Follow the melody of "Quanzhou" and go on a date with Citong City

"I still remember the time we spent together walking through every street in Quanzhou..." When the melody of "Quanzhou" by Cao An sounded in my ears, Quanzhou, this ancient and charming city, planted a seed of yearning in my heart. Finally, I packed my bags and headed to this "Office of the Gods", starting a journey of in-depth dialogue with Quanzhou. Strolling through the streets and alleys of Quanzhou, every stone slab tells a thousand-year-old story. I abandoned the hasty clocking in like a special forces soldier, and instead put on headphones, letting the melodious tunes interweave with the ancient charm of Quanzhou, and immersing myself in the city’s profound historical heritage. 【West Street】: A picture of fireworks in West Street [West Street] is undoubtedly the most representative old street in Quanzhou. Stepping into West Street is like stepping into a time tunnel. The quaint arcade buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and the swallowtail ridges in the southern Fujian style shine with an ancient light in the sun. The shops along the street are full of goods, and the aroma of rice dumplings and spring rolls wafts in the air. Here, I slow down and savor every detail. Just like what is sung in the song "Quanzhou", it seems as if one can see the busy figures of people in the past walking around on this street. Walk into a traditional teahouse, order a cup of fragrant tea, and listen to the elderly people at the next table chatting in the Minnan dialect. The strong atmosphere of life will make you intoxicated. 【Tumen Street】: A fusion of diverse cultures Tumen Street [Tumen Street] is home to many religious buildings, exuding a unique multicultural charm. When I stepped onto this street, the lyrics of "Are there still people coming and going on Tumen Street?" rang in my mind. As expected, the streets were bustling with traffic. The magnificent Qingjing Mosque has a typical Arabic architectural style, and the exquisite stone carvings tell of the prosperity and exchanges of the past. The Guandi Temple at the corner is bustling with incense and believers pray devoutly. As I strolled through the place, I felt the harmonious coexistence of different religious cultures, and every step I took was based on the fusion of history and reality. Seaside: Romantic Luojia Temple where you can meet the first ray of sunshine Hongta Bay Coast Park Xiangzhi Xiangnong Wharf "Holding hands and watching the first ray of sunshine on the coast", when the first ray of sunshine shines on the sea, the sparkling sea water is dyed golden, which is beautiful like a dream. The sea breeze gently caresses your cheeks, bringing the unique scent of the sea. In the distance, several fishing boats slowly sailed into the distance, outlining a beautiful seaside picture. At this moment, I seemed to be hugging the soul of this city. Traveling in Quanzhou is a baptism of the soul. Every landscape in this city perfectly matches the melody of the song "Quanzhou". If you also yearn for a unique trip, you might as well follow the footsteps of this song and come to Quanzhou to experience its unique charm. I believe you will also fall deeply in love with this city full of stories. As the song "Quanzhou" goes, "Maybe we have all forgotten the vows we made at that time, but your name still touches my heartstrings." Quanzhou, this city full of love, I will definitely come back again to continue our story.
