I just came back from Quanzhou and I have something to say

I took a taxi from Xiamen to Wulin and started my trip to Quanzhou
Although Wulin is in Jinjiang, it is also considered part of Quanzhou because it is near Quanzhou South Station.
D1 Wulin Traditional Village
The houses built by overseas Chinese are very unique.
Take a taxi to Juruo Gold Coast Hotel and check in
30 minutes walk to Luojia Temple
(I couldn't understand the tide table, so I asked the restaurant owner, who said that the high tide is basically at noon recently)
I walked around the beach briefly and had some seafood. It was very comfortable. Not much. Very leisurely.
D2 visited Yongning Ancient City in the morning
The ancient city is quiet and has few people. The ancient city and its residents live in harmony, adding a touch of fireworks to the dilapidated ancient city.
I quite like it here.
Take a taxi to Quanzhou at noon
Check in to InterContinental Quanzhou InterContinental Quanzhou
Clean, good facilities, excellent service, highly recommended
Right next to the Ferris wheel. Good location.
It takes about 20 minutes by taxi to West Street
Quanzhou is a huge tourist explosion
There were a lot of people praying. I wanted to go to Guanyue Temple to ask for a fortune, but there were so many people crowded together that I couldn't get in, so I just prayed briefly.
The feeling of West Street is a commercial pedestrian street
The cultural landscape is hidden in the alleys, but the alleys are full of tourists
The overall experience is a bit bad.
In the afternoon, I arrived at the rooftop of 7fun and waited for the puppet show. I almost heard Nanyin. The teachers arrived, but the tourists who had booked the show were stuck in traffic, so it was a bit disappointing.
7fun's puppet show is a hand puppet, not a string puppet.
The performance was still wonderful
D3 Haopu Village + Luoyang Bridge
When you come to Quanzhou, wearing a hairpin is a must.
The auntie who helped with the hairpin was very nice. Since we went there around 8 o'clock and there weren't many people around, I chatted with them for a while hahahaha
But should I say that the entire Haopu Village has been monopolized by various photo studios
I have never seen a place where there are photo studios everywhere. And most of them are wearing horse-faced skirts, which are not traditional clothes. I don't understand this phenomenon.
I like to go to a place and take photos of local characteristics.
But when everything becomes the same, it's meaningless
This is getting off topic
Luoyang Bridge is really the crystallization of ancient people's wisdom
I always feel that the ancients were smarter than us hahahaha
It seems to be confirmed again on Luoyang Bridge
The most common thing they said to each other was
Quanzhou is a good place
But it should not be built in the same way as a cookie-cutter internet celebrity city.
