Encountering the Heart's Desire: So far, my favorite city has appeared!

Quanzhou, this place is simply my favorite. Even going four times a year is not enough! Full of Minnan style, the coastline is unbelievably beautiful, the ancient city is full of life, and the food, fun, and photography are all unique. The key is that it's super friendly to budget travelers, a paradise for backpackers! ✨ Many attractions here are free to enter, offering incredible value! Day1: Quanzhou Poster Wall → Clock Tower → Quanzhou West Street Main Street → Mei Chaofeng Rooftop → Quanzhou Xiaoxicheng → Youli Rooftop → Yuli Fengwu → Kaiyuan Temple → Xiangfeng Alley Day2: Xunpu Village Hairpin Photography → Wulin Ancient Village Tour, Little Nyonya Photography 👍️ Must-visit attractions: 🎈 Quanzhou Poster Wall Spot one, it's like standing on the high rooftop of the 'Ruibo Yun' hotel. In the past, ordinary people could take the elevator straight to the top, but now it's different. It's become an exclusive secret for guests, and you need a card to go up and enjoy the panoramic view of the city, which is quite impressive! Spot two is hidden next to the Clock Tower, in a mysterious alley off Zhongshan Street. When you stand there, hey, you can just see the huge 'Quanzhou' poster and the closely packed old residential buildings, as if they are telling you the old stories of the city. This scene is warm and down-to-earth, making you feel cozy at first glance. 🎈 Chaofeng The rooftops of Store 1 and Store 2 are actually connected, like a secret base for twins. If you want to take a panoramic view of West Street, the end of West Street is a perfect spot, with an incredibly wide view. Of course, taking a photo of the Clock Tower from the store entrance is also a good choice. The Clock Tower stands tall, exuding a sense of historical weight. Speaking of the milk tea in this store, the taste is really top-notch, and the value for money is super high. Taking a sip is immensely satisfying. Moreover, they are very considerate, allowing you to freely go up and down to take photos, without any sense of restriction. Such a good place, you can't miss it! 🎈 Youli Rooftop Coffee Speaking of popular spots for sunset photography on the ancient street, it's really crowded in the evening, like a market. This store has a 'threshold fee' of 20 yuan per person, but fortunately, this fee can be used as a drink voucher, which gives a bit of psychological comfort. But honestly, the experience is somewhat discounted, feeling like you're paying to suffer, waiting in line for so long just to take a photo, which is a bit not worth it. However, if you are a photography enthusiast or really love the scenery there, it might be a different story. 🎈 Quanzhou Xiaoxicheng Bai Yansong once described Quanzhou with this sentence! It is said that this brick wall is about to be demolished, and the wishing wall next to it is very suitable for hairpin photography~ 🎈 Kaiyuan Temple West Street is a landmark building gathering place in Quanzhou. When mentioning this place, the first thing that comes to mind is the twin towers, which are a must-visit for photography. Walking on West Street, you will find many people looking for various angles just to see the twin towers and take a photo to capture this beauty. But don't just focus on taking photos, remember to slow down and truly feel the unique, local nostalgic atmosphere of West Street. Walking on the stone-paved road, with ancient buildings on both sides, and occasionally smelling the enticing aroma of snacks, this feeling is truly intoxicating. So, when you come to West Street, not only should you take beautiful photos, but also use your heart to feel every bit of beauty here! 🎈 Yuli Fengwu Next to Kaiyuan Temple, there is a small shop that is a treasure trove! It has all kinds of little trinkets, and I even found a fridge magnet that I absolutely love, I can't put it down. Moreover, the wooden building it is located in has a special charm, feeling like time has slowed down. What's more interesting is that there is a very distinctive wall next door - 'Half City Smoke, Half City Immortal'. Just hearing the name makes you want to take a photo. Standing there, it feels like you've traveled back to ancient times, half filled with the smoke of human life, and half with an ethereal, immortal feeling, it's wonderful! 🎈 Clock Tower Here, you can immediately see the iconic building - the white European-style clock tower, paired with the red brick houses next to it, it's simply stunning! Whether you come during the day or stroll in the evening, the scenery is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. During the day, the sunlight shines on it, making the clock tower look particularly white and elegant, and the red brick houses even more charming; in the evening, the sunset makes the whole scene softer, adding a touch of warmth and romance. In short, this is a great place for photography! 🎈 Xiangfeng Alley Right opposite the entrance of Kaiyuan Temple, there is a very charming little alley! Walking along this road, wow, there are so many delicious foods that it's dazzling! Let's talk about the beef offal first, it's so fragrant that it makes your mouth water, every bite is full of happiness. And the mochi, soft, glutinous, and sweet, is so delightful to eat. The four-fruit soup is also a must-try, refreshing and cooling, sweet but not greasy, it's the best companion for summer. Not to mention the noodle soup, which warms your stomach and heart, one bite and you feel completely comfortable. Quanzhou's food is truly satisfying! Walking in this alley, eating while strolling, is one of life's greatest pleasures! 🎈 Tourist Center Upstairs To feel the charm of the tower up close, you need to find a good angle and shoot directly, ensuring that your photos are of blockbuster quality. Of course, taking aerial shots of the street's storefronts and cultural walls also has a unique flavor, with a sense of layering that is really rich. What to do when you're tired of taking photos? Don't worry, there's a fantastic coffee shop here waiting for you. Order a cup of fragrant coffee, find a comfortable corner to sit down, and slowly savor it, letting your body and mind relax. Drinking coffee while enjoying the surrounding scenery, such times are simply too pleasant!
