I thought Quanzhou was beautiful enough until I encountered Putian, which is adjacent to it

When mentioning Putian, people always talk about its manufacturing industry
But actually, as a tourist destination
There are still many places to play
If you don't want to go to Quanzhou and squeeze with the crowd
Putian is a good niche destination
Because the weather was bad when I went
I couldn't go to Meizhou Island, I'll find another chance to go next time
.
🔸Banfu Sheng Tea Garden
The tea garden is located halfway up the mountain, with a quiet environment
Facing Dongzun Reservoir, backed by green mountains
It's suitable to come in the evening to drink tea and watch the sunset
Just in summer 🦟 there are a bit too many mosquitoes, remember to bring mosquito repellent
.
🔸Xinghua Ancient Street
The ancient street at night 🏮 is full of flickering lights and bustling crowds
It feels like walking into the thousand-year-old prosperous years of Putian
It's not very commercial, but it's not very large in scale either
.
🔸Guqiao Tower
It looks a bit like Chaoyang Tower in Jianshui
And also a bit like Tiananmen in Beijing
There is a very neat square dance in the square opposite at night
.
🔸Nanshan Guanghua Temple
A thousand-year-old temple, one of the "Four Great Forests of Fujian"
Shakyamuni Buddha Pagoda, Stone Sutra Pillar, and Zheng Sanxian Ancestral Hall
The stone pagoda is very similar to the stone pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou
It's suitable for a slow stroll of 2-3 hours
.
🔸Dongshan Baoen Temple
The stone pagoda in the temple is 68 years earlier than the Shakyamuni Buddha Pagoda
It has stood firm through a thousand years of vicissitudes and an 8-magnitude earthquake
There are many controversial little "stories" here
