The second half of West Street, where ancient charm meets modern trends

The first half of West Street is always bustling with tourists. But when I step into the second half, it feels like entering another world. Here, the atmosphere of the small bar street gradually thickens, with various unique small bars scattered around 😎. However, amidst this modern vibe, there is still a touch of Quanzhou's old charm that is mesmerizing 😍. In the early hours, the second half of West Street begins to showcase its unique Minnan characteristics. Buns, steamed buns, manjianguo, youtiao... various traditional breakfasts appear one after another 🤤. Seeing those steaming baskets and smelling the aroma of food wafting through the streets makes one feel like traveling back in time. As you go deeper into the second half, you can find some hidden surprises 🎁 in the alleys. It might be a traditional handicraft shop or a quiet little courtyard, all revealing the rustic charm of Quanzhou. And those small bars, though not as noisy as the first half of West Street, have their own stories 📖. They may have unique decor styles or special drinks that attract people to have a sip 🍷 and feel the night of Quanzhou in a slight intoxication. Here, you can experience modern sophistication and taste traditional Minnan life. This unique blend is intoxicating 🤩. If you come to West Street in Quanzhou, don't miss the scenery of the second half. It's like a colorful book 📚, with each page filled with stories of Quanzhou, waiting for you to read and feel... ⚠️ TIPS: ● You can come to the second half of West Street after nine or ten in the evening to feel the atmosphere of the small bars and taste various traditional breakfasts. ● Try some local specialties, such as manjianguo and garlic sticks, but make sure to choose reputable shops. ● When exploring the alleys, pay attention to safety, keep quiet, and do not disturb the residents.
