Quanzhou, Fujian, a city that was originally very niche, has become popular because of its hairpin flowers. It is the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, the best place to preserve intangible cultural heritage, and the city that "one must visit at least once in a lifetime" according to Bai Yansong. How to tour Quanzhou with children? Please keep my parent-child travel guide. DAY1️⃣ 【West Street—West Lake Park—Quanzhou Puppet Theatre】 🔸The big posters of Quanzhou, Kaiyuan Temple, East and West Towers, and Bell Tower are all near West Street. This is a must-visit place in Quanzhou. You don't have to taste the snacks on West Street, it is indeed very commercial now, but it is a very lively street. To go to the nearby West Lake Park, you just need to take the small white car that stops when you wave, 2 yuan/person. 🔹The puppet show is really popular. It's hard to get the best viewing position in the first four rows. On the powerful platform, I spent 120/ticket*3 and bought three tickets in the middle of the fourth row. I think the visual effect is very good. You can see every joint and micro expression of the puppet. Here, we should applaud these inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. It's a very regular performance. At the end, children can take photos with puppets. It also gives children a more intuitive understanding of our Chinese traditional culture. DAY2️⃣ 【Yushawan Park (Quanzhou's Little Anaya)—Floating Stone Hidden Land (Little Jeju Island)】 🔸I like Quanzhou, probably because it has traditional culture and the romance of the sea. This is the starting point of the Silk Road, so the sea here has a feeling of setting sail with dreams. Yushawan Park is a newly developed place. It has a beach, which can satisfy children's desire to play with water, watch the sea, play with sand and exhibitions. 🔹The Floating Stone Hidden Land is very photogenic, and the black reefs really give you a feeling of returning to Jeju Island. There are also many fishing boats nearby, where you can feel the life scene of local fishermen. The nearby Shufen food stall, which is the same style as the Wave Sister Sound, has a great view, and it's safe to arrange dinner here. DAY3️⃣ 【Xunpu Village—Jinjiang Wudian City—Wulin Traditional Village】 🔸For sisters who want to go to Xunpu Village to pin flowers, it is recommended to rush early, otherwise there will be many people queuing and the experience will not be good. Personally, I chose to let my husband and son sleep until they wake up naturally, and I went to take pictures of the hairpin flowers early. When I finished shooting after nine o'clock, they just finished breakfast, which does not affect the whole day's itinerary. But if you bring a daughter, it is recommended to take parent-child photos, little girls pinning flowers are really beautiful and cute. 🔹Wudian City has many characteristic shops, museums, folk museums, etc. Here you can stroll and eat leisurely. Wulin Traditional Village is a place with a history of more than 600 years. There is a kind of architectural beauty that combines Chinese and Western styles. You can bring your children to listen to the stories here. The integration of Nanyang style, Gothic style, and ancient Roman style architecture is very amazing. 🟡Accommodation suggestion, stay in Quanzhou city for one night, and by the sea for one night. 🟣I personally like the taste of Quanzhou very much. It's also very friendly to children, not spicy at all. 🔴Quanzhou has a lot of potential, it's a place you'll want to visit again after you've been there

✨Historically profound, infinitely charming✨ First, we arrived at Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, and were attracted by its historical depth as soon as we entered. This temple, which was built in the early Tang Dynasty, is the largest temple in Fujian, preserving historical buildings from the Tang and Song Dynasties, including the East and West Towers. Standing here, it seems as if you can hear the echoes of history. 🌈Old street style, all in sight🌈 Then, we strolled on West Street, the most intact ancient street in Quanzhou city. Along the way, we saw a large number of buildings with historical original appearance, as if we had traveled back to ancient times. The main road is now a pedestrian street, and the dazzling array of snacks and delicacies is even more unforgettable. Xiangfeng Lane, located behind the East Tower of Kaiyuan Temple, has a strong local life atmosphere, feeling the ordinary and comfortable life of the locals. 💫Wishing heaven, experiencing folk culture💫 Finally, we arrived at Xiaoxi Cheng, a small market full of wishing cards. Bai Yansong's words are on the wall here, which is deeply touching. In the end, we came to Youli Coffee Shop, and the rooftop is the classic net red shooting spot for the Twin Towers. But you have to consume in the store to go to the rooftop, but the coffee and environment here are really worth a visit. ✨Experience sharing✨ The trip to Quanzhou made me deeply feel the charm of the ancient city. Not only does it have a deep historical background, but also a rich folk culture. Most importantly, the snacks and coffee here are really unforgettable. If you also come to Quanzhou, why not take this trip, I believe you will have different gains.

I was so lucky this time to Quanzhou~ The weather was great! On the first day, I encountered a beautiful sunset. The second day was a day trip to the seaside.

The prices are slightly different, depending on the clothes you choose. But the prices are very transparent, basically you won't step on thunder. It's best to choose a shop with an aunt inside, the braid will look better. . ✔️Kaiyuan Temple: After finishing the hairpin flower, you must come to the red wall of Kaiyuan Temple to take pictures, it's very beautiful! . ✔️Wulin Traditional Village: It's quite far from West Street, about 40 minutes by taxi, closer to the airport. There are many old buildings preserved here, the most photogenic is the Roman-style building just inside. . 🥗Food: Noodle paste, ginger duck, mazhi... all are not bad! . Overall, Quanzhou is very suitable for playing for two or three days, the consumption is not high, and most of the attractions do not require tickets. This time we came, including round-trip air tickets, the average person spent more than a thousand and had a lot of fun~ . Thank you for reading, see you next time👋🏻

I returned from Quanzhou in May, and I'm sharing my travel tips with you, 'A city half filled with the bustle of life and half with the serenity of the divine.' It's full of the charm of everyday life when you visit here. ✅Travel Tips South Christian Church - Bell Tower - West Street - Kaiyuan Temple - Xiangfeng Alley 🏠For accommodation, you can choose to stay near West Street, which is convenient for sightseeing 👉West Street is one of the must-visit spots in Quanzhou, where attractions are relatively concentrated and can be visited together. Here, churches and temples coexist, which is quite unique. First, take a look at the South Christian Church, then at the crossroads is the Bell Tower, which is also the entrance to West Street. West Street is a long street, and as you go further in, both sides are lined with delicious snacks. Kaiyuan Temple is inside, free to visit, you can go there first to check in, and feel the East and West Towers up close. Then, find a rooftop café in West Street for an afternoon tea, relax and enjoy the view. In Xiangfeng Alley, you can take a photo just like the celebrity Li Xian. ⭐️Attraction Recommendations Li Tian Terrace Café The evening view is very nice, with desserts and afternoon tea available, just order casually and you can relax on top, with various setups that are great for taking photos. West Street Tourist Center Rooftop There is a tourist center on West Street, with a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs. Upstairs there is a terrace where you can take photos of the Buddhist pagoda, it's free, don't miss it. Berry Super Crazy The rooftop here allows you to capture the Twin Towers, and the place connecting the two shops allows you to capture the word 'Quanzhou'. Quanzhou Poster Wall A scenic spot for checking in. Enter from the main road of West Street, you will see 85°C on your right hand, then turn into the alley to find it. Kaiyuan Temple Kaiyuan Temple is quite large, you can tag along with a tour guide to listen to cultural explanations, and the red wall when you come out is a great background for photos.

I was thinking about waiting until after the festival when there are fewer people to take pictures, but it's already the eighth day of the lunar new year and there's not a single person less! It should be considered the culmination of Quanzhou tourism, with one creative shop after another, and the products they make are surprisingly good-looking. This Spring Festival holiday can be said to be non-stop, every afternoon I insist on going out to sweep the streets. Looking at these photos, Quanzhou is still that Quanzhou, and I am just a ghost wandering in memories. "It's not easy to live a good life in the world. Taking photos and syncing all the way. Frankly expressing feelings and attitudes. In fact, life is not wasted. Where does the dust fly?" ——《Salon》by Eason Chan

The office of the gods in the world, the gods and Buddhas want you to be happy. The old city of Quanzhou is not big, suitable for aimless wandering, exploring the charm of the streets and alleys. DAY1 Guanyue Temple-Kaiyuan Temple-Mei Chaofeng-Love Wall-Quanzhou Film and Theater Poster-Xihu Park ①Just on the first day of the month, I went to the 'Guanyue Temple' with the most incense in Quanzhou early in the morning, which was really lively. The temple does not require a ticket, and you can ask for incense at the door. You can add some incense money appropriately, either in cash or online. The exterior of Quanzhou's temples are quite good-looking, just in the year of the dragon, I can't help but look at the dragon on the eaves a few more times. ②After worshiping Guanyue Temple, you can stop a small white car on the side of the road, 2 yuan, and go to Kaiyuan Temple. It was built in the Tang Dynasty, the iconic East and West Pagoda stone carvings are exquisite, and there is also the prototype of Sun Wukong. Historical records show that during the Ming Dynasty, Quanzhou had an 8-level earthquake, and the entire city was destroyed. The East and West Pagodas were still strong, which is a miracle. It's quite interesting to carefully observe the entire temple and read the historical introduction on the stele here. ③City panorama: The top floor of Mei Chaofeng Milk Tea Shop, and the two red characters 'Quanzhou' are also in the shop. There are fewer people at noon, and you can slowly watch the twin towers with a cup of milk tea. ④'Love' wall, navigate to Christian Church Quannan Church ⑤'Quanzhou' giant poster, navigate to 'Quanzhou Film and Theater' or 'Qiwei Duck Porridge', turn into the alley and you can see it Bell Tower: You can take pictures at the crossroads, there are more people and cars ⑥Xihu Park, just stop a small white car and walk to Xihu Park to watch the sunset DAY2 Xunpu Village-Xiangzhi Wharf ①Xunpu Village: When you come to Quanzhou, you always have to experience the intangible cultural heritage hairpin flower once. The hairpin flower has to go to Xunpu Village. I chose Huami Home. The internet celebrity grandma is also their home. The old store has a yard, full of atmosphere, basically you can take pictures nearby, no need to run far with the flower. 40r includes hairpin flower and clothing, make up by yourself, the color of the Fuji film is super good~ It takes 2h ②Xiangzhi Wharf: After having lunch in Xunpu, you can go to Xiangzhi Wharf to see the sea in the afternoon. You can navigate to 'Little Girl Manicure', there is a newly opened coffee shop that is so chill, the sea water is very clean and blue, and walking along the coastline is very healing~
