喜迎门酒楼

The service attitude is very good, the taste is very good, very good, will come again in the future.

The world is so big, I want to see it. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and the mixed feelings of work, and let yourself breathe the air of freedom.

After spending two nights browsing nearby attractions suitable for a two-day trip, I chose my destination&mdash;Yong&#39;an&mdash;and embarked on my first spontaneous trip in 24 years:

D1. Taste local snacks and visit the Linyin Stone Forest

On the morning of February 19th, I took the high-speed train departing Fuzhou Station at 10:11 AM, arriving at Yong&#39;an South Station at 12:00 PM. Then I took a taxi to the Xiangzhang City Hotel. Using Didi Chuxing is very convenient for commuting in Yong&#39;an; a car arrives in 3-5 minutes. After putting my luggage away, the sun was already shining brightly outside the window, even though it was February. The temperature soared to around 30 degrees Celsius. I quickly changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt and followed Baidu to the nearby time-honored &quot;Old Yong&#39;an Kuey Teow Shop&quot; for lunch. It lived up to its reputation: the kuey teow was white, tender, and smooth, the broth was delicious, and paired with a plate of the legendary &quot;live meat&quot; slices. It looked ordinary, but the taste was truly delicious. After a quick rest at the hotel at noon, I took a taxi to the long-heralded Linyin Stone Forest. This 4A-level scenic spot boasts a typical karst formation. Its name, Linyin, is inspired by the saying &quot;Heaven therefore conceals its traces,&quot; due to its fish-scale-like surface. The forest boasts a myriad of unusually shaped rocks, overlapping peaks and ridges, and anthropomorphic forms. The Kissing Rock and the Farewell My Concubine Rock are particularly lifelike, a breathtaking display of nature&#39;s uncanny craftsmanship.

For dinner, we stopped by Daohe 888 Late-Night Food Stall. The d&eacute;cor is cozy and the handmade beef balls are incredibly chewy and worth a try.

D2: Jishan Village (Jishan Bistro, Qiluo Public House, Big Banyan Tree, Floating Bridge, Cuiyuan, Liu&#39;s Castle, Former Site of the National Fujian Conservatory of Music in Yong&#39;an), Yong&#39;an Pedestrian Street, Grandma Chen&#39;s Cha Cha Fruit Shop, Yong&#39;an Museum (Confucian Temple), and a second stop at the Old Yong&#39;an Kuey Teow Shop. Jishan Village is a traditional Chinese village, home to a crystal-clear stream, a solemn small temple, fields of yellow and green rapeseed flowers, an ancient castle, and several sites from the Yong&#39;an War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Despite its vicissitudes, the village remains fresh and refined, akin to a paradise. It is also a renowned historical and cultural village in Fujian Province. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Fujian Provincial Committee and provincial capital relocated from Fuzhou to Yong&#39;an for seven and a half years. Qiji Public House was once a branch of the Fujian Provincial Experimental Primary School; Cuiyuan, a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit, is the former site of the Fujian Provincial National Government Health Department. The National Fujian Conservatory of Music, a college established in Yong&#39;an in 1940, is located within Jishan Village. The neatly maintained wooden houses, with old photos adorning the walls and sheet music on the dusty piano, all speak to the teaching and anti-Japanese and national salvation activities carried out within the conservatory during the war. The most eye-catching feature is the floating bridge at the village ferry crossing. Made of several mottled orange-yellow wooden boats and planks strung together with iron chains, it was once a means of transportation for the villagers to cross the river, but now it has become a stunning sight, and every photo captures its beauty.

The Liu Family Ancient Fort was an unexpected discovery on this trip. I thought I&#39;d finished exploring Jishan Village and was about to head home, but less than five minutes into the return taxi ride, I caught a glimpse of an earthen fort standing out the window. I promptly asked the driver to stop and take a look inside. This Liu Family Earthen Fort is a typical Qing Dynasty earthen fortress. Its floor plan is in the shape of a Chinese character &quot;回&quot; (U). It faces west and is constructed of earth and wood. The fort stands approximately 8 meters tall, with a 1.26-meter-wide corridor encircling the fort. Covering an area of 1,600 square meters, the Hakka people, due to the harsh environment, the presence of wild beasts, and the frequent banditry, as well as intense conflicts with local indigenous people and clan feuds, built their homes into fortified towers, allowing them to live together as a family. During the Anti-Japanese War, it served as the office of the Fujian Provincial Agricultural Improvement Office. Due to its isolated and desolate surroundings, it was also converted into the First Prison of Fujian.

From Jishan Village, take a taxi directly to Yong&#39;an Pedestrian Street. A leisurely stroll from the beginning to the end takes about half an hour, leading to the discovery of Grandma Chen&#39;s Cha Cha Kueh Shop, tucked away in a small alley. The owner, warm and simple, explained that the shop has been open for 30 years and is now run by the second generation. I sampled several of their snacks. While the Cha Cha Kueh is a must-try, I highly recommend the beef ball soup; it&#39;s definitely worth the trip.

After lunch, exit the alley and diagonally across from it is the Yong&#39;an Museum and the Yong&#39;an Confucian Temple, the only surviving ancient building in the city that bears witness to the region&#39;s various historical developments. Construction began in the sixth year of the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty. In the early years of the Republic of China, Yong&#39;an&#39;s first modern-style county-run national education school was also established here. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Confucian Temple also served as the provincial government office and the Yong&#39;an Provincial Normal School. With a history of 500 years and a total floor area of 5,000 square meters, it underwent its eighth renovation in 2003. Six plaques, including the inscription &quot;Teacher of All Ages&quot; in the handwriting of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, which had been lost for nearly 300 years, were recreated, along with three couplets in the handwriting of Emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong. The temple also features bronze tripods for Confucius worship, bronze chimes, stone slabs, and other ceremonial instruments.

After visiting the Confucian Temple, it was still early for the return train, so I stopped by the Old Yong&#39;an Kuey Teow Shop to revisit the delicious flavors of Yong&#39;an.
