Hall Thing (Licheng)

As a tourist, you probably won't be able to find this place, it's very hidden, but once you walk in, you'll be amazed. The white Minnan double fried is crispy and delicious. My friend especially likes this dish and says it's better than the other restaurants he's eaten before.

The place is very hidden and not on any rankings. I was brought here by a friend who is a native of Quanzhou. The boiled shrimp is very fresh and the sauce is just right. The fermented bean curd pork feet is a bit heavy, and the thick layer of oil at the end is a bit scary. The three dishes are all fried food, which is too oily. The crispy pork is really delicious, but the other two are too hard to eat. The earthworm jelly is my favorite Fujian dish, and it must be cleaned. The seafood noodles are super super large! Be careful if there are less than four people, you will definitely not be able to finish it! ! The fried clam is average. It is windy in the lobby at night and a bit cold.

Afternoon: Bell Tower → Zhongshan Road Arcade (Stroll, Stop and Go) Snap a photo at the base of the bell tower, take shelter from the sun in the arcade corridor, and when you're tired, sit on the steps and watch the world pass by. Evening: Guanyu Temple → Qingjing Mosque (Short Stroll) Pray for peace of mind at Guanyu Temple, snap some exotic photos at Jingjing Mosque, and then leave. Food List Stan Ginger Duck (West Street Branch): Freshly cut ginger duck, served with rice, so fragrant you'll stomp your feet. Haoting / Quanzhou Cuisine / Minnan Bistro: Order the cuttlefish stewed rice and the shacha seafood pot with large fried dough sticks – absolutely delicious.

Guide to Avoid: Don't buy the overpriced cultural and creative items at the West Street entrance; the same items are half price further inside. Beware of touts at seafood stalls; prices are inflated. Don't wear black on sunny days while strolling around West Street; the arcades are incredibly hot. Avoid visiting popular restaurants during meal times, or you'll have lines of at least an hour. #Where to Go Summer Vacation #Quanzhou Travel Guide #Quanzhou Food

The first meal after landing in Quanzhou was arranged by a local friend in the old town. As soon as we entered the door, we were served with a good tune! ! The restaurant is not big, but it exudes warmth everywhere. Not to mention the crowd, there are so many people that you have to queue up! ! This restaurant has a Michelin label, which is more or less worth looking forward to. Haoting Ginger Duck I don’t eat duck or ginger, and I was ready to give up after hearing the name of ginger duck, but as a Quanzhou specialty, I tried it with an attitude of listening to advice, and I didn’t expect it to be so delicious! ! I ordered another one! ! In particular, I must remind the kitchen to make it a little drier, so it will be more fragrant. Our first one was very good, and the second one was a little steamy. Fortunately, the chef took it back and heated it up, and it became delicious again! ! Pepper and Spicy Boiled Dragonfish Dragonfish, a type of grouper, is usually eaten steamed, and it has a unique flavor when made into golden soup. Seafood First Water Seaweed Pot This seaweed pot is also much more delicious than I expected. I personally think it is very unique, tender, and fresh. Pork Rib Soup with Snails and Bamboo Fungus The pork rib soup is very fresh, and the addition of snails makes it sweeter, and the bamboo fungus adds a bit of taste! ! Although Quanzhou is also a city of Haikou, the flavors and methods of the dishes are diverse, and even friends with heavy tastes can eat all kinds of delicious food in Quanzhou! ! #Quanzhou Travel Guide #Quanzhou Store Exploration #Quanzhou Tourism #Quanzhou Travel Guide #Quanzhou Food #Quanzhou Food Recommendation #Quanzhou Food See Here #Quanzhou Travel Guide #Local Food #Try the Authentic Old Brand #Scenic Restaurant
