Fujian Sanming Shaxian welcomes you to enjoy authentic Shaxian snacks

That's right, it's Shaxian in Fujian 👏👏. Although it may not be as famous as Quanzhou or Xiamen, its scenery and food are just as good. Don't believe me? Just check out my guide 🫡🫡 ☝️ First stop, Dongmen Ancient Street. Built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, this place connects 36 Ming and Qing dynasty arcade buildings with bluestone paths. It is a nationally protected cultural heritage site and carries the rich historical memory of Shaxian! The best photo spot is standing on Dongmen Bridge for an overhead shot, capturing the flying eaves and big red lanterns of the entire ancient street. It’s even more stunning when the night lights come on 🫨🫨 🥈 Second stop, Qifeng Diecui. This is one of the famous "Shayang Eight Views" in Shaxian's history. The scenic area borders Shaxi River to the north and extends to the suspension bridge in the west. It was rated a national AAA-level tourist attraction in 2020. The core attraction, Qiulong Long Bridge, is a steel-frame leisure plank bridge with a winding shape resembling a coiled dragon. It’s perfect for a relaxing hike, and at 8 PM there’s a 20-minute light show, making the anticipation sky-high 🎊🎊 🥉 Third stop, Taojin Mountain. Established in the Song Dynasty and developed during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Taojin Mountain is rich in cultural attractions, including a millennium-old iron tree cluster and a giant stone reclining Buddha. It’s a tourist destination that combines history, religion, and natural beauty. Despite the name, there’s no gold here 🥳🥳. After all that walking, let’s sit down and grab some food 🍽️🍽️. The local cultural and tourism bureau launched the "Shaxian One-Day Food Card" for 218 yuan, allowing you to taste three non-heritage foods covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Isn’t that thoughtful? I chose Huatian Banmu, which specializes in beef bowl + southern French chicken salad + crispy shrimp chips. The portions are generous, the taste is excellent, and the environment is great for photos. In the afternoon when I felt sleepy, I went to Qu Xiang No.1. Just the archway alone is worth a whole day of photos. I ordered the Shaxian landmark coffee + red bean soup + jujube flower pastry set, which really tastes like Shaxian. For dinner, wanting something hearty, I went to Fat Cat Restaurant for fermented rice bracken + stir-fried pork + kelp sprout soup + rice. Full and satisfied, I headed back to the hotel ready to post on social media 😎😎 🎉[Joyful]
