Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: This is a great place to visit with children. we started at the entrance near the Shaolin temple and took a bus to the top of the mountain. It cost 70 yuan each but the kids were free. we hiked to Sky lake, bravery rock, qingyuan caves, Nantai village and viewing area, stupa master, yuanyuan cave, and finally Laozi. There are bathrooms and palaces to eat along the way but I reccomend bringing snacks and lots if water. The views are spectacular. If you can find a clear day to go you will take some magnificent photos. We probably walked aroubd 6km total. W ord of warning. If you start from the South gate near Laozi it is a very long hike up many steps to get to the top. If you are not in good shape you can take thr bus.

The present Qingjing Mosque is in ruins, but the outline of the towering Arabian gatehouse remains. The main existing buildings are the Gate Building, the Temple of Fengtian and the Mingshan Hall. It is the oldest existing Islamic temple built by Arab Muslims in China. The exterior of the gate building is in the traditional Arabic Islamic architectural style. On the west side of the temple gate is the Temple of Fengtian, also known as the Temple of Worship, where the original Muslims worshipped. The roof of the altar collapsed in the Ming Dynasty, and now only the surrounding stone walls remain. In the middle of the west wall is a tall niche in the shape of an arch, in which the verses of the Koran in ancient Arabic are engraved, which are well preserved. On both sides of the altar, there are 6 pointed arches and treasure cover-shaped stone niches, all of which are embossed with Arabic. "Mingshan Hall" is located in the north of the Temple of Fengtian, where the scriptures are now taught. "Mingshan Hall" has been repaired and collapsed repeatedly. The existing building was rebuilt in modern times. It is said that the well-carved lotus incense burner in Song Dynasty in front of the hall was originally in the "Fengtian Temple". Later, the "Fengtian Temple" could not shelter from the wind and rain, so the believers changed to "Mingshan Hall" to worship, and this incense burner was also moved to "Mingshan Hall". The Qingjing Temple is a historical witness of the friendly exchanges and cultural exchanges between my country and the people of Arab countries, and is also an important historical site of Quanzhou's overseas transportation.
