Jingqing Temple in Quanzhou has a history of thousands of years and is the earliest existing Islamic building in China.

It is worth mentioning that the new chapel, which was fully donated by the Sultan of Oman in 2008, is located next to it and is a place of worship for many Muslims in Quanzhou. 2. Jiuri Mountain Jiuri Mountain Scenic Area, located in Fengzhou Town, Nan'an, is the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, which is famous at home and abroad. It has the reputation of "no stone in the mountain without inscriptions". According to legend, people who moved south from the Jin Dynasty climbed here on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year, so they called it this place. In addition, there was a person who walked from Daiyun, Dehua for nine days, so it got its name. Since ancient times, scholar-bureaucrats have chanted here, and it flourished in the Tang Dynasty. There are 77 existing stone carvings, among which the most valuable 13 "Qifeng Stone Carvings" record a large number of historical facts of ancient China's maritime transportation and trade, and are national key cultural relics protection units. For more than 1,700 years, it has been awarded the title of a national-level scenic spot for its charming scenery of "rippling blue waves, verdant peaks, and bright and beautiful scenery".
