About Quanzhou West Street
The quarter retains large Minnan courtyard houses and groups of wooden buildings, giving the streets around the temple a varied domestic scale. Its historic fabric extends beyond the main street into Jiuguanyi Lane and Jingting Lane, whose courtyards form part of the protected core. Looking along these lanes reveals how the monumental temple and the surrounding residential plots fit together.
