In Quanzhou, there is a Tang Dynasty monastery, Kaiyuan Temple, which was first built earlier than the city wall was constructed. The monastery reached its prosperity as the largest Buddhist temple, with the most prominent official status in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the Mahavira hall of Kaiyuan Temple, the stone pillars and wood beams are intricate and exquisite. The 24 flying Apsaras are endowed with strong Chinese characteristics. They are not only architectural components, but also the representatives of superb craftsmanship of that period.
