The first time I came to Quanzhou, I was completely overwhelmed

My dears, the first time I set foot on the land of Quanzhou, I fell deeply in love with this city. If time is limited, just take this classic West Street + Worship route, you will definitely avoid any mishaps! 🌞Morning: Start the day full of energy along Kaiyuan Temple - Xiangfeng Road - West Street - Bell Tower - Zhongshan Road. 📸Must-visit photo booths: Kaiyuan Temple: You can take photos of the same red walls as the Forbidden City, as well as the same scenes as "Black Myth: Wukong", and you can create blockbuster movies in minutes. Xiangfeng Lane opposite Kaiyuan Temple: full of literary and artistic atmosphere, any photo taken here will be very impressive. The rooftop of Meichaofengxiangxiang store: great view, don’t miss it. Overlord Tea Princess Rooftop: If you want to take photos, you have to go to the third floor of Meichaochuang. Mei Chaofeng: From the attic window on the third floor, the East and West Towers are in a beautiful frame; the photos of the East and West Towers from the terrace on the second floor are also great; the terrace on the third floor is not to be missed. Quanzhou poster: The Quanzhou Cinema and Theater next to the bell tower is very commemorative. Bell Tower: A landmark of Quanzhou, a must-take photo. Quanzhou calendar poster next to Xiaoli Car Rental: unique and interesting. 🌆Afternoon: Officially start the worship🙏 route, Quanzhou is "half city is fireworks and half city is fairy", with many temples. Recommended route: Kaiyuan Temple - Yuanmiao Temple - Confucian Temple - Qingjing Ancient Temple - Guanyu Temple - Tianhou Temple. 🔔 Friendly reminder: Dress appropriately when entering a temple, do not expose yourself, take off your hat and sunglasses, do not wear slippers, and be respectful. Most temples stop admittance around 5pm, so plan your time accordingly. Most temples are free to visit and no reservation is required. The ticket price for Qingjing Mosque is 3 yuan per person. "Little White Cars" are the main form of transportation in Quanzhou Ancient City. There are no fixed stops and they will stop when you wave. First ask the driver whether he wants to go to your destination. It's 2 yuan per person each time, and you can pay in cash (no change) or through Alipay - Travel - Scan the QR code to pay. The WeChat mini program "Xiaobai Yuzu" can also book a car, which is super convenient. The check-in spots in Quanzhou are close to each other. It is strongly recommended to rent an electric car 🛵 to check in freely, after all, traffic jams are too common. Be sure to look up more often in Quanzhou. The carvings on the temples are exquisite and every detail is worth appreciating. My dears, come to Quanzhou and experience its unique charm. I believe you will fall in love with it!
