Attraction

Golden Hill Temple (Jin Shan Si) in the city's western suburb, nicknamed "The Floating Temple" because it stands on a reef in the River Min. Built in the period of the Song Dynasty, the temple is given fresh attraction after repairs were made in recent years. Surrounded by green waves that are dotted with fishing boats, the monastery is shaded by palm trees that grow on the shoals. Special idyllic pleasure can be had either by a look-around in the temple or angling at the riverside and listening to the occasional rings of fishermen's songs.
