天后宫
Why it belongs to the World Heritage story
It connects Quanzhou to a wider coastal world in which Mazu worship traveled with seafarers and migrants.
Quanzhou's inscription is a serial property. The meaning of this site becomes clearer when it is connected to production, transport, administration, urban life or belief elsewhere in the city and region.
Planning a visit
A strong first-day stop; observe worship and photography etiquette.
Confirm current opening access, transport and any ticket or reservation requirement shortly before travel. Chinese place names are worth saving for maps and taxi journeys.
