chengtian temple, located in the licheng district of quanzhou, fujian, is also known as yuetai temple. this alternative name comes from the two glistening golden characters for "yue tai (moon terrace) " inscribed on the plaque above its main gate.
the "former site of the south garden" in the temple's eastern wing is a traditional garden complex. it features a square pond, pavilions, and corridors surrounded by lush, verdant trees and flowers. here, you will also find the dragon king well, which, at about 3 meters in diameter, boasts the clearest, purest water and the most abundant water source in all of quanzhou.
