Traveling in Quanzhou, the old Nanyang facade is one of the most charming arcade streets in the world

🚃 After coming out of the Tianhou Palace, you enter a road full of historical charm. It can't be said to be very prosperous, but it is indeed the old arcade street of East Asia. The shops along the street stand as usual, full of life and vigor. ————————— Name: Zhongshan Road Historical and Cultural District Address: No. 98, Zhongshan South Road, Licheng District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province Distance from Tianhou Palace (bus station): 47m, about 1 minute walk Open: All day Tickets: Free ————————— 🚃 Walking on such a street with historical features, the sense of the era is overwhelming, the slanting sun casts shadows through the trees, and the hustle and bustle of life is commonplace. I like the sense of history that exudes from the ordinary, and the long-lasting atmosphere of life. If you also like it, why not take a walk on Zhongshan Road, you will fall in love with this place. 🌟 Arcade Old Street I often hear the name 'arcade', and this time I took a good look at this style that combines Chinese and Western elements left over from Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. The historical mottling leaves marks of the years on the red brick walls, simple and full of charm. The old street extends the traces of history indefinitely. It is indeed a world-class intangible cultural heritage. 🌟 Ancient Shops and Alleys Don't look down on this simple old street and those inconspicuous shops; many are heritage shops that you have never known about, especially some snack shops, which will surprise you when you walk in. The winding alleys are worth exploring, and turning a corner will reveal a different scene. 🌟 Sightseeing Along the Way You can walk on this road as soon as you come out of the Tianhou Palace. The road is long, and the scenery along the way is unique. If you can't walk for a long time, a sightseeing car is a good choice. Walking and stopping along the way, with the sunshine, tree shade, old buildings, and alleys, is full of surprises, waiting for you to discover. At the end of Zhongshan Road, there is a pedestrian street district, which is also a great place for taking photos and checking in. 🚃 There is no flowery language here to exaggerate the description, no excessive text to adorn the chapters, what exists are only the traces of history and the memories of people's increasingly daily lives.
