Self-driving tour: I would be sad if anyone missed the treasure 'Min C'

🌱 A Shui and Yang Zi's self-driving tour has now arrived at the historic and cultural city—Quanzhou ☘️ Quanzhou has a long history, existing since the Three Kingdoms period, and during the Song and Yuan dynasties, Quanzhou even became the world's largest port for a time. In 2021, it was directly designated as a 'World Cultural Heritage' site. Quanzhou is also the starting point of the 'Maritime Silk Road' recognized by the United Nations. 🍀 This time, due to the rush, we only stayed for 2 days and 1 night, which is completely insufficient to fully appreciate the beauty and mystery of Quanzhou, but this tip of the iceberg still makes me yearn for more. 1⃣️day: Since we arrived in the afternoon, we went straight to West Street after meeting up with friends. As a microcosm of the ancient city of Quanzhou for a thousand years, West Street is one of the must-visit and must-eat treasure spots. (Parking here is not very convenient, so be sure to navigate directly to the surrounding parking lots) 📍Route: Kaiyuan Temple - West Street - Xiaoxi Cheng - Bell Tower 🍛Cuisine: Four Fruit Soup - Meat Zongzi - Mianxian Hu - Handmade Mochi 🌟Highlights: In the evening, find a coffee shop, and on the rooftop terrace, enjoy the sunset with a few good friends while taking beautiful photos. The relaxation and comfort are truly heartwarming. 1⃣️day night: What I really liked and was even captivated by for a quarter of an hour was the night's itinerary—viewing the night scene of Qingyuan Mountain🌃. The initial shock after walking up the stairs is something I can never forget. The brilliantly lit night view is like a dazzling scroll, and the colorful neon lights add endless charm to this city. Nighttime, from high buildings, the city small, with silver lights like flowing fireflies. The bright lights resemble the moon in the sky, the colors like shining stars. — Excerpt from 'Night Colors of a Small Town' 2⃣️day: Because I had to return to Fuzhou, I reached Hui'an County in the direction of Fuzhou. Originally, I came to visit the Chongwu Ancient City, but I fell in love with the sea here. 📍Route: Chongwu Ancient City - Hui Women Style Park - Xiaoyi Art Museum - Hui'an Windmill Island 🌟Highlights: The city tells of a rich culture, the sea plays the summer romance, the island watches over the vast blue sky, wishing time would slow down. The charm here is hard to capture with a camera, it's more about what enters the heart— ❤️ Having fun is important when you're out and about! Getting good photos is super important! I am Yang Zi, the one who takes you on cloud travels and provides you with travel tips. Life is a long journey, and we are on the road! The journey is long—anyone with additional suggestions or who wants to know about good scenic spots is welcome to leave a message for me!
