On a rainy day we visited the Kaiyuan Temple 開元寺; Kaiyuan Si; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Khai-gôan-sī), also known as the Ziyun Hall 紫雲堂; Zǐyún táng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chí-hûn-tông), is a Buddhist temple on West Street, Quanzhou, China, the largest in Fujian province.
Although it is known as a Hindu-Buddhist temple, on account of added Tamil-Hindu influences, the main statue in the most important hall is that of Vairocana Buddha, the main Buddha according to Huayen-buddhism. What is now called the Mahavira Hall (Mahavira - the Great and Strong) is in fact the Vairocana Hall.
It was originally built in 685 or 686 during the Tang Dynasty. Behind its main hall Mahavira Hall”, there are some columns with fragments from a Shiva temple built in 1283 by the Tamil community in Quanzhou dedicated to Hindu God Shiva.
The carvings are dispersed across five primary sites in Quanzhou and the neighboring areas. They were made in the South Indian style, and share close similarities with 13th-century temples constructed in the Chola Nadu region in Tamil Nadu. Nearly all of the carvings were carved with greenish-gray granite, which was widely available in the nearby hills and used in the region's local architecture.
In 1983, the Kaiyuan Temple was designated as a national temple.

Shantou Trip (Travel Vlog)
Hello Youtube! This is my Shantou Vlog. I went to visit my relatives there for the first time, it was amazing to see back my roots. I am from Singapore, back then my grandparents travelled by a small boat to Singapore to earn for a living. It was not easy, after all their blood, sweat and tears, here I am, living in Singapore healthily. So, if you are from America or Australia or any other places, always remember your roots and acknowledge how hard your past ancestors have gone through those hardships.

Quanzhou Nan Shaolin Hua Quan
Quanzhou Nan Shaolin Hua Quan (Flower Boxing)
Demonstrated by master Pan Hongyong
The Quanzhou Hua Quan system is known for it's concise and compact boxing methods as well as it's stick fighting skills and the rare Yanzi Cheng which are a specialty of this style.
the Quanzhou Hua Quan tradition can be traced back to the late Qing dynasty - early Republican era to two brothers who worked as school teachers, Zhou Cangyu and Zhou Runyu. They passed the system on to a man named Lin Chaotai. Lin Chaotai and his students helped spread the system through out Quanzhou city.
Today this system is taught in the newly built Quanzhou Southern Shaolin temple.
【鉄道PV】無錫地鐵1號線 Documentary of Wuxi Metro Line 1
無錫地鐵1號線是貫穿江蘇省無錫市市區南北的一條城市快速軌道交通線路,為《無錫市城市快速軌道交通規劃》中的第一條線路,也是無錫第一條正式運營的軌道交通線路。該線於2009年11月8日全線開工,於2014年7月1日正式運營。
地鐵線路全長29.42km(高架線7.25km,地下線及敞開段22.17km),共設有車站24座,其中地下站19座,高架站5座,列車最高運行速度可達80km/h。該線列車車輛是由中國南車株機公司自主研發生產的B型車,採用鼓型車體4動2拖6輛編組型式,這也是中國大陸第一個採用大載客量6B編組型式地鐵的非省會地級市。
1號線走線北起堰橋站,沿惠山新城的惠山大道,向南跨錫北運河、滬寧高速公路至風賓路、錫澄路後下穿滬寧鐵路,抵中山路、清揚路後下穿京杭大運河,至梁東路、南湖大道蠡湖大道,直至終點長廣溪站。全程行車時間約50分鐘。
無錫地鐵1號線車輛採用6節編組,由2個單元所組成。其中每個單元由1節拖車(TC車)和2節動車(M1車和M2車)組成。車輛供電方式為第三軌下部接觸受電,其額定供電電壓為DC1500V,車輛最高運行速度為80km/h,設計構造速度為90km/h,反向退行最大速度為10km/h。此外,由於採用了南車株機設計的鼓型車體,因此最大載客量可達1862人。
無錫地鐵1號線車輛內部天花板表面沿車輛中心線距地板面的最小高度為2100mm,每節車客室每側擁有4套雙開式電動塞拉門,同側的車門可以同時打開或關閉。每節車兩側共配備6塊雙層鋼化安全玻璃窗,每側各配備3張長座椅,並專門設置了殘疾人專區。在車輛內部裝修中,還融入了「月亮門」造型的江南園林藝術風格,而在冬天,座椅下方設置有電熱器,可為座椅上的乘客供暖。
無錫地鐵1號線沿線站點停靠月台均為6輛最大編成數量站台,其中,堰橋、錫北運河、天一、劉潭四個高架站為側式站台,其餘均為島式站台,比較特殊的是莊前站,因站點設置地處高架與地下轉換處,無法實現深挖,列車直接停靠在地下一層,故乘客需經過專用天橋進入地面站點再可進入地下。
換乘站方面,在無錫火車站、市民中心站設有島式L形換乘站,分別與規劃中的3號線、4號線實現換乘;在三陽廣場站則設有島式十字形換乘站,與2號線實現換乘。
Wuxi Metro Line 1 is a rapid transit line running from north to south Wuxi, China. It was opened on 1 July 2014. This line is 29.42 km long with 24 stations.

Lao Wang's birthday in QuanZhou 泉州, China
Happy meal with warm beers and a full table ...
Mister Lao Wang (my landlord) displays his talkative skills while playing violin in front of his guests.
In the summer of 2012 we spent 2 months together in this wooden house, in 泉州, QuanZhou, Fujian province.
*****
Quanzhou was the Shanghai of China ... 1,000 years ago.
The city in southeast Fujian was known as the largest port in Asia during the Song (960-1279) and Yuan dynasties (1271-1368).
According to legend, Marco Polo bid farewell to the nation from this town in late 13th century and described it as the Alexandria of the East.
