Good Life | Hujian, your accent is a bit strong

Went to Quanzhou, Fujian to drink Hujian~ Here, there is no overly commercialized noise, only the lively atmosphere of Minnan people and the romance of the sea🌊 Perfect for slowing down, quietly feeling the gentle embrace of the ancient city and the sea~ Tread on the mottled marks of the bluestone roads, touch the weathered texture of Ming and Qing dynasty stone walls, this ancient city hidden in Quanzhou Bay is so peaceful!🏯 The ancient city wall where Qi Jiguang once fought against the Japanese pirates winds along the sea. Climb up and you can see the blue sea and sky with scattered fishing boats, the sea breeze carrying a salty and humid scent hits your face. Walking through the alleys of the ancient town, every household’s stone house is arranged neatly, red brick walls with swallowtail ridges, corners covered with lush green vines. Sitting in a seaside teahouse brewing a pot of Tieguanyin tea, watching the waves hit the rocks, listening to locals chatting in Minnan dialect, the slow pace of life instantly drives away all fatigue~ Checklist: ✅ Chongwu Ancient City Wall: Walk on "China’s most intact granite coastal stone city" ✅ Crescent Bay: Walk on the sand and wade in the waves, watch a stunning seaside sunset ✅ Hui'an Women Folk Village: Encounter Hui'an women wearing flower headscarves and short tops with long pants, experience unique folk customs ✅ Ancient Town Old Street: Eat a bowl of misua (thin wheat noodles) and a portion of local bamboo shoot jelly, unlock the authentic Minnan flavors Next time, I’ll make a short trip essentials list for everyone as a reference~ Photo
