🌊 Luojia Temple + Shishi Gold Coast:
.
✅ Luojia Temple🌊:
The temple built on the reef in the sea is like a floating heavenly palace at high tide. ⚠️ Check the tide time (see "tide table" in the subtitle). When the tide is high, the nearby reefs will be submerged and some camera positions will not be able to shoot. Drone aerial photography is more effective.
.
✅ Shishi Golden Coast:
It is connected to Luojia Temple. Apart from the temple, walk about 500 meters along the coast to the Guanyin statue, where you can take panoramic photos of the temple. If you have enough time, you can visit Yongning Ancient Town (10 minutes’ drive from Gold Coast) to see the Ming Dynasty’s anti-Japanese Acropolis and Fanzilou.
