Overview

Spend a full day with a fully-licensed guide to visit the top famed historical highlights in Quanzhou which was once an international port city on the maritime Silk Route. Marco Polo regarded the location as “one of the ports of the world with the biggest flow of merchandise”. As the starting point of the Sea Silk Road, it accepted diverse religions including Christianity, Islam and Manichaeism, and today Quanzhou is called 'World Religions Museum'. Visit Kaiyuan Temple, one of China's largest and most important Buddhist temple, and the nearby Qingjing Mosque, the oldest Mosque in China and rated as one of the top ten Muslim holy sites of the world. Take a stroll around the nearby Guandi Temple dedicated to Guan Yu, and visit the Fuwen Temple built in Tang Dynasty as a memorial temple of Confucius, the greatest ideologist and the founder of Confucianism. Enjoy the flexibility of the custom-built private tour and explore the city at your desired way and pace.
