Quanzhou | Two days and two nights

🚶‍♀️ Day1: Morning flight, arrive at noon, first go to the homestay next to West Street to drop off luggage. West Street (Zeng's Old Remembered Noodle Paste, lunch) - Kaiyuan Temple - Bell Tower - Chengtian Temple - Guanyue Temple - Qingjing Temple - rest with fruit tea - Wen Temple - Zhongshan Road Cultural Street - Huaxiang Catholic Church - A Shan Ginger Duck (dinner) - Puppet Theater (18:00 show) - West Street (late-night snack) Day2: Tianhou Palace - Fumei Xiao Wangye's Palace - Wulin Ancient Village - Green Island Seafood Restaurant (lunch) - Luojia Temple - Xunpu Village - West Street Day3: Return flight Noodle paste, ginger duck, four-fruit soup, vinegar meat, clam pancake, beef offal soup, beef soup, dry mixed noodles, matsutake buns (Green Island), pot sighting, steak, taro crispy duck, Auntie's chicken rack, mochi, braised noodles were all tasted. Highly recommend the noodle paste, clam pancake, Green Island, taro crispy duck; Auntie's chicken rack is very ordinary, although you can order with a QR code and get online reminders for meal pickup, it's not worth queuing for. Day1 except for the taxi from the airport to West Street and back and forth to the Puppet Theater, the rest was on foot; Day2 was all by taxi. Huaxiang Catholic Church, Xunpu Village (if not wearing flowers) can be skipped, they are very average, and so is the Bell Tower. West Street has Li Coffee Shop rooftop check-in (requires in-store consumption, the main entrance is in a small alley), Guanyue Temple, Luojia Temple are very beautiful. Puppet Theater requires advance ticket grabbing on the official WeChat account, a show is 60min, and it's really worth watching. It's not possible to hail a taxi near Tianhou Palace, so walked to the side of Fumei Xiao Wangye's Palace to take a taxi, no need to go there specially. The city's kapok and bougainvillea are blooming, bustling with flowers, and everywhere there are Southern Fujian temples, old districts, Western romantic, Southeast Asian style, and Southern Fujian tradition, Quanzhou is really special, indeed half the city is mundane and half is celestial. Walking in the alleys, the wind blowing in the face is cool and refreshing, mixed with some floral fragrance. The houses on the street, the small parks, the streets themselves are very much like our childhood homes, more like our childhood hometown than our current hometown. I had this feeling before in Nanping, Fujian seems to have pressed the pause button on time.
