The temple is fairly big and very well maintained. Maybe too well maintained, to the point that it doesn't even seem to be an ancient temple. The photos displayed about the life in the monastery are very interesting though and also the road to get to the monastery is very beautiful to follow. I can't wait to get there with my motorbike!

We were taken to visit the temple while on a business trip. The drive up is beautiful, through the wooded mountain side. There are some amazing, large statues in the temple and some excellent pictures of the monks, learning martial arts etc. Some English translations would have been helpful. Peaceful location and sense that it is still a living temple. As always, loved the smells of incense and occasional sound of bells. It was interesting to note the difference in attitude to age. In the west, we value the patina of age but here everything, especially the statues are very new looking. You can make your own mind up which you prefer but be prepared. I have been to temples with a greater sense of age and spirituality but if you are in Putian, definitely worth the visit,
