South Putuo Temple is a famous ancient temple in Xiamen City. It is located in front of Wulao Mountain. It was firstly established in the early Song Dynasty. In Ming Dynasty, it was enlarged. And it was restored in the early Qing Dynasty. In 1925, the temple set up a Buddhist academy: Minnan Buddhist Academy, which made the temple widely known. A lot of Buddhists visited the temple and the academy in pursuit of sacred Buddhism. After the establishment of the PRC, the temple was restored again. Now it takes on a new look.
