Luojia Temple
Ladies! This sea Buddhist kingdom in Shishi is so beautiful it leaves you speechless 😭
Navigate directly to Binhai East Road, super convenient for self-driving! There is a parking lot at the entrance for 10 yuan all day. For taxis, you can set the destination to Golden Coast Tourist Center, and ride-sharing is even more cost-effective~ Public transport users be cautious, many transfers + long travel time ⚠️
Here’s the key point‼️ Luojia Temple is open all year round for free❗️You can enter anytime! But be sure to check the tide times 🌊 At high tide, the temple is surrounded by the sea on all sides, looking like it’s floating on the water! At low tide, you can walk on the beach and take photos of the reefs, super dreamy 📸
Photo spots to save👇
✅ “Feng Tiao” Gate! The same check-in spot as actor Li Xian, wearing a light-colored long dress will make you look divine
✅ Stone platform by the seaside in front of the main hall: capture panoramic views of the temple + sea, very atmospheric
✅ Stone reef under the Guanyin statue: an awe-inspiring upward shot! The granite Thousand-Hand Guanyin is dozens of meters tall
✅ Steps of the Sutra Library and eaves corners: casual shots look like movie scenes
Outfit suggestion: solid/light-colored long dress 👗 paired with a straw hat or shawl, full of Buddhist vibes! Remember to bring a jacket, it’s really super cold by the sea 💨 Don’t forget sunscreen!
Hidden tip 💡 After the tide recedes, walk 500 meters along the beach to the temple, the whole way is natural reef beach, perfect for moody photoshoots~ If you don’t want to walk, you can also get great shots from the second-floor platform on the right side of the tourist center!
No worries about food and drinks nearby~ The seafood stalls are incredibly fresh 🦐 There are also authentic local snacks at small stalls by the entrance! After a day of fun, stay overnight—recommend a sea view guesthouse, the temple in the early morning is so healing ✨
Avoid these pitfalls ⚠️
❌ Don’t drive too late! The parking lot is cheap but lighting at night is poor
❌ Don’t wear high heels! Stone steps + reef paths are tough on your feet
❌ Don’t touch the Buddha statues or make loud noises, respect religious customs 🙏
Just go for it! This trip is totally worth it 💫
