Hello, Quanzhou; Hello, West Street!

Quanzhou, Fujian: Half of the city is mountains and water, and half of the city is fairyland. It is a small city full of warmth and fireworks. You can wear flowers in your hair here. There are red brick houses in Lingnan style everywhere. There are hardworking and simple people here. You can really visit the ancient and quiet Kaiyuan Temple in one day; pay homage to Confucius in Quanzhou Confucian Temple, which is also the largest existing Confucian Temple in southeast my country; pay homage to Guan Shengren in the popular Quanzhou Guan Gong Temple, listen to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the voice of Quanzhou; at Qingjing Mosque, one of the oldest existing Islamic mosques in China, learn about the multicultural integration of Quanzhou as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road; at Quanzhou Tianhou Temple, experience the culture and beliefs of Mazu, where half of the city is bustling with fireworks and half of the city is filled with fairies. West Street is so lively. It's so relaxing to go out for a stroll at night with the breeze blowing on your face. Let's eat, drink, and have fun [Grin]...

🌏 Just got back from exploring the coastal magic of Fujian! 🇨🇳 Still soaking it all in — the history, the food, the ocean breeze. I wandered through Quanzhou, got lost in the green heart of Fujian’s countryside, and wrapped it all up in the laid-back beauty of Xiamen. Honestly? It felt like stepping into a living postcard. ✨💛 🏮 QUANZHOU – Where the past still breathes This ancient port city has such a soulful vibe. 💫 Kaiyuan Temple stole my heart — peaceful, majestic, and full of stories. 🍢 I tried all kinds of local snacks at the old town market (some I couldn’t even name, but SO good). 🚴♀️ Rented a bike and explored little alleyways and seaside paths — it felt like time slowed down. 🏞️ FUJIAN – Nature, culture, calm Rolling mountains, misty air, and homes that look like they came out of a fairy tale. 🏯 Visited a Hakka Tulou — giant, circular earthen homes with so much community spirit. ♨️ After a long hike, I found a hot spring tucked away in the hills. That soak? Pure magic. 🌊 XIAMEN – Where modern meets mellow My favorite part? The relaxed island energy. 🏝️ Gulangyu Island felt like a dream — no cars, just art, music, and sea breeze. 🌅 Huandao Road gave me the most breathtaking sunset ride. 🍜 Pro tip: Peanut soup and oyster omelette from the night market = tastebud bliss! 🧳 Some real talk travel tips: ✔️ Alipay & WeChat Pay make life easy — cash is rare here! ☔ The weather flips fast — pack light, but always carry an umbrella. 🗣️ Learn a few phrases in Mandarin — it goes a long way. The locals were so kind and welcoming! Still smiling from this journey — can’t wait for the next one. 💕 If you ever get a chance to visit this part of China, say yes. You’ll leave with a full heart and a full camera roll. 📸 Share the wanderlust: #WanderWithMe #CoastalChinaChronicles #QuanzhouMagic #FujianAdventures #XiamenVibes #HiddenGemChina #SoulfulJourneys #TulouTales #GulangyuDreams #TravelWithHeart #Travel #SlowTravelMagic #BackpackToBalance #TalesOfTheEast #TravelUnfiltered
