Wear a hairpin and live a happy life | Go to Quanzhou Haopu Village and become a Haopu girl

Do you know who the three great fisherwomen of Fujian are? They are Hui'an women, Meizhou women and Haopu women. When I was traveling in Quanzhou, I went to experience the dress of the Oyster Girl. Wearing their traditional costumes, with unique buns and exquisite hairpins. She became a girl from Haopu In fact, the headdress of the Haopu women, which includes "flower wreaths and ivory chopsticks", has been passed down from Central Asia since the Song Dynasty. As we approached the village, we saw more tourists wearing hairpins. A few local people dress like this. The biggest feature of the village is the oyster shell house, which is a house built with discarded oyster shells. Although most of the houses in the village are newly built small buildings But we can also find some preserved oyster shell houses Haopu is an important port at the starting point of the Quanzhou Maritime Silk Road Local fishermen turn oyster shells brought back by merchant ships into treasure A characteristic building with oyster shells as the main body was built. In Minnan dialect, "cuo" means house, and "hao" means oyster, which means oyster house. Walking in the alley, looking at the vicissitudes of the old house You can touch the walls made of beautiful, hard oyster shells. For the first time, I deeply felt the folk customs here 📷Photography tips: In addition to traditional costumes, you can also wear horse-faced skirts ·Basically, it’s 40 yuan per set, including the hairpin, but the styling is relatively rough. You can ask for 1 prop and take photos by yourself. There are not many places to take photos, such as the oyster wall or the beach outside the village. Search for pictures online, many of which can be photographed in the same style 🌈Travel tips: · Location: Ou Po Village, self-driving 🚗 Direct navigation or Didi can be used ·🚌Take bus No. K301 in Quanzhou and get off at Haopu Vegetable Market Station (also known as Haopu Vegetable Market). The entrance to the village is just across the road from the bus station. As more and more people come here, although it is not commercial, there are many shops for travel photography. The village is small, so it only takes about 2 hours to take photos and play. Quanzhou is really hot in summer, so be careful to protect yourself from the sun and mosquitoes.
