How can you not take a trip to Quanzhou? Highly cost-effective route recommendation

If you only have 2 days, I recommend you to visit this old city, a World Cultural Heritage site. It is a city of faith, half shrouded in mist and rain, half celestial, and it is a treasure of a small city that I still want to travel to. 👍Highly recommended 2-day and 1-night itinerary DAY1: Quanzhou Station·Chengtian Temple·Bell Tower·Kaiyuan Temple·Xiangfeng Alley·West Street DAY2: Guanyue Temple·Qingjing Mosque·Confucian Temple·Zhongshan Street·Return trip Transportation in Quanzhou Airplane✈️: Quanzhou has Jinjiang International Airport, with airport buses available from the airport.

Peanut Soup: Delicious and soft peanut soup, sweet and tasty. Auntie's Chicken Ribs: Salty and sweet flavor, I can't stop nibbling on them. When strolling in the old city district of Quanzhou, shared electric scooters or bicycles are recommended to experience the city. The distance between attractions is only one or two kilometers, and it's not far. The old city has narrow roads and parking is inconvenient, so the main mode of transportation for locals is electric scooters. If you can't ride, you can also choose the unique bus in the old city area, 'Little White Appointment' through the WeChat mini-program. Just search, 2 yuan per person! Just enter the destination, place the order, and the driver will automatically contact you.
