| A Relaxing and Romantic Afternoon at Tuji Lane and Zaihua Lane. Quanzhou Store Exploration | A Relaxing and Romantic Afternoon at Tuji Lane and Zaihua Lane. Zaihua Lane is a space that combines a cafe, restaurant, and homestay. The first floor is a retro-style cafe and a restaurant with a Minnan-style decor. As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the French retro space and sat down with my friends to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. After having afternoon tea, I walked into the Minnan-style restaurant. The drinks are also presented in a very special way, which perfectly matches the decor style. The food and drinks are delicious. My friends and I all said that we would come back to this restaurant again. I have to mention the almond shrimp balls with pandan sauce, which are really delicious. My friends and I couldn't stop praising them. The black pepper beef pasta is also very fragrant (I won't use too exaggerated words to describe it). I can only say that the delicious food is really delicious, and I will eat it again next time. Business hours: 10:00–22:00 Per capita consumption: It depends on your budget. The price is reasonable, and the new single item is only a few dozen yuan. If you travel to Quanzhou, I recommend you to visit the alleys of Quanzhou and stay in this homestay. I told my friends that if I were a tourist, I would choose to stay here. The environment is very good, and you can sit on the top floor to enjoy the scenery and wait for the sunset. You can enjoy the sunset around the East and West Pagodas, which slowly falls around the pagodas. It's a wonderful feeling.

Stay in the flower alley of the red brick ancient houses. Compared to West Street, I prefer the red bricks and green plants of the flower alley, the quaint environment for an afternoon tea, the little cats on the street, a whole street of delicious food, getting so tired that I drink big sips of milk in the homestay, and before sleep, I still want to watch by the stove for a while, another simple travel weekend spent with my child. Homestay: Tuji Alley and (Huaxiang Store)

Live in the alley on the flower alley and the new cultural tourism complex space ➡️The ancient city walk within the radius ➡️Bring your own works to meet the works of the ancient city It really is a perfect one-stop service for food, accommodation and transportation🐉 Before the holiday, I was busy with various chores to prepare for the New Year and stayed up for several nights. Finally, I stayed at the newly opened Xiangyu B&B by Tuji in my hometown of Quanzhou and had a lazily sleep. The name is clever, giving the feeling of "encountering in the flower alley". The first thing I saw when I opened the door was a comfortable feeling of returning home (my home is not that beautiful ^_^). The coffee table on the long platform caught my eye and I immediately wanted to sit down. Also, with the sudden drop in temperature, the toilet seat in the B&B is too warm and I don’t want to get up I have strayed from the topic. My little trip to meet the Quanzhou dragons really made me forget the anxiety I had when I was working in front of the computer yesterday.

It's been many years since I last visited Quanzhou, and this year, just before the Spring Festival, I brought my child to experience the dragon chasing in Quanzhou🐉. The new status of the ancient city as an intangible cultural heritage has endowed Quanzhou with more charm. This city of world cultural heritage is not only full of enthusiasm but also has a strong sense of life and human touch. Walking through the streets and alleys of the ancient city, one can always feel the unique warmth of Southern Fujian❤️‍🔥. There are 22 world cultural heritage sites, which are both close and far away. The travel boom in Quanzhou this year let me experience the pressure of following the crowd, but fortunately, I chose to stay inside the ancient city this time, which reduced the pressure of transportation significantly. ❤️Therefore, choosing the right accommodation location is particularly important when traveling to Quanzhou❗ ✅It is recommended to choose to stay in the ancient city when visiting Quanzhou, not only because it is close to the attractions but also because there are many surrounding delicacies with long business hours. Mainly, there are small white cars in the scenic area that you can hail to stop, and it only costs 2 yuan to get anywhere within the ancient city. It is very suitable for parents with children. ✅This time I stayed in a guesthouse that was transformed from a standalone century-old top scholar's house, Zhuangyuan Tuji·Alley & Guesthouse (West Street Flower Alley Store). Eating, drinking, and shopping are very convenient. You can take a small white car just a few meters away from the door, and downstairs is a variety of Quanzhou delicacies. Next door, you can put on a flower🌸, which is very convenient, and it is full of the atmosphere of Southern Fujian life. The children don't need to walk much when going out, which makes them very happy. It's rare that their house is also equipped with an elevator🛗, which saves guests the trouble of carrying luggage up the stairs, and the whole environment is very quiet, completely unrelated to the bustling crowd outside. However, the bigger problem with coming to the ancient city is parking. I chose to park at the Cultural Palace, where it costs about 1 yuan per hour. After parking, it's very convenient to take a small white car directly to the destination.
