I never thought that the most satisfying thing about traveling to Quanzhou would be...hairpins

I took my family to Quanzhou for a trip during the Spring Festival holiday. There are so many things to complain about. It may be because I didn’t make a good plan and didn’t arrange my time well, but the only thing that makes me feel gratified is that the hairpin photos I took of my family are really amazing! 🗺️Travel route: Kaiyuan Temple - West Street - Zhongshan Street - Confucian Temple 🚗Transportation: Parking is inconvenient when driving during the Spring Festival. We parked at the 🅿️Quanzhou Hotel near the Confucian Temple. There are many taxis here. They will stop when you wave. 💰2/person. ✅Kaiyuan Temple Tickets: Free, you can check in at the red wall ✅West Street: West Street is just outside Kaiyuan Temple. You can stroll around. There are a lot of people during holidays. Some snacks are actually similar. It is more convenient to eat at a restaurant with children. ✅Zhongshan Street-Quanzhou Confucian Temple Tickets🎫: Free, Confucius Temple, many children will go there before the college entrance examination... Friends who have exams and need to get a job can go and have a look~ ✅Hairpin Cost: 💰128/person (makeup + clothes + hairpin) + 200 deposit We wore hairpins near the Confucian Temple in the afternoon. Because it was a temporary arrangement, the bosses were very vague when asked. 💰40/60 includes hairpins and clothes (hairpins and makeup are also priced separately, sisters remember to ask clearly), we took the photos ourselves, and did not hire a photographer! ⚠️It is recommended to bring your own makeup. You need to queue up for hairpin makeup, so if you want to take hairpin photos, you can go there early to do your makeup. There are many people and you need to queue up. There are more beautiful clothes in the morning and more choices. 📷Photography location: All the photos were taken near the Confucian Temple. The sunshine at around 4pm was really photogenic! The red color really stands out! I love this set of photos taken for my family. The sunshine is really good and the photos look great. They go well with the Confucian Temple! ✅🍽️Food recommendations: West Street Commercial Street is easy to go wrong and there are a lot of people! It is not recommended to bring children! ✔️Restaurants recommended by locals: Stan Ginger Duck, Jinpo Ginger Duck, Dongxing Beef Shop, Auntie Hou's Braised Pork Zongzi, Bingzhengtang Four Fruit Soup, Chun Ge Teppanyaki (Recommended Ginkgo, you can buy one on the way), Noodle Soup Quanzhou snacks are really delicious and very appetizing! Nan Qilin Restaurant: Great for lunch, good environment but high prices, the dishes are excellent. 🔖Intimate tips: ✅Be careful when queuing during holidays, it really takes too much time ✅If you bring your kids, you can bring a baby stroller, the attractions are concentrated, it is very tiring👣 ✅You can also wear your own clothes when taking photos with flowers, new Chinese style, cheongsam, both are very photogenic!
