Itinerary attractions recommended inventory ⭐ Quanzhou Zhongshan Middle Road Night Market Reason for recommending the night market: Authentic and warm!

Address: Zhongshan Middle Road, Leicheng District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province Open: 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m Real insights/itinerary Tips practical supplement This time I stepped into the Zhongshan Middle Road Night Market, the biggest feeling was not only the human touch, but also realized that it is not just food, many handicrafts and temple culture are worth digging into. If you don't have to worry about getting lost when going to the night market, just go straight along the main road. Tip: The night market is crowded, it is recommended to bring a wallet and backpack keep in front, night market food can try a variety of small portions. The night view of the temple is actually very beautiful, and in some places there are free prayer cards or hand-painted guardians that you can take home. Conclusion: Transportation/Food/Tips 🚕Quanzhou travel: It is convenient to take a taxi or Didi in the city, there are several parking lots near the night market (it is recommended to walk easier to experience the whole process). 🍲Food recommendation: Shacha noodles must be tried, you can choose oysters and fish balls, fish ball soup 2 people 1 bowl is not too much, do not be afraid to eat not all. There are authentic old-fashioned bean curd and taro ball shops near the night market. The dessert is the perfect ending! 📍Night safety: There are administrators in the temple, keep valuables well, carry a small amount of cash enough to use. Finally, when visiting Quanzhou, you should try to follow the local customs, chat with locals, and experience the authentic night view.
