While wandering around admiring the architecture and people watching, visitors may be fortunate enough to be there when suddenly they are aware of lovely music wafting out from one of the Minnan Buddhism college buildings where the monks and their trainees are singing. Such beautiful music is always so welcome.

Xiamen not only provides excellent shopping for its visitors and tourists but also enjoyable and interesting sights to visit. Among many places to see are Hulishan Fortress which combines history, cannons, and gardens while Nan Putuo Temple and its Minnan Buddhism College provide an active look into Buddhism and its architecture and make a most interesting tour.
