This is just a great piece of history. Wow a Manichean temple in China. Just reminds you how far people had traveled in early years. And its a pretty nice temple visually too.

This is the world's only remaining intact Manichaean temple. This survived the demise of the religion by being absorbed into the Buddhist tradition. Today it's a Buddhist-Manichaean hybrid but architecturally quite different from 'just another Chinese Buddhist temple' (which is possible to become cloying to travelers visiting one after another for many days). The easiest way to get here (and that goes for Chinese speakers also) is to confirm exactly the name of this place in Chinese. Coordinate between the hotel and taxi driver. Many visiting Quanzhou will actually stay in a Jinjiang hotel, which makes access to this area easier. Comparing this to the major attractions in Quanzhou, it's nearly a must-see if it weren't a bit isolated from everything else. There's no entry fee, and it's small and compact to allow a quick visit.
