In winter, rushing does not belong to Quanzhou. It requires you to stop. Even if you just look at the clouds every day, you will feel peaceful and peaceful.

Tour routes: West Street--Baishuiying Park--Qingyuan Mountain--West Lake Park

Quanzhou in early winter did not disappoint us. The blue sky was clear, white clouds were blooming, and the weather was warm. Walking in the West Street makes people feel energetic and energetic!

The first thing you must do when visiting Quanzhou's ancient city is to collect delicious food! Look! These southern Fujian delicacies are so much to my appetite that they have completely "captured" my stomach!

▲ Quanzhou meat rice dumplings, come with a big meat rice dumpling in the morning, and you will be full of energy all day ~~~

▲ Ginger duck, the duck meat is stewed very delicious. The ginger is spicy but not strong at all. On the contrary, it improves the taste of the duck meat and tastes very chewy.

▲ Taro cake, take a bite of the hot taro cake. The taro is very soft and moderately sweet.

Kaiyuan Temple was built during the Wu Zetian Period of the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1300 years. It is the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian Province. Located in a busy city, you can find peace in the chaos.

The Twin Towers of Kaiyuan Temple are the tallest pair of stone towers in China. They still stand tall despite the tests of a magnitude 8 earthquake in Quanzhou and many typhoons during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. The tower body is beautifully embossed, recording Buddhist stories one after another.

Kaiyuan Temple, a quiet place in the busy city, has red walls and flying eaves and ancient banyan trees covering the sky. Sitting on the ground can wash away all impetuousness and uneasiness.

Chengtian Temple is also known as the "Yuntai Temple". No matter how noisy the streets outside are, when you step into the temple, your heart will slowly calm down, as if the chaos in the world is blocked by the high walls of these temples.

The Confucian Temple is almost obvious at a glance. It is a Confucian Temple complex that combines the architectural forms of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Many of the people who come to the Confucian Temple to pray are students. The final exam is coming soon. By the way, I wish you all success in your studies and a bright future!

I previously saw on the Internet that my friends had a "secret park" in Amway-Baishuiying Park. Sure enough, it was so beautiful that I didn't want to go home after wandering here.

As soon as you enter the park, the vast grassland comes into your eyes. The slope of about 40° and the sky in the distance form a comfortable view. Not many people enter the garden in early winter, and the slightly yellowed grassland is a gentle touch left by winter.

Baishuiying Park is built along the Jinjiang River, connecting Beifeng Garden on the top and Sunjiang Garden on the bottom. I was really shocked when I came to the riverside, not only because of the free and open river scenery, but also because of this nearly 2-meter-high reed swamp.

The yellow leaves make people completely forget that they are in the south. The deep and light winter colors surround them, and their breathing and footsteps unconsciously slow down.

Walking forward, a rainbow suddenly came into view. The colorful slide was like a rainbow, protruding from the ground. The seven colors are colorful and gorgeous, allowing you to exercise and take photos, and you can do whatever you like.

Tip Transportation Tips: You can enter by car from the main entrance of Zhongbao Dry Gate opposite Shuian Holiday on Jiangbin North Road; you can take Quanzhou Waterline Bus Line B (starting and ending at the Affiliated Middle School of Beijing Normal University and Xihu Park)

"The benevolent Leshan, the wise enjoy the water" Qingyuan Mountain north of Citong is the best place for Quanzhou people to regain the joy of mountains and rivers.

▲ Overlooking Qingyuan Mountain from the ancient city of Quanzhou

Route: Laojun Rock → Wisdom Tianjie → Yuanyuan Cave → Jianlong Terrace → "Taoist Holy Land" → Master Hongyi's Sheli Pagoda → Thousand Hand Rock

Laojun Rock is the soul of Qingyuan Mountain."Quanzhou Prefectural Annals" said that "the stone statues are naturally made of nature, and those who do things carefully carve them." A natural stone was slightly carved by skilled craftsmen into today's Laojun Rock. The so-called "Tao Tao and nature" may mean Laojun Yan.

After Lao Jun's "instructions", he walked upwards along the winding "wisdom heavenly steps" and stepped on the stone road. He was surrounded by lush leaf-leaf fig trees intertwined, like a natural labyrinth, attracting people to explore.

A cave was discovered-"Yuanyuan Cave", which looks like an inverted ingot."Yuanyuan Cave" has been a place for Taoist priests to cultivate and comprehend enlightenment since ancient times. They sit here and practice cultivation and feel the sound of heaven and earth.

Further up is Jianlong Terrace. It is said that this is the place where the great immortal Lu Dongbin climbed high and looked into the distance. When he saw Lao Tzu manifest his divine power, he shouted,"See the Dragon."

Overlooking Quanzhou City from Jianlongtai is also a good choice.

Along the way, there are many cliff stone carvings on both sides of the climbing path. Qingyuan Mountain is known as the "Holy Land of Taoism". The "Holy Land of Taoism" inscribed by Zhang Ruitu, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, provides the best commentary on the Taoist culture of Qingyuan Mountain.

▲ A touch of freshness in Qingyuan Mountain. I heard that this is the place for young ladies to check in.

After passing Suqiao, a spacious stone courtyard came into view. This was the location of Master Hong Yi's stupa. When you approached and looked at the stupa, you suddenly felt a supreme coolness filled your entire body.

On the rock near the stupa, a stone statue sits cross-legged on it. The master's face was thin, his eyes were flat, and his slightly knitted brows seemed to be observing everything in the world.

After meeting with Hiroichi, he walked towards Chihandi Rock. Qianshou Rock is also known as Guanyin Rock. On the rock next to the mountain road, there is a stone tablet erected with the inscription "The First Mountain", which records a story from south to north.

Winter is a good time to admire maple leaves. The layers of forest are dyed, giving Qingyuan Mountain a different kind of "red".

The sun is warm in early winter, and now it is just time to visit the ancient city. Only by walking in Qingyuan Mountain, meeting Quanzhou, and meeting history can a winter be complete.
