🌸 Immerse Yourself in Seaside Florals & Tradition at Xunpu Village! 🏝️
Step into a living canvas at Quanzhou’s Xunpu Village, where women in vibrant flower crowns stroll narrow lanes, and the salty breeze carries the mouthwatering scent of fresh seafood noodles. If you crave culture, history, and authentic flavor, this is your must-stop destination.
Your route: Stroll through winding alleys lined with oyster-shell houses, snap candid shots of locals wearing those signature flower garlands (yes, you can get your own and totally join in!), and watch artisans prepping seafood right on the street. The bustling, friendly vibe is contagious—and don’t be shy! Locals love sharing stories and flower-arranging tips.
Must-dos:
– Savor a bowl of seafood noodles from a family-run stall (expect to pay just $2.5–$4 per bowl—and trust me, they’re worth every bite).
– Try arranging your own floral headpiece for ultra-local flair.
– Chat with the friendly villagers to hear tales about centuries-old fishing rituals and unique customs.
Insta-worthy shots:
– Posed in your floral crown against a backdrop of oyster-shell walls.
– Piping-hot noodles loaded with plump seafood.
– Alley scenes bustling with flower-crowned locals.
Tips:
Open all-day, year-round—visit early morning for the freshest food and quietest streets. 
Precautions:
Some streets are uneven, so comfy shoes are a must
