Kangzhuang Manjian Gao in Peixiang, #West Street, Quanzhou, is the favorite breakfast shop for locals. It has the flavor of an old shop [like][like], and the freshly made Manjian Gao is soft and sweet [gluttonous]. There are black sesame, winter melon, and peanut flavors. I like to eat it while it's hot. The old man said it tastes better when it's cold and chewy [doge][doge], so I eat half and leave the other half and wait for it to cool [smile proudly][smile proudly]

Food exploration Manjiangao is one of the special snacks in southern Fujian. The traditional Manjiangao is hidden in Peixiang, in a restaurant called Kangzhuang Manjiangao. Manjian Gao was first created by an old couple in Peixiang. They have a long history and use a simple rice stove to produce a southern Fujian specialty snack. Most of the snacks are packaged and taken away, and they taste better when hot. It is cone-shaped, and the inside is shaped like a beehive. It is soft and delicious, with a rich taste in the interlayer, including peanuts, sesame seeds, and winter melon candy. One piece costs 20 yuan, and it is a whole big piece, thick. The delicious breakfast in the morning starts from now on. Pair it with a glass of milk or soy milk, and then taste a bite of the fragrant freshly baked fried cake, and you will have a wonderful day. Although it looks simple, the filling in the middle is sweet and delicious. It is full of fillings and has a chewy and chewy texture when you bite it. Various aromas linger on the tip of your tongue for a long time, satisfying your taste buds.

Route Highlights: A 10-stop journey connecting the city of "half city bustling with life, half city celestial," from morning bells and evening drums to the incense of late-night beef charcoal grills. See the thousand-year-old city of Citong in one day! ------ 🚶‍♀️ Dawn Departure: Loyalty, Exoticism, and Confucianism 1. Guan Yu Temple 🏯 ◦ Highlight: Southern Fujian's most popular martial arts temple, the porcelain dragon carvings on the roof shimmer with color. Locals line up as early as 6 a.m. to draw fortune sticks, said to be incredibly accurate! ◦ Tip: You can buy an incense set for 3 yuan outside the temple. Upon entering, bow to Guan Gong and then to Yue Fei. After the fortune sticks are drawn, ask the fortune teller for their interpretation (a red envelope is optional). 2. Qingjing Mosque 🕌 ◦ Highlight: China's oldest extant Islamic mosque, and the filming location for the Monkey King's borrowing of the palm-leaf fan in "Journey to the West"! The Persian inscriptions on the stone walls and the remaining columns of the dome convey a sense of timelessness. ◦ Note: Women must wear long pants or a long skirt (scarves are available for rent at the entrance for 5 yuan). Cash payment is 3 yuan for faster entry. 3. Quanzhou Confucian Temple 🏫 ◦ Highlights: A hybrid of architecture from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties! The Dacheng Hall features coiled dragon stone pillars and a plaque inscribed by Emperor Kangxi. The east wing contains ancient cheat sheets for the imperial examinations. ◦ Fun fact: The "brick-in-stone" wall (red brick and stone paving) beneath the ancient banyan tree in the backyard is a unique earthquake-resistant feature of Southern Fujian architecture. ------ 🌤 Lunchtime Stroll: Alleyway Fireworks and a Buddhist Kingdom in the Sky 4. Goldfish Lane 🐠 ◦ The smell of fireworks: This 100-meter alley is packed with old-fashioned flavors! Must-try: "Donglai Caitou Sour" (white radish stuffed with peanut candy, sour, crisp, and sweet) and "Haisi Jinfeng" freshly made Yuanxiao (Chinese glutinous rice balls). ◦ Arty lovers: Take a photo at the "Bieguan" teahouse at the end of the alley, with its Minnan flower tiles and vintage radio – it's a perfect way to transport yourself back to the 1980s. 5. Xiangfeng Alley 🐘 ◦ The ultimate camera angle: Stand at the alley entrance and look up! The East and West Pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple hang above the eaves of red brick houses, creating a magical moment where the city and the Buddhist world meet. 📸 ◦ Easter egg: Inside the alley, at the "Sanchao Alley" teahouse, antique porcelain tiles are embedded in the walls. Cool off with a cup of wild chrysanthemum tea for 5 yuan. 6. West Street Rush 🛣 ◦ Rooftop Battle: ▪ Mei Chao Feng, 3rd floor: Free panoramic photos of the Twin Pagodas and West Street. The "Quanzhou" sign on the glass wall is a must-see. ▪ Youli Coffee: Gorgeous sunset views, but a 28 yuan latte covers the entrance fee. ◦ Avoid: Souvenirs on the main street are overpriced! Turn into "Pei Alley" and buy Kangzhuang Manjiangao (brown sugar and sesame filling, 10 yuan/piece). 7. Kaiyuan Temple 🛕 ◦ Hidden Gems: ▪ Qinfo Day: Come on the morning of the 26th day of the lunar calendar to enjoy free vegetarian noodles and join hundreds of people in praying around the pagoda. ▪ Ancient Ship Museum: Enjoy a private view of the "Double Pagoda Hanging Alley" from a small window on the 3rd floor, where the light and shadows are beautiful with few people. ◦ Fun Fact: The beams of the Main Hall contain 24 flying celestial musicians (the only wooden flying celestials in China), embodying Indian angel wings and Dunhuang ribbons! ------ 🌆 Dusk: Landmarks, Instagram-famous posts, and a charcoal fire carnival 8. Bell Tower 🕰 ◦ Magical Hour: One hour before sunset! The white pagoda's blue roof, gilded with gold, creates a flowing scroll of traffic on East and West Streets and the light and shadows of the arcades. ◦ Quickie: Scallop dumplings with peanut butter dipping sauce from "Hou A-po's Rou Zong" across the street (13 yuan), a local favorite! 9. Quanzhou Calendar Wall 📅 ◦ Photo Tip: Navigate along the side wall of "Ju Ruo West Street" for good light after 4 PM! Think about your poses while waiting in line—a toast to the tower pose is recommended 🥤. 10. Niu Xiaowei Grilled Fresh Beef 🥩 ◦ Soulful Way: Freshly cut beef with secret shacha sauce, grilled over charcoal for 5 seconds, flipped, tender and juicy! Enjoy your beef for 80 yuan per person. ◦ Perfect Pairing: Pair with a bottle of "Huiquan Beer," a refreshing and refreshing take on the Minnan craft beer. ------ 🌟 Ultimate Tip • Transportation: 2 yuan per ride on the "Little White Car"! The route from Guanyu Temple to West Street, Kaiyuan Temple, and then to the Bell Tower is a must-do. Enjoy the chill street views while enjoying the breeze. • A tip for avoiding peak hours: "Morning in the temples, noon in the alleys, evening in West Street"—visit the temples in the morning to avoid the crowds, explore the alleys for food at noon, and ascend the rooftop in the evening to watch the sunset. • In-depth experience: If you encounter a string puppet show (at an intangible cultural heritage museum or puppet theater), don't miss the live performance of "Drunken Zhong Kui"! #QuanzhouTravelGuide #QuanzhouFoodSeeHere
