    I checked the information and it says the scenic area was built in 1979. Nearly 50 years have passed, and it's surprising that such a beautiful place hasn't been awarded a five-star rating. There's not much commercialization inside, and it's quite peaceful with few people during the off-season.

    This was my second visit. The scenic area now includes a flying magic carpet up the mountain, a stone ox down the mountain, and a waterfall cafe. It's a very nice scenic area, and there's a bonfire party in the evening, making for a very fulfilling trip.

    I wanted to come two years ago, but some spots were closed because the scenic area was preparing to upgrade to 5A. Now that it's finished, I took advantage of the good weather to come and visit, and I was not disappointed!

    卡皮巴拉游世界卡皮巴拉游世界

    This landmark museum in Quanzhou uses down-to-earth exhibits to explore the connection between Fujian and Taiwan. A visit here feels like a journey through time, with artifacts and images showcasing the blood ties between the two sides. The second-floor "Fujian-Taiwan Connection" exhibition is incredibly informative, while the third-floor folklore exhibition offers a glimpse into the past. Don't miss the exquisite Yusu Princess! The imposing Nine Dragon Pillars at the entrance create a truly stunning photo op in the plaza. Free admission makes this weekend a worthwhile opportunity for your family to learn more and experience the warmth of shared roots.

    Puppetry, one of Quanzhou's intangible cultural heritage, is a must-see in Quanzhou. Tickets are in high demand, with several slots available depending on availability, so advance reservations are essential. The play we performed that day was about Huo Qubing, and the actors were incredibly enthusiastic, with a compelling plot that left the audience spellbound. The play was performed in the local dialect, but thanks to the monitors, I could barely understand it. It's definitely worth seeing.

    In the historical and cultural city of Quanzhou, a spectacular puppet show is about to begin. Skilled puppeteers, with their nimble hands and profound expertise, bring the puppets to life on stage. Dressed in colorful costumes, the puppets dance gracefully or playfully, each movement brimming with charm, vividly portraying traditional stories and drawing thunderous applause from the audience, who are completely immersed in the unique artistic charm of southern Fujian.

    Mr. Zhuang, who provided our guided tour, is a native of Quanzhou and possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of the local history and culture. His explanations were engaging and easy to understand. He recounted the evolution, characteristics, and anecdotes of Quanzhou's intangible cultural heritage from the Jin Dynasty to the present day, and the hour flew by. Learning so much about Quanzhou's history and culture on our first day in Quanzhou will greatly benefit our visits in the following days. Thank you to Ctrip for recommending Mr. Zhuang's service.

    After walking up and down the stairs for an hour and a half, remember to wear comfortable shoes, or you will feel a little tired. There are many students during the National Day holiday, so it is best to ask for a guide, or be thick-skinned and take a guide to learn about the history of Quanzhou and the history of ancient shipbuilding. It is a vivid history lesson for children... Remember to make an appointment in advance, and you need to see the code to enter the museum.
