Quanzhou five-day tour

Tips: I went there after the Spring Festival holiday and missed the most crowded time. It is said that there are too many people and it is difficult to get a taxi during the Spring Festival holiday because the online taxis have all gone back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. Generally speaking, Quanzhou's attractions are not big, but they are scattered. The means of transportation can be a combination of taxis, shared bicycles and shared electric vehicles... Of course, you need to check the location of the return point in advance. The first hour of shared bicycles is free, so if the weather is good, a distance of two or three kilometers is very suitable, and you can also see the city street view while riding a bike. The scenery of Qingyuan Mountain is quite good, and it is said to be the only 5A scenic spot in Quanzhou. If you exercise regularly, you can walk. I walked for more than two hours. However, there is no route connecting all the attractions. Unless you don’t mind the trouble of running back and forth, you have to make some choices. After the tour, you can take the scenic bus down the mountain, which is more labor-saving. If you drive yourself, there is also a self-driving tour route up the mountain. You can drive up after buying a ticket, but you won’t be able to see some attractions. Here is some common sense about sports. Many people think that it is easier to go up the mountain by car and walk down the mountain. However, as long as you have the right posture when going up the mountain, you can exercise your heart, lungs, buttocks and legs. If your buttocks and thighs are sore the next day after climbing, congratulations, you are one step closer to having a perky butt. These are all positive for the body, but going down the mountain has no other use except to destroy your knees, and the knee joint is a consumable, and its damage is irreversible. Back to the topic, it is recommended to go to Chongwu Ancient City in the afternoon to watch the sunset at the seaside. If you don’t want to spend the ticket money, you can just walk around the living area of ​​the ancient city. It is very primitive inside, and the aborigines still live here. The lively places are very lively, and there are many abandoned house ruins on the edge. If you want to watch the sunset on the city wall, it took me more than 40 minutes to walk around the city wall while watching the scenery and taking pictures. Enter from the water gate of Haichao Temple, which is a very small doorway. You can see the small staircase to the city wall as soon as you enter the door. You can calculate and arrange it according to the sunset time of the day. Before going to Luoyang Bridge, remember to check whether there is water. During the dry season, there is mud under the bridge, but you can see the boat-shaped bridge piers. There are no other attractions around. It is up to you to decide whether you are willing to make the trip. It is impossible to walk across the entire Anping Bridge because it collapsed in the middle and was divided into two sections. However, there are bicycles for rent in the park for 15 yuan per hour. You can rent one and ride along the road next to it to the other end and then go up the bridge to tour. One hour is enough. Luojia Temple and Guanyin Mountain are also in relatively remote places. Luojia Temple is very small and is built on the water so you can see the sea. Guanyin Mountain is actually a large reef next to it that you can climb up. Next to it is a fishing village with a boat harbor. The place I stayed the longest in Wudian City was a tea set shop. Everything looked good, but I didn’t buy any😅 I feel like you can tell which shop is the richest by how busy the beams are🤔 I also met a lion dance boy✌, well, he was very energetic! The difference between Wulin and Wudianshi is that Wulin is located in a larger scale and has a different architectural style, but overall it is also a place for taking photos. However, it was cloudy these two days, and without the blue sky and white clouds, the photo effect must have been greatly reduced. Fortunately, I didn’t come here to take pictures🤪 When checking in at Mani Thatched Hut, I climbed a small hill and observed a small Qing Dynasty fortress on the hill that was not on the navigation. Mainly because I found out that the full name of this place is Caoan Manichaeism Relics Park when I arrived. There is a reason why it is called a ruins😆But I thought that since I was here, I couldn’t take a taxi for half an hour and visit for five minutes... So I climbed up the Huabiao Mountain behind Caoan. After all, the stone steps were built for people to walk😅After walking for a while, I met a young man who asked me for directions. Then I knew there was such a fortress on the top of the mountain. I Baidu and found that the altitude was 250. I looked at the time and it was still in time, so I took it as aerobic exercise and felt a little bit of adventure by the way (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) In terms of food, I am average in eating. I like to eat delicious food but I won’t go to great lengths just to eat that kind of food. I went to eat Stan Ginger Duck, which suits my taste. I found a random shop on the roadside and tried the noodle soup and four-fruit soup, which were also good. I was a little uncomfortable with the earthworm jelly, so I didn’t go to eat other things on purpose. Ah, there is also a peanut milk egg, which is made in a similar way to eggnog. The eggs are cooked with hot liquid. Drinking a bowl of it in the morning is very healing. One more thing: If you want to see a puppet show, you must book your tickets several days in advance. I bought them three days in advance, but I could only buy tickets for the very back row. I could still watch it, but I definitely couldn't see the view clearly as the people in the front row. 🚗🚗🚗Travel route: Day1: West Street→Quanzhou Zhongshan Street Day2: West Lake Park→Quanzhou Museum→Luoyang Bridge Day3: Quanzhou Shaolin Temple→Qingyuan Mountain→Chongwu Ancient City Scenic Area Day4: Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple→Quanzhou Tianhou Palace→Luojia Temple→Guanyin Mountain→Yongning Ancient Town→Anping Bridge→Qingjing Temple→Chengtian Temple→Quanzhou Puppet Theater Day5: Wudianshi Traditional Street→Cao'an Temple→Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village
