开元寺赑屭 / The ancient stone turtle (bixi) in Kaiyuan Temple. It has lost its stele.天后宫之石龟(赑屭) / An ancient-looking turtle in Tian Hou Gong. The stele is illegible (or just blank?)一幢龟趺碑在位于泉州市博物馆后面的碑林 / Another turtle stele, behind Quanzhou Museum. The inscription is legible, but I can't really read it, beyond figuring that it has to do with someone who earned his jinshi degree疏筑笋浯溪碑(1998年)/ Teenage bixi turtle
This was erected in 1998, to commemorate the dredging of the Sunwu Creek (apparently, of importance for the flood control in the area)
Restored Quanshan Gate, guarded by two bixi.Typical turtle-back tomb / 闽南传统龟甲墓
A traditional grave of southern Fujian's coastal areas: a turtle-back mound surrounded by an Ω-shaped ridge. This was described by de Groot in the late 19th century already.
Islamic version (with Koxinga's equestrian statue seen on the horizon)
In an Islamic version of the above, the Ω-shaped ridge is kept, but the "turtle mound" is replaced by a typical Islamic sarcophagus (or several) - just like those you'd see in a mausoleum in Kashgar or Istanbul.
