There are many temples in Xiamen. Besides Nanputuo Temple, what other temples are there on Siming South Road in Siming District?

Xiamen Island is divided into Huli District and Siming District. There is a Siming South Road in Siming District, which is a street with historical charm in the old city. There are many traces of old Xiamen on both sides of the street. Today I will introduce five temples on this road.

Take an inventory of five temples on Siming South Road 1 and Nanputuo Temple.

A temple bears witness to the development of a city. In China, there is a strong Buddhist culture. Although most young people nowadays advocate science and don't believe in Buddhism, most of us like to visit various temples. A temple has witnessed the development of a city and is also a true portrayal of the city's development history.
