Former Site of the Huating Underground Transportation Station

The former site of the Huating Underground Transportation Station is a classic red tourism attraction.

The former site of the Huating Underground Transportation Station is located at No. 199, Shanzai, Puliu Village, Huating Town, Chengxiang District, Putian City.

Lanting Temple was an important location where underground transportation agents in Puliu Village exchanged intelligence during the revolutionary war. It safely transmitted intelligence for the Putian Party organization on multiple occasions and contributed to the revolutionary struggle.

Lanting Temple, also known as Caoting Temple, is located on the western foothills of Xishan Mountain in Huating Town. Initially built in the early Ming Dynasty and expanded during the Qing Dynasty, the temple was further enlarged by local villagers through multiple donations in the 1990s. Covering nearly 1.5 acres with a construction area of 480 square meters, the temple houses a mural of Guanyin painted by Wu Daozi (one of only three such murals in China). The surrounding area features numerous ancient stone inscriptions by literati, holding significant cultural value. Currently, it serves as one of the main venues for folk activities among local villagers.

Lanting Temple at the former site of the Huating Underground Transportation Station was designated as a cultural relics protection unit of Putian County by the Putian County People's Government in September 1981.
