There is No.17 bus at the gate of wanshiyan. You can get to Nanputuo temple in one stop. The characteristic of this temple is not only the fragrance of Buddhism, but also the fragrance of books. Outside the temple, there is a couplet written by Yu Yu: "I'm glad to visit the Buddhist Temple School and listen to the wind beating the waves." This school refers to Xiamen University.
