When in Quanzhou, taking a stroll along the West Street, one of the most popular spots of the city, is a must do for every visitor! West Street is located in the downtown area of Quanzhou (Fujian Province), at the side of the UNESCO site of the Kanyuan Temple. The street is renowned for its local snacks and charming historic buildings, characterized by the local architectural style, recognizable by the lively orange color of the bricks and tiles. I visited West Street during the week of Chinese New Year 2023, and although really crowded, I still enjoyed the local flavor and tasty street food! 😋🍢 #quanzhou #weststreet #fujian #urbanexplorer

Kaiyuan Temple 开元寺 is one of the most important temples of the South East of China, located in the lively city of Quanzhou.

Because of its historical relevance, in 2021, the temple was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with other sites near Quanzhou. 📍Kaiyuan Temple is located in the West Street of the city of Quanzhou, Fujian Province, China. #quanzhou #fujianprovince

I always remember the words that my mother always said: "How do you like a gift, pick it up?" The so-called Jiali is also a puppet. In the current repertoire of Quanzhou, there are still many contents of weddings, funerals and folk beliefs and customs in Quanzhou.

The most famous West Street in Quanzhou on the Zhongshan Road is like the Luogu Lane in Beijing, the Yangshuo in Guilin, the Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu, and the Beibuwan Old Street in the North Sea. It is an old street carrying the millennium Minnan culture. Going out from Xiaoxitun, you can see the Quanzhou landmark, the clock tower located at the intersection of West Street and Zhongshan Road, full of rich Nanyang style, which is particularly conspicuous at the end of the antique West Street. It is a unique scenery of the ancient city with the East and West Towers, and the Diaolou. It attracts tourists from home and abroad. This is also the standard clock tower built when the East-West Cross Road was built in 1934. The clock tower is 13.8 meters high and is designed by the British designer. European style.

Finally saw the dragon🐉! Family members~ Recently, Kowloon has been all over the social media, and today I finally saw it. Now I am sharing my feelings of the day with everyone. First of all, the coiled Azure Dragon🐉, called Pulao, is located next to the clock tower on West Street in Quanzhou, known as 'Dragon Crowd Seeking Big Money'. This spot tends to be more crowded, and the dragon here doesn't look very good in photos at night without the lights on, so I recommend taking photos during the day, it's so beautiful. Next is Bixi, the cute and dazed 'little dragon turtle' haha, it's really adorable, I like it so much. It's located at Wei Yuan Tower, which is right next to the road of the Second Hospital of Medical University, Licheng District. It's only a little over two hundred meters from the clock tower, so you can choose your route according to your own situation. There are fewer people around Wei Yuan Tower during the weekdays, and today there was almost no one. I heard that the other dragons will appear in the next few days, and I am so looking forward to it, the dragon quest route has officially started! At Wei Yuan Tower, there are two ancient trees. When I went back at night, I found that the trees were hung with lanterns and small lights, which looked super beautiful. The most important thing is that the middle tree🌲 had a dragon head🐲 hung on it, which was really cool and I liked it so much. There were also goldfish lanterns around the base of the tree. I recommend everyone to go see the dragons and then check out the trees at night, it's really nice and has a strong New Year atmosphere. Forgive me for not being able to capture the effect with my phone, but what I saw with my eyes was really beautiful. Quanzhou really has a full sense of ceremony, and lanterns🏮 are hung on various roads, so you can see them everywhere when you go out.
