Compared to Quanzhou, I love this severely underrated small city in southern Fujian even more

Hi~ I'm Xiao Hei who loves to travel, and I've found another treasure spot for you to enjoy! Recently, I've been playing around in the summer in Zhangzhou, and the temperature at noon is around 20 degrees, which is really pleasant. Anyway, I don't want to brave the cold weather in the north 🤣 Zhangzhou, this quiet and undiscovered treasure of an ancient city, ‼️ is really underestimated. It's the perfect time to visit when there are not many tourists. Walking around this ancient city, there's no need to queue for photos, snacks are about 10 yuan, and as you stroll and eat, you just can't bear to leave once you're here 😂 📝|Suggestion: Quickly 🌟save🌟 it, and tag your sisters and friends Don't know where to go?
