Quanzhou, situated on the southeastern coast of Fujian Province, was an important harbor on the "Maritime Silk Road." In history, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Taoism were disseminated here. Therefore, Quanzhou is called the "world museum of religions."

Major religious sites include the Statue of Immortality of the Clear Source Mountain, the Kaiyuan Monastery, the Pure and Clean Mosque, and the Islamic Tombs.
