Welcome to the Office of the Gods in Quanzhou

Bring your family to Quanzhou for the New Year, and here's a guide for first-timers on where to eat, play, and take photos. 🏨 Accommodation: Stayed in Sanchao Alley near West Street, a 10-minute walk to West Street 🌸 Xuangpu Village Hairpin Flowers: Hairpin flowers cost 40+ for a set of clothes, with a 200 deposit. Sisters who can do their own makeup and don't chase after internet-famous looks can do it themselves; it's fine to take your own photos when traveling with girlfriends. You can also hire a photographer; they know the spots that make for good photos. If it's not the peak season, you can book a photographer with a portfolio in advance. If you can edit photos, you don't need to ask for retouching (because you'll have to wait, just use Meitu Xiu Xiu to edit yourself) 🤡 Puppet Show: A cultural heritage worth experiencing with children. Couldn't get tickets for the New Year, bought overpriced tickets for the 5th row at the seafood market, recommend buying within the first 8 rows for a clear view. The performance was amazing, it changed my perception of puppet shows, and you can take photos with the puppets at the end. 📷 Popular photo spots on West Street: 1️⃣ Carp Sky Terrace Café (consumption required, 20 per person for rooftop photos without consumption, one adult drink can bring one child), go early for photos without queuing, this place has the best view of the Kaiyuan Temple Twin Towers. 2️⃣ Berry Super Crazy Advantages: This rooftop is free, and the drinks are delicious. Disadvantages: Really crowded, first time seeing a rooftop photo spot that requires queuing. 3️⃣ Quanzhou Characters: Navigate to the 85°C West Street store, don't walk past it, just turn left to see the two characters for Quanzhou. The bell tower is just ahead. 🍽️ Food: 1️⃣ Berry Super Crazy: Trustworthy drinks (Oriental Gardenia White is delicious) 2️⃣ Kun Ji Taro Cake·Stone Flower Cake: My goodness, never thought taro cake could be so delicious, crispy on the outside and silky inside. (Order takeout) 3️⃣ Spring Brother Teppanyaki: Heard I must try the ginkgo nuts!!! Crispy, fragrant, chewy, sweet and salty, ah! The barbecue is also delicious! 4️⃣ Xie Ji Four Fruit Ice: The four-fruit soup is delicious no matter which store, but the key is that their fried chicken legs and chicken racks are even tastier than those at barbecue shops. 5️⃣ Dongxing Beef: The food is delicious, but the attitude is very bad. Go for it if you don't mind. 6️⃣ Zhang Lin A Shan Ginger Duck, the perfect combination of ginger flavor and duck, the duck meat is very tender, and the oyster omelette is delicious The above is a brief record of my time in Quanzhou, a city with a profound cultural heritage. I'm ready to listen to a podcast about Quanzhou and visit it again, next time to seriously explore Kaiyuan Temple. See you next time, Quanzhou
