Fuzhou is a very old city, and the urban area spreads out far on each side of the Min River. There are many old streets and neighborhoods in Fuzhou. In addition，there are many nice parks, but I think the most remarkable place in the city is an impressive temple next to Fuzhou
University.
It is called Xichan Temple. You can't miss it because there's a huge pagoda standing in the middle of the courtyard. I believe there are 12 or 14 different stories to the Buddhist tower and from the top you have a spectacular view of the whole city！
It costs 20 yuan to get in, which is quite expensive but the visit is definitely worth it！There's a huge, stunning banyan tree surrounded by a pond（＝a lake) with thousands of turtles and big gold fish inside ． The little park is decorated with Buddhist statues and ornaments ． It's very peaceful and there's something special about the atmosphere.
People who go to the temple burn joss-paper as well as incense because they believe they will be prosperous in the afterlife if they do so．The smell is overwhelming but it's very enjoyable．This temple is quite large and many monks live there. It's a monastery and you will see them pray to the Buddha whenever you go there. If you get there during a festival, the place will be very crowded and lively. People don't hesitate to bring offerings to the Buddha such as fruit, oil and flowers．It's a colorful religion.
The temple is divided into many different buildings．The architecture is incredible．The roofs follow traditional Chinese style with multi-inclined carpentry (use your hands).The ceilings are very high and the decorations inside are breathtaking. You should really go there. It's one of the most impressive places in Fuzhou.
