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.

Please, Chongwu Ancient City, spare others from the pitfalls I've encountered!
Chongwu in Quanzhou, this Ming Dynasty ancient city built from granite, is truly charming! 🏰👍
Transportation and Tickets From Hui'an, whether you choose to take the bus or a taxi, it's very convenient. Moreover, there's even a free route to enter the ancient city, which is really considerate! 🚌💸
Travel Tips
Stone Sculpture Park: The stone carving art here makes one feel as if they've traveled back to the eras of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West, with each statue coming to life.
Ancient City Beach: Standing by the seaside, feeling the caress of the sea breeze, and listening to the sound of the waves is truly healing! Moreover, there's the legendary deep sea gate that piques one's curiosity.
Half Moon Bay Park: Here, you can order some takeout, sit on the stone steps, blow in the sea breeze, watch the sunset, and enjoy a moment of tranquility.
About Dining
Awei Fish Rolls: A local snack recommended by the locals, the braised noodles and fish rolls are quite good, and although the oyster pancake has a bit too much flour, the overall taste is still great.
Apang Barbecue: The taste of the barbecue is generally salty, but paired with beer, it's a different experience altogether.
Tips
Remember to bring a power bank, as there are no places to borrow one in the ancient city, or you can charge at the small stalls under the lighthouse, which is very convenient.
Be sure to protect yourself from the sun when going to the beach, and enjoy the sunshine while taking care of yourself.
Chongwu Ancient City, a place full of history and culture, whether it's the stone carving art or the beauty of the seaside, makes one linger and forget to return. Come to Chongwu and start your nanny-level journey of eating, drinking, and playing!

Quanzhou | Chongwu Ancient City | A gradually deteriorating tourist spot
The walls of Chongwu Ancient City are well-preserved, but the section from the wall to the sea has been made incomprehensible by so-called cultural embellishments.
Apart from the meaningful statue of Qi Jiguang, there are also a large number of newly made stone statues, including characters from Water Margin, Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Black Cat, and so on. The park is not large, yet it tries to be comprehensive, losing its uniqueness, and the unjustifiable entrance fee is 40 yuan.
The parking lot publicly charges 10 yuan per entry for small cars and minibuses. A lady from Hui'an insisted on charging 20 yuan. When explained that blue license plates should only be charged ten yuan, she said she didn't understand. She can say 'twenty yuan' and 'I don't understand.' One can only hope that the Hui'an women truly only understand 'twenty yuan' and 'I don't understand,' otherwise, it would really tarnish their reputation.

Sea turtles and returnees
Chongwu Ancient City is located on the southeast coast of Hui'an County, about fifty kilometers away from Quanzhou city center. Now, only a section of the ancient city wall remains. There are three major attractions in Chongwu Ancient City: the ancient city wall, stone carvings, and the rocky reefs by the sea.
❤ The rocky reefs by the sea are quite distinctive, with black stone steps that seem to be artificially chiseled, and the huge sea turtles are clearly visible, still facing the direction of returning to TW province...

Good places to go during the Spring Festival, come to Hui'an Chongwu Ancient City to feel the New Year atmosphere
Don't just go to West Street when you come to Quanzhou, I highly recommend going for a walk by the sea!
Recently, Quanzhou is so crowded that everywhere you go is full of people😭
Don't go to crowded places in Quanzhou! It's better to go for a walk by the sea!🌈
Quanzhou, rated by National Geographic as one of the most beautiful coastlines in China, has a number of beautiful islands and beaches. Golden beaches, brilliant sunshine, blue sea, white shells... all your yearnings for the sea can be satisfied here😘😘😘

🚌Bus: If you are not in a hurry, you can take a bus from West Street and slowly get there in about 2 hours
🚌Shuttle: Take a shuttle from Quanzhou Station to Chongwu Ancient City in about 1 hour
🚗Taxi: The fastest way is to take a taxi to Chongwu, about 50 kilometers, a bit expensive.
🌸——Recommended Accommodation——
The coastline along the way is very beautiful. If you are not in a hurry, it is recommended to stay for one night. There are sea view homestays along the way. You can go directly to talk to the boss about the price. It is recommended to stay near Huinu Style Park for one night. It is very comfortable to watch the tide, sunrise and sunset here!

It's not abroad, it's Quanzhou! A fairy-tale town heading towards the mountains and the sea!!
I really like the days in Quanzhou~ The millennial small city has a deep historical background~ The scenery is also very beautiful~ This coastal town in the suburbs is really a big surprise~
-
Cute little houses are spread along the coastline~ There are various sizes and colors of boats floating on the sea. The windmills that rise from the ground make me who grew up inland amazed~ The most charming thing here is not only the beautiful sea, but also the original and artistic atmosphere~ Without the meticulous carving of commerce, the original fishermen's fishing villages are very attractive~ It's a great place to relax~

A day trip to Chongwu
Get off the high-speed train at Quanzhou East Station and take the bus to Chongwu Ancient City according to the navigation, which takes a total of one and a half hours. I always believe that the bus is the most intuitive understanding of a city, so I choose the bus when I have enough time. The first experience of entering the ancient city is to look down at the village of the ancient city from the city wall, walk around the racetrack, a total of more than two kilometers, taking about an hour. If you have average physical strength, you can also walk a short distance, because there are no other attractions except the ancient cannons at the narrow pass after a round. The ancient city has five gates in the southeast, northwest and water, and the water gate is very narrow, only one motorcycle can pass. Every family in Chongwu worships Buddha. People here rely on fishing for a living. Women stay at home and pray to Buddha for the safe return of men. There are many temples in the ancient city, and famous attractions include Guandi Temple and Haitide Temple. The stone well is another feature of the ancient city. Famous wells include the wine tasting well and the silk dyeing well. The silk dyeing well is also said to be the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. The above area is the living area of the residents of the ancient city. The tour area of the ancient city is mainly stone carvings, with a ticket price of 45 yuan. You can enter the Chongwu Ancient City tour area for free before seven in the morning and after six in the evening. There is a meteorological boundary line between the East China Sea and the South China Sea. You should be able to see that the sea water is of different colors at the boundary line. Unfortunately, I didn't see it . The statue of the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang stands here with a sword in his hand facing the sea, defending his homeland against foreign enemies. There is a trace of a shell left by the Japanese bombardment of the ancient city in 1938 in the ancient city, reminding the Chinese children to be strong. Another feature of Chongwu is that the dress of middle-aged and older women on the street catches the eye. They are known at home and abroad for their unique clothing and hardworking spirit. This is Hui'an woman, they are Han nationality, not minority. Most of them live in Dazhu Village, which is three kilometers away from the ancient city. There is a direct bus. There is a station in Hui'an Women's Homestay Style Park. You can go or not, no recommendation .

It is known as natural studio and Southern Beidaihe; Hc / walked down the gate of the city, the outside noisy seems to be separated from the gate, the old street is surprisingly quiet. The old streets of the ancient city are all the stone streets, and the old streets are simple houses. The stone houses, red bricks and wooden houses do not have much decoration. These buildings of different ages reveal the stains of the years, and the precipitation is still there.

The ancient city of Chongwu in Quanzhou has always been memorable. The antique courtyard shows the elegance left by the historical changes. The southern Fujian elements are interspersed with the low-rise buildings. The Southern Songs on the wall, the floral costumes worn by the grandmother, and the meatballs that the hospitable locals invited us to eat all tell the inclusiveness, enthusiasm and charm of Minnan culture.
