Wanshou Pagoda

A coastal landmark tied to sea routes and the visibility of the port.

Why it belongs to the World Heritage story

The pagoda reminds visitors that heritage can be a line of sight and a tool for movement, not only an enclosed monument.

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

Add to a route centred on the coastal geography of trade.

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.
