🌟Take a taxi from Sanming North to - A Dog's Shao Mai - Railway Park (those who want to ride the mini train should search for tips first) Jia Lan Shao Mai - Luo Lan Shaobing - Qu Alley - Qifeng Diecui (take a taxi to) Temple Gate Flat Meat - Jia Lan Shao Mai (specially went to buy duck legs to take away haha) - Suspension Bridge (known as the Arc de Triomphe of Shaxian) - Sat nearby for a long time and then leisurely headed home The above route is quite smooth. Shaxian is very small, and you can easily navigate as everything is not far apart. During the trip, I also spent about 3 hours wandering around the pedestrian street, shopping malls, and Qu Alley. I also visited Qifeng Diecui for 1 hour, which was more than enough time. It's a leisurely small town that I like💕

Shaxian Delicacies Journey (Part 8): Wenchang Street and the Old East Gate

Shaxian snacks have a long history, originating in the Tang and Song dynasties, flourishing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and being passed down to the present day. There are currently 110 varieties of snacks preserved. The craft of making Shaxian snacks is a combination of the culinary techniques of the ancient Central Plains Han immigrants and the Baiyue people, adapting to the local seasonal changes, folk festivals, and activities. It involves various production techniques such as simmering, soaking, pounding, grinding, shuffling, kneading, and sun-drying, combined with cooking methods like steaming, boiling, roasting, frying, and stewing, forming a snack-making technology that incorporates both northern production skills and southern dietary culture. Wenchang Street is home to 13 intangible cultural heritage time-honored brands, nearly 20 inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, and more than 60 famous snacks passed down through generations. Consumers can experience the craft and taste of Shaxian's intangible cultural heritage snacks in one place. Wenchang Street is also known as 'Shaxian Traditional Skills Snack Street', adjacent to the Wenchang Pavilion, which features light shows and 3D water screen shows, and faces the Qifeng Diecui scenic area across the river. The East Gate hides the old stories of Shaxian near Shaxi Stream, located in the heart of the city. In the past, it was the gateway to Shaxian and still maintains the pattern of two roads and nine alleys. Deep in the alleys, the ordinary life breathes quietly, and the old streets, in the midst of a magnificent transformation, are returning to the lives of the people with a younger look.

Located at the Sha County expressway exit, the Snack Culture City is probably a place that all visitors to Sha County will definitely check in. Sha County locals do not deceive outsiders, this place is definitely not the kind of 'tourist spot' you might imagine, it truly hides many 'Sha County good flavors'. Sha County Snack Culture City, also known as Sha Village, is a national 4A level tourist attraction, situated at the Sha County exit of the Fuyin Expressway. With Ming and Qing Dynasty Hui-style architecture, the quaint and elegant shops house a 1600-year-old food culture. The alleys, street sides, and corners here all hide surprises.

The beautiful mountain city of Sha County

Sha County is famous for its snacks and has been recognized as the 'Hometown of Chinese Snacks' and 'Famous City of Chinese Snack Culture'. It represented Fujian Province as the only catering variety at the 'China Food Street' pavilion during the Shanghai World Expo and has successfully settled in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and the People's Congress canteen in Beijing. According to incomplete statistics, there are 30,000 registered snacks in Sha County nationwide. The beautiful mountain city of Sha County is an ancient city with a rich cultural history. I have long admired the authentic Sha County snacks, and this time I had the opportunity to accompany my family elder to the Bayi Kayak Race in Jiangle. When passing through Sha County, a fellow kayaker suggested trying the authentic snacks in the old city, which gave me the chance to visit Sanming Sha County. Although the trip was hurried, the beautiful mountain city of Sha County left me with fond memories. On a winter afternoon, many elderly residents were in the central park, basking in the sun and playing cards, enjoying a leisurely and comfortable life. The streets, with their ancient charm, have a taste of Fuzhou's 'Three Lanes and Seven Alleys'. In the future, I will make time to visit Sha County again, not only to taste other Sha County delicacies but also to savor the historical and cultural heritage of the ancient city of Sha County.

Sha County, you are confused if you don't promote this

A historic city delayed by snacks. Everyone must know Sha County snacks, but they don't know Sha County Shuimei Ancient Castle Group, Sha County is confused, it should promote here. I stayed in Sha County for a day and sorted out a one-day tour guide for everyone! 🗓Itinerary: Sha County Shuimei Ancient Castle Group→Sha County Old Railway Station→Qu Alley→Suspension Bridge→Wenchang Pavilion→Chenghuang Temple→Wenchang Alley→Dongmen Old Street→Sha County Museum→Qifeng Diecui 👍Most recommended: Sha County Shuimei Ancient Castle Group The ancient castle group is composed of Shuangji, Shuangxing and Shuangyuan castles. The layout of the three castles is balanced and rigorous, with complete internal facilities, reflecting the superb architectural skills of the year. The best preserved: Shuangxing Castle was built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, and the outer castle wall was added in the seventh year of Xianfeng. It is high in the south and low in the north, with a drop of about 3 meters. The plane is front and back arcs, covering an area of 4300 square meters. The wall houses, eaves and ridges of the castle are stacked in order, and from a distance, they look like a group of swallows spreading their wings and flying, which is spectacular. The buildings in the castle are all through-bucket-style Xieshanding, the corner tower frame is smeared with corner beams, and the roof is four-sided slope. The largest volume: Shuangyuan Castle was built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and was completed in the first year of Tongzhi. It covers an area of 6500 square meters. The front is an empty field, and there is a corner tower on the north and south sides of the east wall. On the door lintel outside the east gate, the regular script "Dian Que You Ju" is engraved in Yin. The architectural layout of the castle pays attention to the central axis. The front of the east, south, and north corner towers protrudes from the castle wall by 120 cm, with three floors. The first floor is solid, and the second and third floors have defensive space. The smallest volume: Shuangji Castle was completed in the 27th year of Daoguang, and it is a slope-type earth castle with a Jingde Hall inside. The plane is round in front and round in the back, covering an area of 2600 square meters. Shuangji Castle relies on the natural terrain and is artificially modified into a 5-level terrace for construction. The castle has a multi-line layout and pays attention to the use of feng shui in architecture.🏰 Sha County Old Railway Station: An abandoned old station, there is a granary behind, full of retro style, it is a good place to take pictures.🚆 Qu Alley: Internet celebrity check-in place, Internet celebrity coffee and small bars are in this alley. Li Ji and Fei Jie Sha County snacks are also in the nearby Bancuo Alley. Suspension Bridge: Internet celebrity check-in point, spanning the Shaxi River, connecting the attractions on both sides.🌉 Sha County Museum: The museum has a rich collection and is the best place to understand Sha County.🏛️ Qifeng Diecui: Sha County's famous scenic spot, the pedestrian plank road is still very good, it is better to come and see the night view at night.⛰️ 👎Scenic spots that can be skipped if you are in a hurry: Wenchang Pavilion: Newly built ancient buildings, you can watch the light show here at night, and it is also good to take pictures of the Sha County Museum from here.📚 Wenchang Alley: Red block, very quiet, also suitable for check-in and taking pictures, walk to the end is Dongmen Old Street.🎨 Dongmen Old Street: The old building transformed into a commercial block, Sha County should have just started to do these transformation types of industries in the past two years, currently there are not many shops opened, and it is not very lively.🍢 🚉Transportation strategy: Taxi is cheap and convenient. 🍽Catering recommendation: The food is in the next article, everyone is welcome to follow. 🏨Hotel environment: Banshanyun Apartment (Fenghuang Road Branch) The homestay transformed from a residential house, the overall environment is good, the room is quite large, the hygiene and bedding are also good, the only drawback is that there is no elevator, it is not very convenient to live on the fourth or fifth floor. It is recommended to stay next to the municipal government in Sha County, which is convenient everywhere. 📝Note tips: 1. It is best to drive to the ancient castle by yourself, otherwise it is not easy to call a car when you come back, or you can always add strength to call a car from the city on Gaode. The above is the full guide of Sha County One Day Tour I brought to you! Each attraction has its own unique charm, I hope you can gain a lot of beautiful memories in your journey!❤️🎉✨
