There is a lot to see in this small mountain nest. Wanfu Temple, hidden in Huangbo Mountain, Fuqing City, was built in the fifth year of Tang Zhenyuan (AD 789). In the 42nd year of Ming Wanli (1614), the emperor bestowed the plaque of "Wanfu Zen Temple". Wanfu Temple has been built to this day, and has undergone many repairs and reconstructions.

From the hustle and bustle of busy Qianmen in Beijing to the tranquil Wanfu Temple in Fujian province. A spring holiday visit to China is one not to be missed. This trip flying with Hainan Airline from UK to FOC, I chose to have a spontaneous 10hour layover in Beijing. From research online, many people talked about booking tickets for Forbidden City or a guided tour around the Great Wall. However, I decided to go for a wonder around Qianmen. What people don't comment on is how tired you will be after a 10hr flight, for me less is more. If I booked the Great Wall tour, yes I would enjoy it but I would have been far too tired. So a wonder through the old HuTongs in Beijing was the perfect way to explore, taking my own time and wonder into Tea Houses. There was something special about enjoying a cup of Ice Latte in an old traditional Beijing building overlooking the busy tourists running up and down Qianmen. With China's new tourist visa policy, 100% recommend spring break in China. Weather 20-25 degrees, light and breezy. 📍Address: Qianmen, Beijing, China 📍Address: Putian Ancient Town, Putian, China 📍Address: Wanfu Temple, Yuxi, Fujian Province, China #travel #myitinerary #layover #beijing #putian #temple #aprilblooms

Since the Tang Dynasty, this ancient temple of a thousand years has experienced the passage of time through its rise and fall. Now, the temple has been rebuilt with a generous donation from Mr. Cao Dewang, still following the traditional design, with the solemn and simple rosewood, and a strong sense of Zen. Master Yinyuan, a monk from this temple, traveled to Japan during the Ming Dynasty to spread Buddhism, which greatly influenced the temple construction style of the Edo period in Japan. The Wanfu Temple built in Kyoto, Japan, is modeled after the overall style of the Wanfu Temple in Fuqing at that time. Arriving at the temple in the afternoon, I happened to encounter a Buddhist ceremony, and the whole mountain forest was immersed in the devout atmosphere of the Buddhist scriptures 'reaching all heavens with every sound'. The morning bell and evening drum, the twilight lingers around the beams The most beautiful temple - Fuqing Huangbo Temple Fuqing Huangbo (bò) Temple, a place of triple blessings, enjoyment of myriad blessings, blessings from all directions, blessings come and go.
