Swipe left for Guan Yue Temple lighting ceremony and a super detailed guide to Quanzhou night tour.

Business trip to Fujian, changed flight ticket Strive to spend one day visiting Quanzhou Heartbroken for spending an extra 300 yuan on ticket change fee Came here and regretted not staying longer Quanzhou is so fun to visit! 1⃣️Quanzhou Guan Yue Temple (Figure 1-3) Guan Yue Temple is a very popular temple in Quanzhou. It is said to be very effective. Many devout believers come from afar to visit. During the day, the exquisite architecture of the temple is impressive. Heard that the night view is even more beautiful, so I came to wait for the lights to turn on when it was almost dark. 📍Location: No. 186-189, Tong Huai Guan Yue Temple, Tu Men Street, Licheng District, Quanzhou City ⏰Time: 6:00-20:00 🎫Ticket: Free entry 💡Lights on: 18:00-22:00 (lighting time may vary slightly each day) The moment the lights turned on was truly breathtaking, I couldn't help but exclaim "wow". However, when we went, the lights turned on two minutes early, so we didn't record the moment they turned on. If you want to take a video, be sure to prepare in advance. 2⃣️Quanzhou Clock Tower (Figure 4) The clock tower, with a history of over 100 years, is a landmark of Quanzhou. The fusion of Western and Minnan styles is truly memorable. I don't think you need to visit the clock tower specifically, because you will always pass by it when walking in the ancient city of Quanzhou, and you can always see the clock tower. 3⃣️Quanzhou Xiao Xi Cheng (Figure 5 & 6) When visiting West Street, try to explore some alleys. Figure 5 & 6 are random alleys I explored. I found them quite beautiful, so I took some photos. I also ate grilled seafood in a small shop inside. Looking back at the photos, the lantern reads "Xiao Xi Cheng", which is probably the main road leading to Xiao Xi Cheng. I don't recommend visiting Xiao Xi Cheng, as the lights are too dim at night for taking photos. It's also too commercial and uniform, not as interesting as exploring various alleys. 4⃣️Kaiyuan Temple (Figure 7) When visiting West Street, you will pass by Kaiyuan Temple. The entire Kaiyuan Temple is relatively dark at night. The twin towers are illuminated by spotlights at night, creating a unique atmosphere in photos. You don't need to walk close to Kaiyuan Temple to see the twin towers. You can always see them from the ancient city, and of course, there are many beautiful photo spots. 4⃣️Tourist Center (Figure 8-10) I heard from a passerby that there is a rooftop at the West Street Tourist Center. I accidentally went up to the rooftop and found a great photo spot. You can overlook the night view of West Street and take a photo with Zhen Guo Tower. It's free. A little regret is that I didn't bring a light at night, it was too dark to take portraits. It must be great to take photos of people here during the day. 5⃣️Various creative shops (Figure 11-14) There is a creative shop on the first floor of the Tourist Center. I don't remember the name of the shop in Figure 11-14. It's a large space, great for taking photos. Quanzhou's creative shops are really fun to visit. Among all the places I've been, Quanzhou has the most diverse and numerous creative shops. I was dazzled by the choices and couldn't help but buy a lot of things to take home.
