Popular places of worship
This island is very popular due to the Mazu Temple which is located on this island. Many people will come over here to pray especially during the Mazu festival. Beside the local Chinese, the Taiwanese will come here too by boat from Taiwan island and during this festival, the Taiwanese doesn’t require any visa to visit this island. Even the locals will need to show their ID card to purchase the ticket and so do the foreigner will need to show their passport which are the requirement to this island. Without the id for locals or the passport for foreigner, you will not able to buy any ticket. If it’s during winter season, pls remember to bring a wind coat as the wind is quite strong on the island. A must to visit place when in Putian.

Day trip
Went to the island for the celebration of the Goddess Matsu. It was rammed as it was also a public holiday. A massive amazing site. Fantastic temples and shrines. There's a lot steps and walking to cover the whole site. There are buses and electric carts to take you around but check the price before you ride. Great views from the island too.

Can't miss
It has been one of the most beautiful days I spent in Putian, China. I've been there with my girlfriend and her close relatives, and we spent there a full day among temples, caves, gardens and statues, all very well preserved. But also we relaxed on the beach and enjoyed watching fishermen come back on the land bringing various seafood. It is really one of the most vivid experience from China.
