真武庙

Why it belongs to the World Heritage story

It places religious protection directly inside the geography of docks, river movement and ocean trade.

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 religion or port-landscape route beyond the downtown core.

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.
