Architectural awe reigns at Quanzhou's largest Buddhist temple and top tourist attraction. Located 45 scenic minutes up the coast from Xiamen, this ancient worship center dates back to 686 AD. The East and West Pagodas prominently flank the temple's courtyard and feature a convention of sculpted Buddhist figures. In an odd departure from the temple's religious standing a small museum exhibit behind the East Pagoda details Quanzhou's maritime history during the Song and Yuan dynasties.
