Nanputuo Temple is a major destination of Buddhists. Situated at the foot of the Five Old Men Peak (五老峰, Wu3 Lao3 Feng1), this peaceful temple is over 1,000 years old and is Xia`men oldest sight. Look for the character Fo (佛), which means Buddha in Chinese, carved into a rock-at 15 feet (4.6meters) it`s hard to miss.
