Quanzhou Two-Day Travel Guide

🌟Quanzhou Two-Day Tour Guide Open🌟 ── Day One ── 🌈Entering Quanzhou for the first time, the weight of history and the feast of food intertwine✨ 🎉Arrive at Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport or Quanzhou Station early in the morning, open your heart and prepare to welcome this thousand-year-old historical and cultural city! 🛕Our first stop is Kaiyuan Temple, an ancient temple whose history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. As you step through the threshold, you will be shocked by the thousand-year-old trees and the tranquil atmosphere. The temple is filled with buildings from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, each brick and tile telling the story of the years. It's free to visit! 🍢After lunch, stroll through the intertwined history and reality of West Street, as if you were in the marketplace of ancient times. The dazzling array of small shops and unique local snacks will satisfy your appetite. 📸In the evening, West Street and the vicinity of Kaiyuan Temple are excellent places for photo ops. The warm yellow street lights and the quaint buildings create an interesting contrast, producing great shots in minutes! 🍃If you have enough time, the night views of East Lake and West Lake Park are not to be missed. The lakes and mountains are even more enchanting at night, and a walk among them is refreshing. ── Day Two ── A deeper understanding of culture and customs🕌 🗿We set off in the morning to visit the Prefectural Confucian Temple, where we can appreciate the architectural forms of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Every pillar and tile is full of historical traces. 🕍Next, we visit the Qingjing Mosque, the earliest existing Islamic mosque in China. Its unique architectural style and strong religious atmosphere command respect. ⛩Then we go to Guanyue Temple, where the incense is very strong. Entering the temple, you will be infected by the strong atmosphere of faith. 🌾Our last stop is the Tianhou Palace, the origin of Mazu temples at home and abroad. Mazu, as the protector of the sea, has always been revered by seafarers. Here, you can feel the profound influence of Mazu culture. 🍲After lunch, we go to Xunpu Village to learn about the culture of Xunpu fisherwomen wearing 'flower crowns', and enjoy the sunset on the Jinjiang River. Beautiful scenery and delicious food, everything is available. 🎈The two-day tour of Quanzhou ends here. Have you been attracted by the deep historical culture of this city? Come to Quanzhou and experience the weight of history and the feast of food!🎉🎊
