Quanzhou hides a thousand-year-old ancient temple! Even more serene than Kaiyuan Temple

Tianchan Temple|This thousand-year-old ancient temple hidden in the bustling life of Quanzhou is so healing✨ Compared to the tourist-packed Kaiyuan Temple🤫 I prefer the tranquility here~ Daytime sunlight filters through ancient trees, casting dancing shadows🌿 At night, the stone lions and red lanterns exude a strong ancient charm🏮 📍Address straight up: No. 36 Nanjun Road, Licheng District, Quanzhou City ⏰ Opening hours: 08:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:00) 📸 Highly recommended photo spots: ✔️The stone lion guardians in front of the temple gate are full of stories! ✔️The red lanterns in the long corridor create an explosive nighttime atmosphere ✔️The mottled light and shadow under the ancient trees are perfect for Zen-style portraits 💡Little tips: Wearing plain-colored clothes makes photos stand out more~ The sunlight from 3 to 4 pm is gentle and not glaring You can get free incense at the entrance Definitely a perfect place to escape the city's hustle and bustle Half Zen heart, half urban warmth Sitting in a thousand-year-old temple daydreaming is also very blissful💫
