A day trip to Chongwu

Get off the high-speed train at Quanzhou East Station and take the bus to Chongwu Ancient City according to the navigation, which takes a total of one and a half hours. I always believe that the bus is the most intuitive understanding of a city, so I choose the bus when I have enough time. The first experience of entering the ancient city is to look down at the village of the ancient city from the city wall, walk around the racetrack, a total of more than two kilometers, taking about an hour. If you have average physical strength, you can also walk a short distance, because there are no other attractions except the ancient cannons at the narrow pass after a round. The ancient city has five gates in the southeast, northwest and water, and the water gate is very narrow, only one motorcycle can pass. Every family in Chongwu worships Buddha. People here rely on fishing for a living. Women stay at home and pray to Buddha for the safe return of men. There are many temples in the ancient city, and famous attractions include Guandi Temple and Haitide Temple. The stone well is another feature of the ancient city. Famous wells include the wine tasting well and the silk dyeing well. The silk dyeing well is also said to be the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. The above area is the living area of the residents of the ancient city. The tour area of the ancient city is mainly stone carvings, with a ticket price of 45 yuan. You can enter the Chongwu Ancient City tour area for free before seven in the morning and after six in the evening. There is a meteorological boundary line between the East China Sea and the South China Sea. You should be able to see that the sea water is of different colors at the boundary line. Unfortunately, I didn't see it . The statue of the anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang stands here with a sword in his hand facing the sea, defending his homeland against foreign enemies. There is a trace of a shell left by the Japanese bombardment of the ancient city in 1938 in the ancient city, reminding the Chinese children to be strong. Another feature of Chongwu is that the dress of middle-aged and older women on the street catches the eye. They are known at home and abroad for their unique clothing and hardworking spirit. This is Hui'an woman, they are Han nationality, not minority. Most of them live in Dazhu Village, which is three kilometers away from the ancient city. There is a direct bus. There is a station in Hui'an Women's Homestay Style Park. You can go or not, no recommendation .
