A Two-Day, One-Night Itinerary for Quanzhou |

| 。Day 1: Travel Through a Millennium and Explore the World Heritage Old Town Route: Kaiyuan Temple → West Street → Zhonglou → Zhongshan Road → Quanzhou Confucian Temple → Qingjing Mosque → Guandi Temple → Tianhou Temple 🌞 Morning: Kaiyuan Temple and the Bustling West Street · Kaiyuan Temple: A landmark of Quanzhou. The East and West Pagodas in this thousand-year-old temple are must-sees! We recommend taking panoramic photos of the twin pagodas from Xiangfeng Alley to experience the artistic conception of "half city bustle, half city ethereal." · Strolling and Eating on West Street: From Yafu Runbing thin pancakes to Wu's Machi and Grandma Hou's roasted meat dumplings…eat your way through Minnan snacks! Don't forget to visit the "Berry Crazy" rooftop or the top floor of the West Street Tourist Service Center for a panoramic view of the old town. 🌇 Afternoon: A Blend of Old Town Culture and Faith · Quanzhou Confucian Temple: The largest Confucian temple complex in Southeast China, the ancient charm of the Spring Festival Gala branch venue still lingers. · Qingjing Mosque & Guandi Temple: The Islamic mosque and Buddhist temple, separated by a single wall, bear witness to Quanzhou's embrace of diverse cultures. · Tianhou Temple: The oldest existing Mazu temple in China, with exquisite porcelain mosaic carvings on the roof. 🌙 Evening: Stay Overnight in the Old Town and Embrace the Slow Pace of Life Staying in a homestay or hotel near West Street is convenient for evening outings and food hunting. Stroll with friends through the alleys around Zhonglou, and when tired, find a small shop for a foot massage and shoulder rub to relieve the day's fatigue. Day 2: Zan Hua Hairpin Experience, Get Zhao Liying's Same Zan Hua Style🌸 Route: Hotel → Xunpu Village → High-Speed Rail Station 🌄 Morning: A Zan Hua Hairpin Shop in Xunpu Village: Makeup, choose clothes, try on hairpins, and take photos📸 A Small Restaurant in Xunpu Village: Have lunch (oyster omelet, noodles) 🎭 Afternoon: Free Photo Shoot in Hanfu Various Alleys in Xunpu Village: Snap, snap, snap! Free Photo Shoot in the Zan Hua Hairpin Shop: Snap away!

The dynamic displays are amazing. Marionette Show: We recommend watching "Ancient Arts, New Forms, Living Puppets" at the Quanzhou Puppet Theater to experience the charm of this "living fossil." 🍜 Food List: Quanzhou Must-Eats Breakfast: Mien Xian Hu (a slightly thick and light noodle soup. It's palatable for Cantonese people, and worth a try, haha, mainly to savor the flavor). Lunch: Ginger Duck, Satay Noodles, Quanzhou Meat Dumplings. Snacks: Oyster Omelet, Sand Worm Jelly, Fish Balls. Desserts: Four Fruit Soup, Man Jian Gao (stuffed pancake), Cu Rou (sweet and sour pork). --- 🚗 Transportation & Accommodation Tips Transportation: Take the "Xiao Bai Che" (small white cars) within the old town (¥2/person, flag down anywhere), and use shared electric bikes for short distances. Accommodation: Choose near West Street/Zhongshan Road for convenient walking tours. Zan Hua Hairpin Experience: It's hard to go wrong. We recommend finding a makeup artist and photographer in advance. Quanzhou, a city whose history is written in stone and whose life is told through the bustle of daily life. Two days and one night is enough for you to fall in love with its ancient charm and vibrancy! 📸 Original content, reposting requires authorization|
