A trip to Quanzhou, the charm of the ancient city

✨Historically profound, infinitely charming✨ First, we arrived at Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, and were attracted by its historical depth as soon as we entered. This temple, which was built in the early Tang Dynasty, is the largest temple in Fujian, preserving historical buildings from the Tang and Song Dynasties, including the East and West Towers. Standing here, it seems as if you can hear the echoes of history. 🌈Old street style, all in sight🌈 Then, we strolled on West Street, the most intact ancient street in Quanzhou city. Along the way, we saw a large number of buildings with historical original appearance, as if we had traveled back to ancient times. The main road is now a pedestrian street, and the dazzling array of snacks and delicacies is even more unforgettable. Xiangfeng Lane, located behind the East Tower of Kaiyuan Temple, has a strong local life atmosphere, feeling the ordinary and comfortable life of the locals. 💫Wishing heaven, experiencing folk culture💫 Finally, we arrived at Xiaoxi Cheng, a small market full of wishing cards. Bai Yansong's words are on the wall here, which is deeply touching. In the end, we came to Youli Coffee Shop, and the rooftop is the classic net red shooting spot for the Twin Towers. But you have to consume in the store to go to the rooftop, but the coffee and environment here are really worth a visit. ✨Experience sharing✨ The trip to Quanzhou made me deeply feel the charm of the ancient city. Not only does it have a deep historical background, but also a rich folk culture. Most importantly, the snacks and coffee here are really unforgettable. If you also come to Quanzhou, why not take this trip, I believe you will have different gains.
