2025 Hui'an Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

#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.

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🥰

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!

my boyfriend and I immediately booked this first-line sea view hotel. Who understands!! √Lying and watching the sea √Walking by the sea √High-definition projection √Couple bathtub ◆Built by the sea, you can see the sea when you lie in bed and open your eyes in the room. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows have a very good view. Staring at the sea, the scenery of the whole day will not repeat. Holding hands with my boyfriend on the beach and watching a shocking orange sea sunset is extremely romantic! ◆The homestay is fully equipped and full of design sense The design of Cha Ji Feng is very high-end, and the super-large two-story sea-view floor-to-ceiling windows in the public area are super shocking to watch the sea. There is a coffee shop, a video room, a restaurant, and a super large outdoor swimming pool. Each room is equipped with a Simmons mattress, Marshall audio, and solid wood furniture.

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.

🌷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🐴. 📍Longgu Mountain House

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.

🌀 Built in the Northern Song Dynasty, Luoyang Bridge has survived through the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods, spanning nearly a thousand years. It is the oldest existing cross-sea beam stone bridge in the world. Although it has been repaired in various dynasties, more than 60% of the key structure is still preserved and is still in use today. ‼️ The last repair was in 1939, during the Republic of China period. General Cai Tingkai, commander of the 19th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, led the 19th Route Army to improve local traffic conditions for the strategic and transportation needs of the War of Resistance Against Japan. During the repair, they laid steel bars and poured concrete on the original stone bridge, raising the bridge deck by 2 meters and increasing the width to 6 meters, with a total of 47 holes. 【With three questions in mind, let's start today's journey】 ⭕️ Why is a bridge in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, called "Luoyang Bridge"? Is there any connection with Luoyang in Henan Province? ⭕️ Although it was built on a river, why is it considered a cross-sea bridge? ⭕️ Can two people in love really be together for a lifetime if they walk across the entire Luoyang Bridge together? 【Things to know before you go】 ✅ Luoyang Bridge, originally named Wan'an Bridge. Main builder: Cai Xiang. ✅ Construction time: Construction began in the fifth year of the Huangyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1053) and was completed in the fourth year of the Jiayou period (1059). ✅ Historical status: It is one of the "Four Famous Ancient Bridges in China" along with Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei Province, Lugou Bridge in Beijing, and Guangji Bridge in Chaozhou. ❤️ Bridge construction feature: Oyster planting and foundation stabilization method. Oysters have a strong adhesion ability and secrete a special substance during their growth that can bond surrounding stones, gravel, and other materials together, forming a substance similar to "biological concrete," which increases the bearing capacity of the foundation and reduces the risk of erosion. At the same time, oysters reproduce quickly and can reproduce in large numbers in a short period of time, bonding the bridge foundation and piers into a whole. 👏👏👏 I am truly impressed by the architectural wisdom of the ancients! 🌀 Luoyang Bridge [Decryption and Introduction] ①🔸 The mystery of the name: Why is there a "Luoyang Bridge" in Quanzhou❓ When you first hear "Luoyang Bridge," you may be puzzled. Luoyang in Henan and Quanzhou in Fujian are thousands of miles apart, so where does this name come from? It is said that at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains were in turmoil, and a large number of aristocratic families migrated south to avoid the war. When they arrived at the riverbank in Quanzhou, the mountains and rivers in front of them were somewhat similar to their hometown of Luoyang. To relieve their homesickness, they named the river Luoyang River, and the bridge over the river became "Luoyang Bridge." ②🔸 A river and a bridge's name can be changed at will❓ But behind this naming is not a simple act of the common people. At that time, many of the aristocratic families who migrated south were from prominent families and had considerable prestige and influence in the local area. They had certain political and economic power and had the right to name places. Moreover, these aristocratic families inherited the culture of the Central Plains, and naming it "Luoyang" was also a way to uphold and pass on their hometown culture. ③🔸 Why is a bridge across a river called a cross-sea bridge❓ Luoyang River is the mother river of Quanzhou, and its estuary is located in Quanzhou Bay, which is part of the Taiwan Strait. From a macro-geographical perspective, the estuary area of Luoyang River that Luoyang Bridge crosses is essentially connected to the sea and can be seen as an extension of the sea, so Luoyang Bridge is considered a cross-sea bridge. Moreover, the estuary of Luoyang River is affected by factors such as tidal fluctuations, complex water flow, and poor geological conditions, making bridge construction as difficult as building a bridge at sea. For example, the rapid and changing water flow here poses a great challenge to the stability of the bridge foundation, similar to the difficulties faced in building a bridge at sea. 🌀【Bridge Introduction】 - North of the bridge: Luoyang Bridge starts from Caixiang Road in the north, with the Zhaohui Temple dedicated to the sea god Tongyuan King, preserving many stone pagodas and four stone generals from the 11th century who were erected to protect the bridge. The boundary stone on the roadside is marked with the word "Huian." - South of the bridge: There is a Caixiang Temple in the south of the bridge, with the famous Song Dynasty stele of Cai Xiang's "Wan'an Bridge Record" inside. On the east side of the bridgehead is the Five-Wheel Pagoda, which presents the elegant charm of Song Dynasty stone carvings. ‼️ Key explanation: During the large-scale protective restoration of the new China from 1993 to 1996, the principle of restoring the old as it was was followed, and Luoyang Bridge was restored to its original appearance. The practical expansion of the Republic of China period in 1932 was removed, and the original large stone blocks and other ancient bridge styles were restored. However, the added stone blocks are modern items. Because the restored bridge is narrow, it is only used as a pedestrian passage and for tourist experience. 🍀【Luoyang Bridge】Related Legends: 1. It is said that when the bridge was built, it was assisted by gods. First, there was "the Dragon Palace delivering the list, seeking help from the sea god," then "Lü Dongbin waving his whisk to help the stones," and finally "the three one-eyed immortals" helping to find fir wood. 2. It is said that couples who walk hand in hand across the entire Luoyang Bridge will grow old together. The Luoyang Bridge, protected by gods, has stood for thousands of years, like the steadfastness of love. Couples stroll on the bridge, praying for a lifetime of companionship and fulfillment.

The ancient city of Quanzhou has not been developed on a large scale and is almost the same as it was 20 years ago. The Hindu stone pillars of Kaiyuan Temple and Tianhou Temple are exquisite. The Ancient Ship Gallery is not open. The Myna and the two Song Dynasty pagodas in Kaiyuan Temple are not to be missed. The Renshou Pagoda and the Liusheng Pagoda (Wanshou Pagoda) in Shishi look similar. You can enter the first floor of the Liusheng Pagoda and walk around the core of the pagoda. The Song Dynasty water lotus incense burner in Qingjing Mosque is placed outside, so you can see it at will. The Tonghuai Guanyue Temple is always shrouded in incense smoke, and you can visit the Ceylon Culture Museum next to it if you have time. Tianhou Temple is very quiet in the early morning, and you can quietly enjoy the Deji Gate Ruins at the entrance. You must also visit the Liusheng Pagoda in Shishi, the Anping Bridge in Jingjiang, and the Luoyang Bridge. My child bought a stone tablet and a tumbler at the West Street Tourist Center. Accommodation: Duplex twin room at Jingyu Bieyuan. The room is on the first floor of an old house. It is not large and has two single beds and a sofa bed. It is very quiet at night. You can reach West Street by walking through a small alley. My child likes it very much and recommended a route for eating, drinking, and playing. I also found the Nanyuan Zongzhengsi Ruins Exhibition Hall in the small alley behind the homestay. Food: I ordered a set meal at Qiaoji Ginger Duck recommended by the homestay: half a ginger duck, beef soup, vegetable rice, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. I ordered a small steak for my child, and the total was CNY 106. It was enough for a family of three, and it tasted good. The noodle paste at Litanjia is delicious. The CNY 4 glutinous rice cakes taste similar at each store, but the freshly made ones are the best. Transportation: Day 1: Taishun - Luoyang Bridge - Quanzhou, check in to the homestay. The parking lot of Luoyang Bridge is far away. There is no entrance fee, only a parking fee. There are many people on the bridge, and some people are swimming in the sea. It feels like a place for residents of the community on the opposite side to take a walk after dinner. You can see the stone pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple and the sunset from the roof of Jingyu Bieyuan. Day 2: Kaiyuan Temple - Confucian Temple - Qingjing Mosque - Guanyue Temple - Tianhou Temple, Deji Gate Ruins. The small white buses in the ancient city look like large golf carts. The fare is CNY 2 each time. There is a bus stop at each scenic spot, so it is convenient to get on and off. The bus stops according to the destination of the first passenger, and other passengers can get off as long as it is on the way. Day 3: Take a small white bus to Tianhou Temple, Qingjing Mosque, and Guanyue Temple to take photos in the early morning. Noon: Liusheng Pagoda in Shishi - Anping Bridge in Jingjiang. Drive to Ruian in the afternoon. I saw the small Quanjun Emperor Palace near Tianhou Temple.

Song and Yuan China, Maritime Silk Road Quanzhou Luoyang Bridge, formerly known as "Wan'an Bridge", is located at the mouth of the Luoyang River, 10 km east of Quanzhou, Fujian Province. The bridge is 834 meters long and 7 meters wide, with 500 stone railings, 28 stone lions, 9 stone pagodas, 46 piers, and 47 bridge holes, all made of granite. Luoyang Bridge was built by Cai Xiang, a calligrapher and governor of Quanzhou during the Northern Song Dynasty, and took six years to complete. Luoyang Bridge is the earliest existing cross-sea beam stone bridge, known as the "First Bridge in China", and is one of the ancient "Four Famous Bridges". Luoyang Bridge should be in Luoyang, Henan, so why is this bridge named "Luoyang Bridge"? It is said that the Yue people originally lived in the Quanzhou area, and during the Yongjia Rebellion at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, many aristocratic families moved south to the vicinity of Quanzhou and found that the scenery around the river was somewhat similar to that of the ancient capital of Luoyang, so they named the river Luoyang River. The construction of Luoyang Bridge was extremely difficult, mainly because the Luoyang River is at the mouth of the sea and is deeply eroded by seawater, so the bridge foundation must be particularly strong to prevent erosion by the tide. Luoyang Bridge has many major achievements in bridge construction technology, the most important of which are the "raft foundation" method, the "oyster planting foundation" method, and the "floating suspension frame" method. The completion of Luoyang Bridge is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese working people and has written a wonderful chapter in the history of bridge development in China. 🌟Main attractions: Luoyang Bridge, Cai Xiang Statue, Moonlight Bodhisattva Pagoda, Stone General, Zhenqiao Pagoda, Wan'an Bridge Stele, Cai Xiang Temple, Luoyang Street, Zhongting Memorial Hall (First Bridge in China), Yibo Temple, and Zhaohui Temple in the north of the bridge. 📍Address: Luoyang River Estuary, at the junction of Qiaonan Village, Luojiang District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, and Luoyang Town, Hui'an County 🚉Transportation: 1️⃣ {Fuzhou-Xiamen Railway Quanzhou Station} Take bus K507 to Luoyang Bridge (Qiaonan) Station, walk 686 meters to reach. 2️⃣ {Fuzhou-Xiamen High-speed Railway Quanzhou South Station} Take bus K604 to Southeast Hospital Station, transfer to bus K701 to Aviation Tourism City Station, walk 1.4 km to reach. 3️⃣ {Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport Station} Take bus K605 to Huaqiao University Station, transfer to bus 19 or Tourism 4 to Luoyang Bridge (Qiaonan) Station, walk 686 meters to reach. 4️⃣ Self-drive or take a taxi 🕙Opening hours: Open all day ⏳Duration: 1-2 hours 🎫Tickets: Free admission
