Dear friends! Here's a comprehensive guide for a four-day tour of Fuzhou, Pingtan, and Quanzhou, with a strong focus on ancient towns and villages! These practical tips will help you navigate the river of history and enjoy every step of the way! -- 🎉Itinerary: Day 1: Pingtan Island 💫Amidst the hustle and bustle of the world, a tranquil haven awaits you in Fuzhou—Pingtan Island. Our 24-hour pick-up/airport transfer service will ensure your smooth arrival in Pingtan. After checking into your chosen hotel, feel free to explore at your own pace. Perhaps you'll even encounter the mesmerizing blue tears at night. Day 2: Pingtan Island->Beigang Village->Xianrenjing (Fairy Well) 🌞Awakened by the island's morning glow, we'll journey to Beigang Village, immersing ourselves in the beauty of the countryside. Our final destination is Xianrenjing (Fairy Well), where the awe of the rural landscape will resonate deep within. Day 3: Quanzhou Shaolin Temple->Xunpu Village->Quanzhou Hairpin Experience->Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple->West Street->Guandi Temple 🚋A full day of exploring Quanzhou, from the fragrant temples to the rustic villages, will leave us captivated. A particularly noteworthy experience is the unique emotional journey of the hairpin experience. Day 4: Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village->Luogasi Temple->Shishi Golden Coast 🍂On our final day, we'll wander through the traditional village of Jinjiang Wulin and visit Luogasi Temple. Our journey concludes beautifully with a stroll along the Shishi Golden Coast, where fragrant breezes and the rhythmic sound of waves greet us. -- Essential Travel Tips: 1️⃣ For airport transportation, Fuzhou has two airports, and it's more convenient to choose the closer one✈️. Upon arrival, the subway is a convenient and efficient option🚇. 2️⃣ Fuzhou also has a well-developed ride-hailing service, available 24/7🚗. Note that waiting times may be longer during peak hours. 3️⃣ For Pingtan Island, book ferry tickets in advance🛥️, and avoid holidays or weekends to ensure a smooth trip. 4️⃣ Don't miss the culinary delights of Fuzhou, Pingtan, and Quanzhou, especially Pingtan seafood, Fuzhou fish balls, and Quanzhou beef soup🍲. 5️⃣ When taking photos in libraries, museums, and similar venues, respect local regulations. Some places prohibit flash photography📸. 6️⃣ In Fujian, especially Quanzhou, Minnan dialect is commonly used, but Mandarin is also spoken, so communication won't be a problem👏. -- So there you have it, my leisurely Fujian journey through Fuzhou, Pingtan, and Quanzhou, filled with delicious food and exciting adventures. The most beautiful scenery is always at the next stop.👣👋
