Tour Highlights

Pray at the Meizhou mazu temple

On Meizhou Island you visit the Mazu Ancestral Temple, learn how a Fujian fisherwoman became the sea goddess, and see pilgrims from across the strait.

Explore Guanghua Temple and South Shaolin

In Putian you climb to Guanghua Temple in Lingshi Mountain and hear the link between local Buddhism, martial arts and temple fairs held each season.

Take a Meizhou island day tour

You ferry out for a full meizhou island day tour of sandy beaches, sea cliffs and fishing hamlets set well away from the busy mainland crowds.

Taste Putian coastal cuisine

Meals lean on Putian braised noodles, oysters and shellfish landed in the bay, so the fujian mazu heritage tour also covers the regional flavour.

This putian meizhou island tour centres on a fujian mazu heritage arc that begins at Guanghua Temple and South Shaolin in Putian, then crosses by ferry on a Meizhou island day tour to the main mazu temple complex facing the sea. Between shrines you walk fishing villages, taste Putian noodles and seafood, and take in the beaches and headlands that frame the bay, so each day of this putian 3 day tour pairs one mazu temple stop with coastal scenery.
