Food Recommendations: 1⃣️【Liqin Douhua】 Douhua with vermicelli 🍲 only available in Zhangzhou. Not a trendy shop, mostly locals. One bowl of douhua vermicelli + one serving of fried meat. 2⃣️【Afang Braised Noodles】 Zhangzhou locals eat Afang Braised Noodles but avoid the one in the ancient city (beware of impostors 🗡️). This Afang Braised Noodles on Xinhua East Road 🍜 is very good, near the scenic area, reasonably priced, only 13 RMB. 3⃣️【Aying Dry Mixed Noodles】 The roasted meat is homemade, softer and more flavorful than other roasted meat shops. 4⃣️【Jianguo Oyster Omelette & Oyster Noodles】 Definitely the crispiest oyster omelette 🥘 I’ve ever had. 5⃣️【Old Shop Four Fruit Soup】 The traditional Zhangzhou Four Fruit Soup 🍧 that’s hard to find in Zhangzhou. Standard topping is a thick layer of shaved ice. 6⃣️【Maci Shun / Yang Mushun Maci Shun】 Have you ever tried maci with salted mung beans? 🍡 The maci shun in the ancient city is run by the son, while the father Yang Mushun himself manages the old shop. Maci costs 1.5 RMB each. 7⃣️【Niu’s Confucius Temple Juice】 You must try Pien Tze Huang sugarcane juice 🌿 when in Zhangzhou. The herbal flavor of Pien Tze Huang balances the sweetness of sugarcane, refreshing and cooling. Locals recommend lemon sugarcane juice 🍋 for an even fresher and tastier experience. #SoloTravel
