Longhai, a seriously underestimated city, is more lively than Quanzhou, more fun to visit, and better to eat. There are more natives and fewer tourists. If you are afraid of crowds but want to experience the life of the city
Don't miss this small town full of surprises, Longhai
🚉Transportation strategy:
It is recommended to take a taxi or rent a car after arriving in Zhangzhou/Xiamen, which is a half-hour drive.
Public transportation takes a long time and is not recommended.
Longhai One-day Tour Route
Fanzilou - Shima Ancient City - Gulin Temple - Hougang Ancient Street attractions are all free
This is a one-day tour route suitable for visiting the characteristic ancient buildings and the lively town, and for easily exploring Longhai.
Recommended reasons:
1Daimei Ancient Village
Daimei, a water town with Fujian style, is a "living fossil" of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The 276 ancient dwellings on Yanwei Ridge are neatly arranged and arranged in an orderly manner along a central axis. The old houses all face south and the new houses all face north.
February Port Ancient Town
Stepping onto the cobblestone road and walking into the old streets and alleys, you will see the ancient houses with green tiles, white walls and sail-shaped structures, each with two strings of red lanterns hanging in front of their doors. Different from other places, every household here hangs a "Zhu Zi curtain" in front of the door, vividly displaying the traditional culture. The old site of Yuegang is in Douxiang Village. Yuegang Ancient Street, Yanhai Tower, Fanxiang, Yuegang Shipyard and other attractions are all nearby. It can be completed in an hour or two.
3Shima Old Street
I personally think that Shima Old Street is a gathering place for Longhai’s local delicacies. The old-style arcade buildings are also particularly suitable for filming.
📝Note tips:
1. Daimei is close to Yuegang and Shima. It seems very close on the map, but it seems that public transportation is not very convenient.
2 There are local shared electric vehicles in Longhai City. You need to register on the mini program, and the fee is a little more expensive than other electric vehicles on the market.
3 It is very convenient to ride a shared bike to visit Longhai, and you can also lock the bike temporarily
