Visit Kaiyuan Temple, one of China's largest and most important Buddhist temple, and the nearby Qingjing Mosque, the oldest Mosque in China and rated as one of the top ten Muslim holy sites of the world. Take a stroll around the nearby Guandi Temple dedicated to Guan Yu, and visit the Fuwen Temple built in Tang Dynasty as a memorial temple of Confucius, the greatest ideologist and the founder of Confucianism. Enjoy the flexibility of the custom-built private tour and explore the city at your desired way and pace.
