I thought Xiamen was already beautiful, until I went to Quanzhou

Bai Yansong's quote 'This is a city you should visit at least once in your lifetime' drove me to take a 10-hour drive to Quanzhou~ - Quanzhou, 'once known as the Buddha's land, where the whole city is full of saints.' The overall architecture is very ancient and closely connected to the sea. There's also the popular mascot of 'Ten Dragons and Nine Offspring' for photo opportunities. - Without further ado, let's get straight to the point. Here's my sincere guide to avoid any pitfalls~ - 👉How to play❓ Quanzhou 3️⃣-day 2️⃣-night travel route: - ✅Day1️⃣ Ancient city citywalk Tianhou Palace - Guan Yue Temple - Qingjing Mosque - Confucian Temple - Goldfish Alley - Flower Alley - Catholic Church - Xiangfeng Alley - West Street - Kaiyuan Temple - Quanzhou Bell Tower - ✅Day2️⃣ Jinjiang & Shishi seaside visit Wudian City Traditional Cultural District - Wulin Cultural Village - Anping Bridge - Shishi Gold Coast - Luojiang Temple (Sunset) - ✅Day3️⃣ Huian flower-seeking trip Chushou Beach - Chongwu Ancient City - Fushi Yin Ground (Instagram-style seascape) - Liupu Village - 👉Where to take photos❓ 📷Must-visit photo spots recommended ✅Quanzhou West Street West Street is the most picturesque place in Quanzhou, with the best views being the Quanzhou poster wall and the twin towers of Kaiyuan Temple. You can go to the Berry Super Crazy rooftop for photos. - ✅Quanzhou Bell Tower This is considered Quanzhou's landmark building, and the pure white landmark adds a fairy tale atmosphere to the city. - ✅Wudian City The place in Jinjiang with the strongest New Year atmosphere, where you can see a lot of folk performances. - ✅Wulin Cultural Village The houses here have a long history, and it's great for taking photos with a Republic of China vibe. - ✅Luojiang Temple A temple visited by Li Xian, built on the sea, a sea-heaven Buddhist land, and a great spot for sunset photos. - ✅Anping Bridge A stone bridge built during the Liang Dynasty, also known as the world's first stone bridge. Take a leisurely walk on it with your loved one. - ✅Fushi Yin Ground It's very much like Jeju Island in South Korea, and it's very Instagram-style for taking photos that turn out to be masterpieces. - ✅Liupu Village 'In this life, I wear flowers, in the next life, I'll be beautiful.' I came here because of this saying, so put on ancient costumes and take a set of atmospheric photos. - 👉How to get there❓ Quanzhou has a high-speed train station, you can get to Quanzhou from various places and then rent a car, or you can drive yourself. Public transportation is not very convenient. - 👉Where to stay❓ For the first day, it is recommended to stay near West Street, and for the second and third days, it is recommended to stay in Jinjiang.
