The weather forecast says Quanzhou will be rainy/cloudy/overcast?
But in reality: Every day is a surprisingly sunny day!
Especially the sunset in the ancient city in the evening, which dyes the entire sky into an orange sea.
It's so beautiful that you'll want to pause time!!!
✨Best sunset chasing spot recommendation
📍Rooftop of No. 33, Xin Street, next to West Street [Sanshisan Homestay]
This can be called one of the best ancient city sunset viewing platforms!
✔️Facing the Twin Towers of Kaiyuan Temple, with red walls and flying eaves reflecting the golden sunset
✔️360° unobstructed view, you can see the clouds gradually changing from pink and purple to orange and red
✔️There are small chairs on the rooftop, it's so chill to lie down and watch the sunset…
📸Photo Tips
▫️Arrive at the rooftop 1 hour before sunset, first take photos of the blue hour and then wait for the golden light
▫️For portrait photography, you can wear white/light-colored clothes, and the silhouette taken against the light is super atmospheric
💡Hidden tricks
▪️You can go to the beverage store or coffee shop outside West Street and bring a drink upstairs
▪️After watching the sunset, walk 5 minutes to West Street, where you can find all kinds of Southern Fujian delicacies
Who says you can't chase the light on a cloudy day?
Come to Quanzhou to unlock the romance of the "weather forecast scam"
On the rooftop of the ancient city, knead the afterglow of the sunset into your travel memories~
