Fireworks Dance with the Gods | The romance of Quanzhou is both traditional and free

| The romance of Quanzhou is both traditional and free. People say about Quanzhou: half the city is fireworks, half the city is fairy - Only when you come to Quanzhou can you deeply appreciate the beauty and ingenuity of this sentence. This trip to Quanzhou, the shock and surprise I felt were quite big, let me simply sort out the itinerary~ - 【Romantic Ancient City | Temple on the Sea, Quanzhou has Carp】 Luojia Temple: A temple on the sea, about 40-50min away from Quanzhou city center, many people have written about it, so I won't repeat it. Jinshang Bay Bridge: After visiting Luojia Temple, it's a place you really should pass by. It's on the way back from Luojia Temple to Quanzhou city center. You will pass by Jinshang Bay Bridge, where you can see a quite large colorful building. You can walk down to the beach opposite, there is a big ship, taking pictures is beautiful and comfortable (Figures 1, 2, 6) Quanzhou Ancient City: Just for taking pictures and checking in, girls wear flowers, avoid the main road, walk into some alleys and you will meet quite a few nice local people. Generally from Tumen Street→Chengtian Zen Temple→Bell Tower→West Street... There are quite a few photo check-in points in the ancient city. - 【Temple Prayers | People come and go, incense is abundant】 Guanyue Temple: Local friends say this temple is quite spiritual, so we went here first when we landed haha. Kaiyuan Temple: Kaiyuan Temple is quite large and there are many visitors. We even encountered the annual Buddha's Day yesterday, the scene was huge, crowded with people, very spectacular! Chengtian Zen Temple: A relatively quiet environment, the pagodas and Buddha statues inside have a long history, not many people take pictures here. The above are the three that most people visit. When you are freely wandering in the ancient city, you can also occasionally see temples of different sizes, so the four words 'people come and go' really aptly describe Quanzhou. Praying is a daily routine here, people's faith gives this place a strong scent of incense. - 【Old-fashioned Flavors | Half the city is fireworks, food is flavorful】 Cithorn Kafe: In the small alley next to Kaiyuan Temple, a quiet courtyard in the hustle and bustle, you can see the pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple, and also the World Heritage Exhibition Hall, bask in the sun and rest your feet, hand-brewed single product is serious about making coffee, not the kind of scenic area coffee machine is quite good. A Ling Peanut Soup: Paired with fried dough sticks, it's so good Jiaxiang Ginger Duck: We ate at the one opposite Chengtian Temple, the taste is good, it's diagonally opposite A Ling Peanut Soup. Tiancuo Beef Restaurant: So fresh, so flavorful Jiuliu Seafood Restaurant: The crab and the oyster tofu soup are good (a bit expensive here) Noodle Paste: You can choose to add different ingredients, also good - Other casual mentions 1, We stayed next to Ling Show World, it's quite convenient here, there are local food and bar street nearby. 2, The environment of the local Shuhua gym is good, we even took the time to work out (single pass) 3, The ancient city is quite large, if you can't walk, you can take the shuttle bus, otherwise it's really tiring 4, It's really hard to park in the ancient city, park the car a bit further and walk in haha - A few days in the small city, the romantic and free Quanzhou, seen by more and more people...
