...So this is the place my friends were talking about...

Quanzhou has Nanyang-style architecture and delicious food everywhere. Temples and shrines are everywhere, just like the saying "half city of fireworks, half city of immortals"❗ —— ✈️ ✓Day 1: Quanzhou Old Town Route: Kaiyuan Temple → Quanzhou West Street → Youli Rooftop Cafe & Bar or Berry Crazy (West Street Rooftop Branch 2) → Bell Tower → Tonghuai Guanyue Temple → Tianhou Temple —— ① Kaiyuan Temple: The East and West Pagodas, landmarks of Quanzhou, are located in the temple, which is also one of the filming locations of Black Myth: Wukong. ② Quanzhou West Street: West Street is right outside Kaiyuan Temple. There are delicious foods everywhere. You don't need to look for a photo spot, just take a picture and it will be very Quanzhou. ③ Youli Rooftop Cafe & Bar or Berry Crazy (West Street Rooftop Branch 2): If you want to take a picture of West Street and the Twin Pagodas, you can go to the rooftop. ④ Bell Tower: Walk along West Street to the intersection and you will see the Bell Tower. ⑤ Tonghuai Guanyue Temple: The temple is dedicated to Guan Yu and Yue Fei, who are worshiped by the people of Quanzhou. The roof of the temple is of great aesthetic value, and it looks beautiful when lit up at night. ⑥ Tianhou Temple: The largest Mazu temple in Quanzhou. ✓Day 2 Wulin Traditional Village → Yongning Ancient City → Shishi Golden Coast → Luojia Temple → Return 🎐 Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village: The ancient village is full of traditional Minnan culture. 🎐 Yongning Ancient City: Streets and city walls in the style of the Southern Song Dynasty. Walking in the ancient city is very pleasant. 🎐 Shishi Golden Coast: Watch the sea on the black reefs and white sand beach. 🎐 Luojia Temple: A Buddhist kingdom by the sea. The incense in the temple is not as strong as that in Mount Putuo or Meizhou Island, but Li Xian has been here. ❗Tips: ⭕The parking lot of Kaiyuan Temple is small, so go early. Otherwise, rent an electric bike. ⭕Listen to the guide in Kaiyuan Temple and Tianhou Temple, or you will miss half of the fun. ⭕Special snacks: ginger duck, fried vinegar pork, noodle paste, stone flower jelly, oyster omelet, etc. I had ginger duck for three meals in a row. 😋 Where to go on weekends? If you have been to all the places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, you might as well visit Quanzhou.
