Luojia Temple is located in Shishi City. The Minnan Golden Coast here has a vast and charming sea area. It leans against Baogai Mountain in the northwest and faces the Taiwan Strait in the southeast. Amidst the mountains and the sea, it covers an area of more than twenty mu. The rare one-island-one-temple architecture of Luojia Temple has attracted countless tourists. Walking here in the rising and ebbing tides of the sea, one can feel the grandeur of Buddhism and the inclusive momentum.


When the tide rises, Luojia Temple looks like it is floating on the sea, so it is known as the “Buddha Country on Peng Island”. Quanzhou has a long coastline and there are not a few seaside Buddhist temples. However, Luojia Temple is the only one standing on Fuyu Island. The three characters of “Luojia Temple” were inscribed by Zhao Puchu, the president of the Buddhist Association of China. Inside the temple, there are the “Tianwang Hall”, the “Yuantong Baodian”, the “Nianfo Hall”, the “Scripture Depository”, the “Bell and Drum Tower” and the “Wuguan Hall”, etc.


The whole temple is majestic, with carved beams and painted rafters, and resplendent. Against the background of the sea and sky, it has a broad artistic conception. The pavilions, terraces and towers are fantastically intertwined with the vast expanse of misty waves and the distant sails, forming a wonderful landscape painting. It extends the auspicious vein of Baogai Mountain to the east and embraces the auspicious air of Zimao Mountain to the west.


Endowed with the spirituality of the sea and sky and the beauty of the excellent location, Luojia Temple is rich in essence and uniquely blessed. It is inclusive and magnanimous. In your spare time, you may as well come to Luojia Temple for a short rest away from the worldly troubles.
