiles. Over time, these structures have evolved - typically featuring red bricks and stone slabs around the base, with white oyster shells embedded in the remaining walls. Some houses incorporate square red brick windows, while others use double-hooked stone slabs or irregular stones from the foundation up to window level, combined with red brick frames and oyster shell decorations, creating a striking red-and-white decorative effect.Quanzhou · 13.4 km from Jinjiang

When you arrive in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, you can go to Wudianshi. Wudianshi is the birthplace of Jinjiang City. There are more than 100 historical and cultural buildings in southern Fujian. The buildings have distinctive characteristics and are an important carrier for understanding the history and culture of Jinjiang. Walking in the alleys of Wudianshi is like walking into a large maze, but there is no rush to find the exit. Walking in it is like talking with time and space, which is very pleasant. There are also many unique coffee shops and restaurants in the block. You can sit down and rest when you are tired of shopping.

It was quite a show. Even though the performance conflicted with my schedule, I still made time to see it. Chinese martial arts, starting from a young age, has a long history and is very meaningful. Quanzhou is truly a wonderful place, blessed with beautiful scenery and talented people. Due to time constraints, I didn't have a chance to properly see the other sights of Shaolin Temple. I'll definitely visit again next time.

Quanzhou Ancient City.
Quanzhou is a place with a profound cultural heritage, reaching its peak during the Song and Yuan dynasties. It was the "largest port in the East" and the starting point of the "Maritime Silk Road." Designated one of the first batch of National Historical and Cultural Cities in 1982, and in 2021, "Quanzhou: A World Maritime Trade Center of Song and Yuan China" was inscribed on the World Heritage List, with eight World Heritage sites within the ancient city. The core urban area covers approximately 6.41 square kilometers, and the city's outline resembles a carp.
The most central areas of the ancient city include: West Street (a thousand-year-old street), Kaiyuan Temple + East and West Pagodas, the Bell Tower, the arcade buildings along Zhongshan Road, Qingjing Mosque, the Confucian Temple, and the Tonghuai Guanyue Temple. Religious diversity coexists here, earning it the title of "World Religious Museum."
Here, you can find traditional Minnan red-brick houses, Western-style buildings, and arcade buildings coexisting; intangible cultural heritage such as Nanyin music, Liyuan opera, and puppet shows are vibrant; Minnan delicacies such as tusu jelly, rice noodle soup, and runbing are abundant; the night view is dazzling, making it an excellent place for a walking tour.
Don't bother eating at the food stalls on the pedestrian street; most of them are popular tourist spots, the taste is average, and they don't really represent the quality of Quanzhou snacks.

If you're visiting Quanzhou, be sure to check out this village. Children can wear traditional floral-adorned clothing, which is very unique. There are many shops offering photo opportunities; I recommend trying them out. The village isn't large, making it perfect for taking pictures.

As invited teachers, several of my colleagues and I accompanied parents and children to the puppet theater on the third floor of Kaiyuan Shengshi, witnessing firsthand the vibrant power of traditional craftsmanship during this one-hour performance. Four plays were presented in quick succession: "Little Bald Head Goes Down the Mountain" conveyed the message of diligence and growth through a story from an old Quanzhou street; "Daming Mansion" showcased loyalty and responsibility through acrobatic combat; "Fighting the Tiger" gripped the audience with its portrayal of Wu Song's bravery; and the grand finale, "Monkey Play Training the Monkey," with its ingenious "turning fruit into gold" and play-within-a-play concept, drew gasps of amazement from the teachers and students. The puppets, guided by silken strings, moved with lifelike agility, displaying remarkable skill as they twirled in the hands of the children. The children watched intently, their eyes glued to the screen, applause and laughter filling the theater.
The essence of this study tour lay in bringing intangible cultural heritage from the books into reality. The children not only witnessed exquisite performances but also had the opportunity to personally manipulate the strings and hold the puppets in their hands during the post-performance experience, truly feeling the focus and perseverance behind "one minute on stage." Quanzhou string puppets and hand puppets are both listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. These are not forgotten relics, but rather a testament to the life passed down through generations of artisans. When children see the puppet monkey mimicking an artist controlling a clown, the intricate layers of craftsmanship allow them to intuitively understand the difficulty and joy of this heritage. This one-hour experience is not just a captivating performance, but a genuine dialogue with a thousand-year-old craft—approaching tradition with laughter and planting seeds of identification through hands-on experience. This is the most basic yet profound value of study tours.

Definitely worth a visit! The air is fresh, and there are many sights to see. Unfortunately, my schedule was limited that day, so I only took the bus to the mountaintop and visited part of the core scenic area. I didn't get to see the Hongyi Master Relic Pagoda, as half a day wasn't enough. I also missed the recommended evening dinner and panoramic view from Qingyuan Mountain. We'll see what happens next. There are walking trails and scheduled buses within the scenic area; you can choose your route based on your physical condition and schedule. During the National Day holiday, round-trip tickets for the buses are not available; a one-way ticket costs 15 yuan, and buses depart approximately every 20 minutes. Apparently, there's a bus back to the city from the visitor center at the foot of the mountain for only 1 yuan. The staff and holiday volunteers within the scenic area were very helpful, patiently providing guidance and answering questions.

The guide was excellent and very dedicated. I was captivated for over two hours. Although the venue wasn't very large, the entire tour provided a comprehensive understanding of Quanzhou's maritime history and its various religious cultures. After the tour, the guide also led us to the adjacent religious stele museum, where we witnessed the harmonious coexistence of multiple religions. I learned a lot; Quanzhou truly deserves its title as a "religious museum."
