Choose this place for your accommodation during the May Day holiday in Quanzhou! Explore the surrounding attractions on foot

My babies! When traveling to Quanzhou, you must lock in Huazhu Quanzhou Liyu Pushe B&B (West Street Kaiyuan Temple Branch)! From the location to the experience, there is nothing wrong with it. There are also super healing surprise easter eggs. Everyone who has stayed here is crazy about it. It can be called the "hexagonal warrior" in the travel accommodation industry! The homestay is hidden at No. 16, Chengtian Lane Gouwei, Licheng District, which is the C position of the ancient city. As soon as you enter the door, you will be attracted by the Minnan mixed Zen style, red bricks and gray walls with gray curtains and white gauze, and the strong Minnan charm is overwhelming, as if you traveled back to the old times in a second. Each floor is equipped with a large public leisure area, a quiet and elegant study room, and a fragrant tea room. It is perfect whether you want to read quietly or have a cup of tea and chat with friends. The room types are even more diverse, with a large bathtub for relaxation, a private garden for a full sense of atmosphere, and a projection device for super cool movie watching. The bedding is the same as that of high-end hotels, soft and skin-friendly, and the bathroom is divided into dry and wet areas. The details are thoughtful🛏 Here comes the point! The B&B has a Samoyed named Wangcai 🐕 It is the "popular star" here! With its gentle and friendly personality, fluffy and soft fur, and wagging its big furry tail, it warmly welcomes every guest. Take photos and interact with it, and you will get healing moments in every minute. Dog lovers will fall in love with it! With Wangcai's company, the journey becomes warmer and more interesting~ The attractions around the B&B are a great combination. You can easily check them out on foot, saving a lot of transportation time and energy! Chengtian Temple (221 meters): This thousand-year-old temple is known as one of the "three major temples" in Quanzhou, along with Chongfu Temple and Kaiyuan Temple. Once you step into the temple gate, the hustle and bustle is instantly cut off, leaving only peace and tranquility. The temple's landscapes of "spotless", "fragrant plum blossoms and rocks", and "gentle breeze among leaning pines" are full of poetry and Zen. Precious cultural relics and historical sites such as the bronze Amitabha Buddha from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the stone sutra pillar from the Northern Song Dynasty, and the bronze Guanyin Bodhisattva from the Ming Dynasty quietly tell the story of the years, making people immersed in the sedimentation of history. Fuwenmiao Temple (549 meters): One of the largest and best-preserved Confucian temple complexes in the southeast region, with red walls, green tiles, and flying eaves and pointed corners, it exudes solemnity. Wandering through it, you can deeply appreciate Quanzhou’s profound cultural and educational heritage and feel the ancient people’s respect for knowledge and culture. During important festivals, various cultural activities are held here, which is very lively and allows you to experience the charm of traditional culture up close. Bell Tower (592 meters): A landmark building in Quanzhou, it combines southern Fujian and Western architectural elements and has a unique and eye-catching shape. During the day, against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the bell tower is solemn and elegant; at night, when the lights come on, the lights outline its shape, adding a touch of romance and fantasy to the ancient city. Standing under the clock tower, watching the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, you can feel the beating pulse of the city. Qingjing Ancient Mosque (883 meters): One of the oldest existing Islamic mosques in my country, its exotic architectural style is eye-catching. The Arabic stone carvings and granite buildings in the temple bear witness to Quanzhou's prosperity as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and its glorious history of the blending of diverse cultures. Walking into here, it feels like traveling back to the distant ancient Arab world, full of mystery. Tonghuai Guanyu Temple (about 1 km): One of the most popular temples in Quanzhou, Guan Yu and Yue Fei are enshrined in the temple, and many believers come to pray and draw lots every day. The square in front of the temple is filled with smoke and is bustling with activity. Here you can feel the Quanzhou people's devotion to their faith and the vigorous vitality of traditional culture among the people. Kaiyuan Temple (1.2 km): The most famous tourist attraction in Quanzhou, the red-walled and yellow-tiled buildings are magnificent. The East and West Towers have stood firm for thousands of years and are the iconic symbols of Kaiyuan Temple. The temple is home to towering ancient banyan trees and a bustling incense market. The exquisite stone carvings, wood carvings and Buddha statues are breathtaking. Every detail is worth savoring to experience the fusion of history and art. West Street (1.2 km): Quanzhou’s most representative ancient street, full of the flavor of life. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the aroma of special snacks is everywhere. There are soft, glutinous and fragrant rice dumplings, smooth and stomach-warming rice noodle soup, fried vinegar meat that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and a wide variety of southern Fujian handicrafts. Here, you can eat and shop at the same time, feel the wonderful collision of ancient and modern times, and experience the most authentic Quanzhou life. Come to Quanzhou and stay here to solve your accommodation, entertainment and dog-peting needs in one stop! Whether you want to explore cultural relics or check in for delicious food, you can easily get what you want. My dears, please save this treasure homestay. You will be so disappointed if you miss it😭
