Those of you who enjoy photography will find this temple - and actually likely all other temples as well - great places for taking enjoyable photos that will be interesting to you and your friends. Photos will keep your visit here and everywhere else alive in your thought for so very much longer than if you did not have them to enjoy seeing. Be sure and take your camera!

As you wander about the central courtyard, be sure and notice the elaborate lantern-type lights that hang from many of the roofs such as here.

Tourists are welcome to visit this temple which is included on many bus tours in the Xiamen area. It is expected, of course, that such visitors will be respectful, conservatively dressed, quietly observant of those around them, and not interfere in any way with those who are worshipping.

This courtyard provides space in which worshippers can light their joss sticks and proceed to the many Buddhas to whom they will pray.

Brilliant colors and exotic architectural decoration adorn the Nan Punto Temple in Xiamen, China. Visitors of all backgrounds are welcome to come appreciate its beauty and to quietly wander among the various buildings in this Buddhist complex.
