Although it is now just a quiet small village—Shihu Village, it hides the prosperity of Quanzhou. You can take a taxi or take the Shishi 7 bus (about one way 1h) from the Shishi city area. Shihu Mazu Palace and Liusheng Tower Park are also nearby. You can visit them together and experience slowly. 5⃣️Hui Women's Style Garden, the ticket is 30/person, if you eat in some restaurants in the scenic area, you can offset the ticket if you spend 80; you must walk up the small hill (not high and easy to climb), the view from the top of the hill is extremely wide, you can overlook the entire Dazhu Village .

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. It is considered as the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian province, as well as one of the few surviving Hindu temples in Mainland China... a testimony if the importance of the city of Quanzhou during the medieval global maritime trade. 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.

Quanzhou West Street was established during the Song Dynasty and has experienced a thousand years. The street's appearance is still well preserved, with dozens of relics and groups of antique wooden buildings. However, compared to the current commercial street model, visitors seem to be more curious about the delicacies of West Street than the ancient buildings. 【Street Scene】Most of the shops are snack stores, with the majority offering Minnan snacks, including ginger duck, oyster omelette, and 'big intestine wrapping small intestine'... But there are also snacks from all over the country, including Peking duck, Changsha stinky tofu..., and various types of trendy teas and fresh juices are even more popular. It was after ordering juice at a place called 'Fresh See' (West Street branch) that we began to study our 'food strategy'. There are also souvenir shops on the street where you can buy various packaged snacks including Fujian's unique 'Pian Zai Huang' and various intangible cultural heritage crafts. I bought a Quanzhou-style ceramic tile coaster, so exquisite. 【Buildings】Many of the old buildings on the street have opened their second floors as restaurants or bars, also providing a high vantage point for people to enjoy the view of West Street. We went up to the rooftop of the West Street Tourist Center to take photos, and incidentally admired the cultural and creative cakes from the second floor's Shi Yu. Gazing at the Kaiyuan Temple closing as the sun sets. 📍Specific location: Licheng District, Quanzhou City, accessible by the white electric screen car to the street entrance, just raise your hand and pay 2 yuan per person. 💰Ticket information: Free to stroll around ⏱Opening hours: All day

Do not go during the peak season! Restaurants and temples are crowded, which diminishes the experience. Try to take a day or two off, like I did with a weekend + Monday; two to three days is enough. - 🏠Accommodation: Most online recommendations suggest staying away from the attractions, but I prefer the opposite. Staying in the old town is so convenient! I stayed at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and West Street, where several temples and popular snack shops are within walking distance. It only takes a few minutes by 'little white car', freeing up more time for my overnight trip. The only downside to this hotel is the price; otherwise, the experience is very good. You can also look for homestays with better environments. - 🚗Transportation: Walk or take the 'little white car' in the old town. These cars are readily available throughout the old town, with a wait of just a minute or two, or even less. Just wave your hand, tell the driver where you want to go, and if it's reachable within the old town, they'll invite you aboard. It costs 2 yuan per person, and you can pay with Quanzhou's Alipay transportation card when getting off, which is super convenient. For longer distances, take a taxi. - 🚶Strolling the Streets and Alleys: Staying near the bell tower, start from there and embark on this citywalk along West Street and Zhongshan Road. Wander into any lively alleys you see, like Goldfish Alley, Flower Alley, Chengtian Alley, etc. There's no need to follow various routes found online; this area is actually quite small. As you shuttle between temples and attractions, you'll inadvertently explore these places, so just go with the flow. - 🪷Temples: I visited three temples in the old town, all close to each other, which can be toured in a morning or an afternoon. They are Kaiyuan Temple, Guanyue Temple, and Chengtian Temple. They are quite different from many temples I've visited in Hangzhou, and seeing them in person is quite impressive. P45 is Kaiyuan Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian Province, so it's super crowded! Going early in the morning can help avoid the crowds for a more comfortable visit. I went on a rainy Monday, arriving at 8 am, so there weren't many people. You can scan the QR codes at various points for explanations, which is really interesting! You can allocate about 1.5-2h for it. P3 is a photo taken through the incense burner at Chengtian Temple, which is second only to Kaiyuan Temple in size. It felt similar, and I left after half an hour. If you're short on time, you might choose one of the two! P10 is Guanyue Temple, where the incense is really strong. Even the rain can't stop everyone's sincere devotion. It's said that the fortune-telling is very accurate, and during off-peak seasons, praying and fortune-telling take about half an hour. Make sure to research the fortune-telling process in advance! If you get the steps wrong, it might not be accurate. - 🍜Food: I tried Zhang Lin A Shan Ginger Duck, Shuimen Guozi Mianxianhu, and Dongxing Beef Shop, and both my friend and I agreed they were delicious!
