Sunset Serenity at Luoyang Ancient Bridge: A Timeless Beauty
#bestsunset #100waysoftravel #china #quanzhou
We visited Luoyang Ancient Bridge in Quanzhou, a city rich in maritime history and a key stop along the ancient Maritime Silk Road. The bridge, originally built during the Song Dynasty, is celebrated as one of China's Four Great Ancient Bridges and has earned the distinction of being a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site and a National Key Cultural Relic.
As the sun began to set, its golden light bathed the stone bridge, creating a stunning reflection in the waters of the bay. The peaceful scene, framed by this 1,200-year-old marvel, made our visit truly unforgettable, blending history, culture, and nature in a moment of pure beauty.
I regret not coming to Quanzhou earlier
Quanzhou, half a city of fireworks and half a city of immortals, is a place you must visit at least once in your life~ There is a temple every 500 meters here, which is the office of the gods on earth, the most beautiful coastline selected by National Geographic, and a food paradise for individuals!
🌈Classic one-day tour route
West Street (the most intact ancient street in Quanzhou city)-Kaiyuan Temple (the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian Province, once called Lotus Temple, which arouses the DNA of my lotus head)-Xiaoxi Cheng (net red wall)-Bell Tower-Zhongshan Street-Fu Wen Temple-Guan Yue Temple-Tianhou Palace
🌈Photo route
Because this trip stayed in Hui'an County Julong Town Longgu Mountain House, which is a 40-minute drive away, so I only went to the most out-of-the-picture West Street➕Kaiyuan Temple, enjoy the city scenery and rest in the rooftop coffee shop~ In the afternoon, I went to Xifu Begonia in Xunpu Village to take ancient costumes~ (This will be introduced in detail in the next article)
🌈Food recommendation
We had breakfast at the hotel➕went to the rooftop coffee on West Street, and ate Song Xiaojin·Quanzhou Restaurant in Xunpu Village after taking pictures in the evening (the best meal of this trip, praise me for finding delicious food)
Around 7:30 I went back to Longgu Mountain House to rest, and arrived at more than 8:00, it was still early to take a walk or let the housekeeper arrange a car to go to the hot spring♨️ are good choices~
I really like this slow-paced town, which reminds me of my hometown~ I want to bring my loved ones again next time🥰

I stayed in a hotel and felt like I had traveled through time
Last time I mentioned that I went to a resort, the hotel I stayed in was quite good, it's called 'Longgu Mountain House Hotel'.
Don't just think it's a mountain area because of its name, in fact, it has a complete set of facilities! There are two types of rooms, phase one and phase two. The phase one rooms are in a Chinese Zen style, and the phase two rooms are in a simple light-colored original wood style.
I specifically came to take pictures of my little Hanfu and little hairpin flower, so I definitely chose phase one😎
The exterior wall is surrounded by vines, it's a more Chinese-style courtyard, with pavilions, courtyards, terraces, towers, and corridors. Our ancestors really knew what they were doing, a casual shot is absolutely beautiful, it's really not an exaggeration to say it's like a painting.
Forests, streams, sunshine, white walls and grey tiles, Chinese courtyards, the perfect combination of traditional Chinese architecture and natural ecology, it's very Zen-like, I feel like I've been sublimated just by staying here haha
You can also make tea by the outdoor stove, if you like the hustle and bustle, you can directly go to the reception lobby to sit and taste tea
The restaurant also has rice paper and bamboo pieces, it really has a feeling, it's simple and elegant. The name is also quite nice, it's called 'Mountain House Collection · Vegetarian Restaurant'. The meals are served in a set meal style, following the concept of 'eat with the seasons', seasonal ingredients, simple and original taste. Haha I'm being a bit rustic again, I feel like I've 'traveled through time, I'm a young lady who is dining' after a set meal.
❗There's also a hot spring! Hot spring! ps. Remember to bring a bathrobe🥋
If you're really bored, you can go to the park, there's a horse riding field, tennis court, gym, golf and other fun things, highly recommended!

A theme park that combines viewing and entertainment, it's really special in Fujian
There are eight venues and eight performances to watch
In addition to the super large version of the underwater world and rare marine animals to watch
The tropical rainforest venue and the cute pet park are also very interesting
My favorite is the cute little penguins and the super shocking Russian circus
There are also plenty of amusement facilities
The refreshing and exciting Rapids Adventure - Amazon Drift
And the super long roller coaster🎢 I've brushed it seven or eight times!
The Swan Castle in the middle is super photogenic whether it's day or night
You can take beautiful castle photos from any angle!
🏰O'Le Castle Fairy World
Newly opened this year, I was shocked the first time I entered the venue
The 40,000 square meter indoor park is perfect for someone like me who can't stand the heat
Under the blessing of various amusement facilities, fairy tale scenes and lighting atmosphere
It really feels like playing in a fairy tale world

This little town! It has fulfilled all my imaginations of vacation
After working hard for a year, I finally took a vacation. I drove 1.5h to this paradise to enjoy the holiday. Away from the hustle and bustle, close to the beauty of the lake and mountains. Horse riding, flower arranging, tea making around the stove, boating, hot spring bathing... There is also a huge children's playground! It's so suitable for a family vacation! I really regret why I didn't come earlier!!!

Exploring Hui'an, Quanzhou: The Dragon Valley Mountain House in Julong Town
After my last post about the vegetarian options at the mountain house, I noticed some of you were quite interested❣ Today, I'm sharing about the one-stop travel hotel in Julong Town - Dragon Valley Mountain House⛰
🚗Location advantage: It's just a 5-minute drive from Hui'an high-speed railway station to Dragon Valley Mountain House. The town is extensively covered in greenery🍃. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this place a paradise.
The perfect blend of 🌳forests, 🏞streams, and 🇨🇳Chinese architecture makes the blue sky and white clouds here taste different.
A lot of effort has been put into the construction of the houses. The craftsmen were hired to build according to the mortise and tenon structure. Although the town is large, you don't have to worry about transportation💐. There's a one-to-one butler service to arrange your travel, and there are also electric cars for shuttle service within the park.
We stayed in the second phase of the guest rooms. The butler introduced that the first phase tends to be more Chinese Zen style, while the second phase is closer to the minimalist style, with light-colored original wooden furniture and smart home appliances.
👍ps: One thing worth praising is the many thoughtful designs in the room. From the complimentary fruit on arrival, smart makeup mirror, emergency button in the bathroom, to the smart home appliance settings, you can feel the warmth.♥
The town also has hot springs + pine cone tribe + sports center + breakfast + afternoon tea. It's suitable for business, groups, or family outings.
For the fast-paced, high-pressure city life we're living now, staying a night at Dragon Valley Mountain House can make you feel relaxed both physically and mentally. 🦜Listen to the birds, watch the babbling streams, soak in the hot springs, and shed all the fatigue.
It's still very, very niche, so there's little crowd and it's quiet, yet elegant.
Chinese-style villa garden Fujian Quanzhou leisure resort hotel ceiling
🌷Can't stand the crowd of attractions, just want to relax somewhere, I found Quanzhou•Hui'an~ a good place with mountains, water and sea!
🌷Actually, I always think that the Chinese-style decoration is more liked by my parents' generation, and I always feel that it has nothing to do with modernity, but this time I completely changed my mind.
🌷The thorough Chinese style, from the entrance, the design of the large garden makes people feel particularly imposing, there are many places where you can sit down and rest or even taste tea🫖.
🌷This time I chose the villa, the hall on the first floor is quite a grandeur of a large mansion. There is also a mahjong machine upstairs, the overall style is Chinese, but it is very modern, there is no old-fashioned.
🌷Here you can also change into your favorite Hanfu and take a set of cross-dressing style photos, and also give away tickets for the parent-child paradise and hot springs, as well as various sports experience coupons, let me experience the fun of horse riding🐴.

Chongwu Coastline is known as one of the most beautiful eight coastlines in China. There are twelve charming and charming bays on Chongwu Peninsula. Xishawan, Qingshan Bay and Banyuwan are all Chongwu coastlines.
Dahui Hui Women's Style Garden, located in the easternmost part of the Chongwu Peninsula, is also one of the ten most beautiful villages in Fujian. From time to time, you can see Hui'an women walking by, and I think it is also May Day. For the sake of the day, there are still fewer tourists on foot in the weekdays.
The ground near the shoreline is planted with peanuts, and the weeds are full of beautiful little flowers. Go down to the reef on the beach, all over the ground, and slip carefully.
Along the Xiaoyan Village, you can also play the world-class Otaru Art Museum in Kachumen. The appearance of the
art museum is the most local decoration. It is an architectural style with the traditional features of southern Fujian. The masonry stone that was demolished from the old local house is simple and heavy, and the stone is clearly visible. It is a trace of time accumulation.
Entering the exhibition hall of the art gallery, the original factory boiler bed is transformed into a service desk, which distinguishes the north and south exhibition halls; the sketching works of many painters are placed to let more people know that Otaru is a natural art museum. The scenery is as beautiful as a natural picture.
Chongwu Ancient City is one of the main concentrated areas of Hui'an women, both of whom are famous in China and abroad. They wear yellow plaques, draped with white floral headscarves, squatting on cheeks and jaws, wearing blue slanted shirts on the upper body, short and narrow. Exposed to the belly, with a silver waist chain around the waist, wearing a wide and elegant low-waist black pants, with a delicate and beautiful headwear. The proverb says: "Feudal head, democratic belly, saving clothes, and wasting pants." Hui'an women's clothing was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list in 2006.

The first beam bridge across the sea - Quanzhou Luoyang Bridge.
Luoyang Bridge, the oldest existing beam bridge across the sea in China, is located on the Luoyang River in the eastern suburbs of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. It is the beginning of the raft foundation of the world bridge and is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
Luoyang Bridge (also known as Wan'an Bridge) is located at the mouth of the Luoyang River, 5 kilometers away from Quanzhou City. It was built by Cai Xiang, the governor of Quanzhou, from the fifth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1053-1059). The Luoyang Bridge is made of huge and hard granite stones. The existing bridge is about 731 meters long, with 47 holes in the main bridge section and 45 stone piers, which are built on a natural island (Zhongzhou) in the middle of the bridge. There are 645 railings and 104 lion columns on both sides of the bridge, and the bridge deck is paved with more than 300 long stone slabs, the longest of which is about 11 meters long and weighs 15 tons. There are 7 stone pagodas of various shapes on both sides of the bridge, 4 stone generals guarding the bridge, a pavilion and a stele pavilion on Zhongzhou, a temple dedicated to Cai Xiang, the builder of Luoyang Bridge, on the south side of the bridge, and a Zhaohui Temple dedicated to Tongyuan King on the north side of the bridge, which became the command post for Cai Xiang to build the bridge.
As a masterpiece of simply supported beam stone bridge across the sea, Luoyang Bridge is a major technical exploration of the development of Quanzhou's transportation system. The construction of Luoyang Bridge used "raft foundation", "floating beam erection", "oyster cultivation and foundation reinforcement" and other bridge construction techniques, which represented the most advanced bridge construction techniques in China at that time. It is known as one of the "Four Ancient Bridges of China" together with Lugou Bridge in Beijing, Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei and Guangji Bridge in Guangdong.
As the first important bridge across the river and sea in Chinese history, Luoyang Bridge is in line with the rise of Quanzhou City, and the history of Luoyang Bridge is a history of the development of maritime trade and economic prosperity in Quanzhou. "Standing like the East and West Towers, lying like Luoyang Bridge" has become the spiritual temperament of Quanzhou people, passed down from generation to generation, telling the wisdom and spirit of the ancestors of Quanzhou, and writing a brilliant historical chapter of Quanzhou's birth to the sea.
Envious of the relaxed vibe of Quanzhou's seaside Lalaland.

I thought I had stepped into a Miyazaki world! In Fujian!
You've probably all been on a small train before,
But! Have you ever been on a small train that travels through the seaside🌊, Hobbit Town🛖, grassy stream🏞️, beach pool🏖️, zoo🦒, and amusement park🎈? It feels like being a magical girl living in a Miyazaki world👸🏻
I love this small village that looks like both Hobbit Town and Teletubbyland. It completely fulfills my fantasy of the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies and brings back childhood memories.
During the day, the weather is fresh and clean. At night, the tracks are lit up with romantic lights. Each zone has a different style, and every corner is photogenic. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the design. After a tour, you can have afternoon tea or dinner at the restaurant in the park. Most prices are similar to those of cafes outside, which is acceptable. The pasta is quite delicious🍝
