Enjoying the breeze in Quanzhou: Quanzhou is quite windy in winter, especially at dawn or dusk; however, the winter sun in Quanzhou is also very warm. Although I have been to Quanzhou several times, each time there is a surprise. This time, I watched the sunset at different scenic spots, such as West Street and Luoyang Bridge; what's wonderful is that I was able to watch the sunrise from my hotel room and also eat handmade mung bean cakes, which were delicious!
