Low-key, inclusive, ancient... All the words converge into two words-Quanzhou. There are a thousand different Quanzhou in the hearts of a thousand people, but it is undeniable that Quanzhou is attracting the world with its unique charm. This city full of market-like atmosphere gives people a sense of comfort and pursuit.

Only by visiting the following places can you truly visit Quanzhou, and you can understand the charm of Citong City.

If you hadn't come to the sea, you wouldn't have been able to understand Quanzhou people's love for the ocean.

The fishing village of Xiutou is very beautiful. The boats here, dressed in the blue of the ocean and with the breath of ocean currents, are anchored on the coast of the bay. The women here decorate the village with colorful colors, dressing up the village with style and uniqueness.

The house here is even more unique. It has oyster shells originating from afar as walls, with ends connected, rows after rows, room after room, in an orderly manner. Despite the baptism of wind and rain, the stacked oyster shells still tenaciously support the crabs.

Close your eyes and touch the texture of the oyster shell and walk slowly. It's like a musician playing a keyboard and passing it casually, and it's a thousand-year melody. It must be telling the story of generations of spring merchants riding the wind and waves.

When it comes to our feelings about our hometown, we often talk about the word "taste". In the eyes of old Quanzhou people, West Street is Quanzhou and the real old Quanzhou. The most delicious place in Quanzhou is West Street.

West Street is the earliest developed street and area in Quanzhou. As early as the Song Dynasty, it already symbolized Quanzhou's prosperity. West Street is also home to various Quanzhou specialty snacks and small, fresh and artistic shops.

In West Street, I really want to have a stomach on it. There are just too many delicious food! Give everyone Amway some delicious restaurants, and everyone can follow them to check in ~

When I come to Quanzhou, there is another place I have to go, and that is Qingyuan Mountain.

Mountains are not high, but immortals are famous. Qingyuan Mountain is named after Yuxian Rock (i.e. Laojun Rock). Lao Tzu manifested his divine power here and transformed into the Three Pure Ones, the Honored Ones of the Origin, the Honored Ones of Lingbao, and the Honored Ones of Moral Ones, making Qingyuan Mountain the "source of the Three Pure Ones".

Qingyuan Mountain has many scenic spots, especially Laojun Rock, Qianshou Rock, Mituo Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Huruquan, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave, Cien Rock and other scenic spots are the most famous.

Facing the breeze, bathing in the sun, and walking briskly, I arrived at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain. Looking around, what comes into view is the lush mountains. Full of vitality, the green trees cover the mountains with bright green clothes. The rolling mountains are like waves in the sea, showing dense overlapping peaks.

However, it is not easy to climb up the mountain road. Fortunately, the road is shaded by trees and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Personally, I think that the most worth seeing are the inscriptions of literati and literati from past dynasties on the mountain climbing. When you turn a corner and look up, you can see the history of the entire mountain.

Climb a steeper road by myself, sweating profusely, and my heart beating faster, but also gained a sense of accomplishment that I had never seen before.

The greatest charm of Qingyuan Mountain is that it can overlook Quanzhou City from the mountain. You can imagine literati from different historical periods in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. From this mountain, they can see a different Quanzhou City.

If you look at the world through your eyes, then the mountains and rivers are gentle, and you are gentle. There are also thousands of gentle scenery that I hope you can see.

The Wudian City we see today is to preserve this historical and cultural memory and the rich ancient buildings left behind at that time. Different architectural types from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China include rammed earth houses and red brick buildings in "Xihong City"., there are foreign buildings that combine Chinese and Western.

"Red brick and white stone double-slope canals, brick out and stone swallowtail ridges", wandering in Wudian City, ancient red brick houses of different ages, different regulations, and scattered heights can be seen everywhere. Strolling leisurely in Wudian City, everywhere you look, you are the precipitation of time, and you are also precipitation in the annual rings of these years.

Hui 'an has three treasures: the ancient city, stone carvings and Hui' an women. However, it seems that when opening up the history of Hui 'an in Quanzhou, only Hui' an women can become the inherent label of "Hui 'an" for most people. On the edge of the East China Sea of Hui 'an, tens of thousands of uniform Hui' an women live in a narrow strip of more than 10 kilometers between the two headlands from Douwei to Dongshan. They gather in the four towns of Chongwu, Shanxia, Jingfeng and Xiaogan. So it was necessary to meet Hui 'an women and appreciate the feelings of the ages.

Hui 'an stone carving has a history of more than 1600 years. It integrates Central Plains culture, Minyue culture, and marine culture. It draws on the essence of the relics of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, the charm of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has the title of "World Stone Carving Capital" and "Hometown of Chinese Architecture","Chinese Sculpture Art Inheritance Base".

Men go out to sea all year round to make a living, and all housework and shore work are undertaken by women. They are famous at home and abroad for their unique costumes and hard-working spirit. "If you want to marry, marry Hui 'an Nu...", the all-round daughter-in-law Hui' an Nu has almost become the "goddess" in the hearts of Fujian men.

The ancient city of Chongwu is one of the more than 60 Weisuo castles built by the Ming government in thousands of miles of sea to fight against the Japanese invasion. Hui 'an once established five cities, namely Chongwu City, Taku City, Xiaoyu City, Huangqi City, and Fengwei City. Chongwu City is one of the five cities and has a history of more than 600 years since its establishment.

Quanzhou relies on the courage to win by loving hard work. It knows more about being modest and low-key, content and self-appreciation, it knows more about the treasure of time, and it knows more about the piety to welcome visitors from all over the world. This is Quanzhou. You will only understand if you have really been here.
