Zhangzhou Old Town is a place steeped in history. Walking through its ancient streets, you can almost hear stories from the past. Its narrow streets are lined with well-preserved traditional Southern Fujian architecture, with red brick walls and green tiled roofs. Every detail exudes a strong sense of local character. The ancient city gate, in particular, evokes a sense of time travel, a truly captivating experience. The old town is filled with small shops selling local handicrafts and snacks. You can savor authentic Zhangzhou delicacies like shacha noodles and fried spring rolls, which are incredibly flavorful.
