I regret not coming to Quanzhou earlier this year, as there are several must-visit spots that you can't miss

Only after visiting Quanzhou can one truly understand the saying 'half the city is bustling with life, and the other half is like a fairyland', I really love this small city with its strong Minnan (Southern Fujian) cultural atmosphere, Moreover, it is the starting point of the maritime Silk Road, The unique geographical location, historical culture, and humanistic charm have created a small and beautiful city story that everyone who sees it will love.. - ⭐️ Quanzhou is a city that is very suitable for walking and eating, and it is even more suitable for those who like to take photos. Here is a two-day citywalk itinerary: Day1⃣️ One-day citywalk in the old city of Quanzhou, from West Street ➡️ Kaiyuan Temple ➡️ Youli Coffee ➡️ Meichao Feng Coffee ➡️ Bell Tower ➡️ Chengtian Temple ➡️ Guanyue Temple ➡️ Tianhou Palace ➡️ Zhongshan Road, forming a nice little loop. Day2⃣️ Luoyang Bridge ➡️ Wudian Market ➡️ Wulin Ancient Village ➡️ Luojia Temple. - ⭐️ For those who like to take photos, don't miss these 13 spots. ✅ Bairui·Yuntai The panoramic view of Quanzhou ancient city, located on the rooftop of the hotel, requires a room card to access, or you can wait in the elevator and ask a passing guest to swipe for you. - ✅ Meichao Feng Rooftop The three-story terrace has a great view and is very photogenic, and you can go up without spending, but there are many tourists, so it's recommended to come in the morning. - ✅ West Street Youli Coffee Rooftop A very popular panoramic spot on West Street, but it is also very crowded with tourists, and there are fewer people in the morning. 🈺️9:30-24:00, 🎫20 yuan or order a drink. - ✅ West Street Tourist Center Rooftop The third-floor rooftop faces Kaiyuan Temple directly, and you can go up without a ticket, making it a great photo spot. - ✅ Xiangfeng Alley A small alley filled with the atmosphere of daily life, using the outline of the alley to take photos of Kaiyuan Temple is very photogenic, and it is also suitable for portrait photography, but it's better when there are fewer people. - ✅ Zhongshan Middle Road Pedestrian Street The rooftop of nearby residential buildings or the perspective of drone aerial photography is more unique - ✅ Chengtian Temple A thousand-year-old temple, one of the 'Three Great Jungles of Southern Fujian', with very thick banyan trees inside, showing its profound heritage. 🎫 Free. - ✅ Guanyue Temple The Minnan architecture here is really beautiful, and it can be said to be a representative work of temple architecture, with very strong incense. 🎫 Free, no photography allowed inside the temple. - ✅ Luoyang Bridge The earliest existing sea-crossing beam bridge, built during the Song Dynasty, is one of the four famous ancient bridges in China. 🎫 Free, it is recommended to visit during high tide, as the mudflats will be exposed during low tide. - ✅ Luojia Temple A sea temple, very photogenic with drone aerial photography, it is recommended to go to the opposite beach during high tide to take a punch-in photo, 🎫 Free, it is quite far from Quanzhou city center, you can hire a car to go there. - ✅ Wudian Market A hidden Minnan ancient house complex in the bustling city, which is also a fashionable district combining ancient style with modernity, good for strolling, eating, and taking photos. 🎫 Free, about 30 minutes drive from Quanzhou city center. - ✅ Wulin Ancient Village A Minnan ancient village worth visiting, with strong Nanyang style architecture and also Western style, very worth visiting. 🎫 Free, about 30 minutes from Quanzhou city center, very close to Wudian Market.
