There is such a city

Thousand years ago

When Beijing and Shanghai were still unknown

It has become second to none in the country

Sea center

It is located in Fujian with vast resources

Although today’s reputation is far less than Fuzhou and Xiamen

But it has been 22 years in a row

The total economic volume remains the first in the province

It has been prosperous for thousands of years

Even when Marco Polo passed by here

Can’t help feeling

“It is one of the largest ports in the world

A large number of businessmen gathered here

The goods are piled up like a mountain

Unimaginable”

It is known as “Seaside Zou Lu”, “City of Light” Reputation

Since ancient times, commerce has prospered, culture and education have prospered

From Zheng Chenggong to Li Guangdi

Affordable here “Outstanding People” These four words

It was “The City of Seven Min”

The Minnan culture is expressed incisively and vividly here

Although there are many high-rise buildings in the city

But you still see

Swallowtail Ridge of Ancient Red Brick House in Southern Fujian

It is always taken and “Nepal” compared to

Because there are historical stories everywhere

Ancient and modern complement each other

Landscape everywhere

And this city

High life happiness index

It’s still a possession Beautiful coastline city ​​of

Bred a child of a sea

It now

Although there is no “high spirits” of the year,

But this city

The sunshine and market breath

Very comfortable

Take a walk and drink tea to the beach to watch the sunrise and sunset

Looking for an Erythrina flower in a winding alley

All said “Just because of a flower, I think of a city

When the erythrina blossoms are red all over the city

It also ushered in the most beautiful time

Hello

“Quanzhou”

02

A city where “man and god live together”

I said earlier that many people like to compare it with “Nepal”

In addition to a high life happiness index

There are monuments everywhere here

It was called the Kingdom of Buddha in ancient times

The streets are full of saints

Brick by brick

All have a strong historical atmosphere

This is the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road

So almost all religious systems in the world coexist

Just passed by Matsu Temple

You can see one at the next corner Catholic church

The oldest in the country mosque

Next door is Guandi Temple

Multiple beliefs in this city

Coexist in a wonderful posture

No wonder everyone said this is “Man and God live together” The place

“Kaiyuan Temple” Is the place to go to Quanzhou

It is the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian Province

Over 1,300 years of history

Kaiyuan Temple was built in a bustling street

But not affected by the noise around

There are many large banyan trees in the temple

The branches are luxuriant, and the shadows cover the sun

One tree is as old as 800 years old

People like to come to pray under the tree

It not only witnessed the history of Quanzhou

Also pinned the hope of countless people in Quanzhou

In the temple “East and West Towers”

Located on the famous West Street

“West Street” But the most lively existence in Quanzhou

Is also the representative of Quanzhou

It retains a large number of historical buildings

If it’s located on West Street

Kaiyuan Temple, East-West Pagoda, celebrity mansion, bell tower…

Is a treasure

Then West Street is the pearl chain connecting them

Walking on the lively West Street

Can not only feel the rich history and culture of the ancient city

I can also feel that this ancient city has been transformed into a new one Hundred years of vicissitudes

East West Tower Standing in a winding street

Like two tireless warriors

Guarding this thousand-year-old city day and night

Reassuring

Some people say that in Quanzhou

Always stupefied when I came to a foreign country

Because the architectural style here has changed too much

such as “Qingjing Temple”

It is one of the earliest existing places in our country

Islamic architecture

Splendid dome

Beautiful carved eaves

Rare stone structure

Breathtaking

Suddenly remembered the lyrics of Li Jian

“I have seen many gods

But my faith still doesn’t see faith”

This faithful city

It’s true and not artificial

It is diversified, open and inclusive

It’s no wonder everyone here is called

“City of the Gods”

03

“Half of the ancient, half of the ocean”

As the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road

Of course the sea is a must-see in Quanzhou

Maybe it’s because Sanya’s coastline is too gorgeous

Or because the sea in the north is too turbulent and magnificent

So many people forget

Quanzhou was “born by the sea”

The sea of ​​Quanzhou

Like old wine

Intoxicating incense

From Chongwu to Xiu Tu in Quanzhou 28.8 km Coastline

Named by National Geographic

One of the eight most beautiful coastlines in China

“Sister Riding the Wind and Waves” from the previous fire

Start their variety show from here

Floating in the sky, the white waves are clean

Fascinating

“Chongwu Ancient City” Built by the sea

Banyue Bay and Qingshan Bay on the coast of Hui’an compete for beauty

If you don’t say

I really thought I came to a foreign country

Such a sparse view

Haven’t seen it for a long time

Especially during big waves

That stormy waves hit the shore

The scene of rolling up a thousand piles of snow is heart-stirring

Compared with the lively waves outside

Another scene in the ancient city

The old streets of the ancient city are all stone streets

Plain houses are on both sides of the old street

Stone house, red brick house, wooden house

Not too much decoration

These buildings of different ages show signs of time

The light of precipitation is still there

Come here to rent a car

Drive along the long coastline

One side is golden sand and clear water

On one side is the ancient city with a long history

Really don’t have a passion

The easternmost pole in Quanzhou

There is also a sacred place of literature and art that does not lose to Kamakura

“Xiao Qiao”

This is the earliest place where the sunrise in Quanzhou

When the first morning light shines

Xiaoyao wakes up too

Windmill Island is a must-visit place in Xiaotuo

It and TAIWAN Island Across the sea

Picturesque

White windmill facing the sea

One windmill dancing with the wind

It’s like a scene in an idol drama

Extremely romantic

Although Windmill Island is not big

But it has achieved the ultimate in literature and art

There is one on the island “Xiaozuo Art Museum”

Corridor of fish scales, red brick roof

It can be said that every step is a scenery

The most special thing is

One-hundred-meter long corridor with hollow door frame design

It’s like the last scene in the movie “The World of Truman”

There are many small seaside towns in Quanzhou

but “Gold Well” But the most special one

Because it has

A tentacled sandbank

The snow-white sandy shore stretches into the depths of the sea

Divide the sea into inside and outside

Walking on the sandbank

Just like being there “Spirited Away” Water road

Surrounded by the sea on all sides

The shock can only come once in person

To understand

“The sea” is for the people of Quanzhou

More than just a facility for entertainment

It also represents the life of Quanzhou people

By the sea in Quanzhou

you can see

The Hui’an woman and the Panpu woman wearing a hairpin

They protect this warm sea together

The sound of waves

And the taste of seafood on the tip of the tongue

Have accompanied countless people in Quanzhou to grow up

No matter where you go

Always aftertaste

The nostalgia deep in the taste buds

04

“Garden City”

Some time ago, Wu Lei took a vlog

Is to record his journey from Quanzhou to Xiamen

When I saw it

I think Quanzhou is so beautiful

It’s like a Big park

There are countless small parks all over it

Then connect them in series with roads and bridges

Huanglong Bridge from the north

South to Binhai Park

Only these 18 kilometers

Set up 10 parks

No wonder people in Quanzhou have such a comfortable life

Living in the picturesque city every day

No matter how impetuous the heart is, it can calm down

“West Lake Park” Is the favorite of Quanzhou people

There are blooming flowers here, shining brightly

Although not as famous as Hangzhou West Lake

But it’s also fish and shrimp jumping, egrets inhabit

The lake, the light and the mountains are all in one

The main thing is

Here is free and open

I want to see the long smoke and water, the beauty of Dandanyun Mountain

Just come anytime

Around Quanzhou “Qingyuan Mountain”

Also worth a visit

Not only beautiful

The statue of the old man here

It’s even in the Chinese Taoist stone carvings

Unique art treasure

Speaking of gems

I have to mention it again

“The first bridge in China” “Luoyang Bridge”

In Quanzhou

Have “Standing like a tower, lying down like a Luoyang bridge” Slang

It connected the land passage between Austria and northern Fujian at that time

Allows unimpeded cargo flow from north to south

It’s not broken after a thousand years

Have truly witnessed the history of Quanzhou from generation to generation

05

“The most authentic southern Fujian style”

If

Where is the most representative of southern Fujian

Not Xiamen, nor Fuzhou

But Quanzhou

Here is the most intact old block so far

Row upon row of shops

Fireworks

Walk in it

As if walking into the downtown area of ​​Tang and Song Dynasties

Many people like to go “Jinjiang Five Stores City”

To find the memory of the past

Dark red houses on both sides of the street

Western-style buildings, etc.

Makes people feel like they have crossed

And the block is still preserved Gaojia play, puppet show…

Intangible cultural heritage with traditional characteristics of Jinjiang

It really gives people visual and auditory enjoyment

In addition to sight and hearing

An unforgettable place in Quanzhou

And the impact it brings to our taste

I want to eat the most authentic Hokkien cuisine

Just come to Quanzhou

There is a saying in southern Fujian

“Emperor to Eat”

In other words

The biggest thing for the common people when eating

This also gave birth to a dazzling array of food in Quanzhou

Braised pork rice, noodle paste, bamboo shoots jelly…

Every dish is salivating

It is said that taste is the best homesickness

From the point of view of Quanzhou people

Among these delicacies

Also contains a unique cultural memory

06

“Quanzhou, Quanzhou”

Sometimes maybe miss

There are many sails in the ancient city of Quanzhou

Ladder and all nations, merchants gathered, a prosperous faction

But now I enjoy the ease of Quanzhou

Walking all over the city Minnan Red On the street

Dozens of various Religious temple Embellish it

And romantic Dovetail roof

Everywhere is exciting

Although I take the high-speed train from Xiamen to here

Only 1 hour

But it cuts off the hustle and bustle

More rustic and peaceful years

There is a scenic spot in Quanzhou called “Ancient City Deep Alley”

Actually means

Must go to Quanzhou

Wander the alley full of traces of time and history

Although there are no modern high-rise buildings here

But pretending to be the most authentic Quanzhou people’s life

Old people will put on bamboo stools in Ride downstairs Cool off

Said Hokkien Although I don’t understand

But it makes people feel extra warm

Tired of shopping

Just find a tea house and listen to the show

Feel the passing of time quietly

As once Marco Polo thought

“The most prosperous city in the world”

Today’s Quanzhou has long returned to primitive simplicity

The once beautiful years have also settled into

Atmosphere and calm

Now it is more like a “retired old man”

Not well versed in world affairs

Just ask “Facing the sea, spring flowers bloom”

Actually in today’s impetuous society

We need such a “pure land”

To soothe the restless heart

Half a city with fireworks and half a city

Banchi Autumn Water Seeking Chinese New Year

Quanzhou is really a magical city

Have a chance to come here for a walk

Look at the former bustling center

Appreciate the most authentic southern Fujian style

Also give my heart a holiday
