It takes 25 minutes to get to the hotel by taxi from Quanzhou South, about 50. The street view along the way doesn't look like a scenic spot, so I was quite nervous, so I chatted with the driver Ask about the quality of this hotel and its location The driver said that this hotel is not a chain, but is owned by a local boss in Quanzhou. Many locals hold banquets here, and it has a good reputation. In addition, it is not far from the stone lions on West Street in the old city of Quanzhou and is located in the middle (suitable for visiting many attractions in Quanzhou) When we were about to arrive at the hotel, we saw its building appearance and we thought it would be good. The check-in was very efficient and they also gave us a baby toiletries set. After seeing the furnishings in the lobby, I decided to extend my stay for 2 nights (because I originally planned to take a look after arriving) I am very satisfied with the 50-square-meter double room (including 2 breakfasts). Accommodation is arranged. Let's go shopping and eating in Quanzhou for the next two days. I plan to go to West Street tomorrow. Although the internet says it's crowded, I'll go for a walk since I'm here. I want to go to Shishi the day after tomorrow. I haven't made a guide yet, so I'll stay here first. I'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. I don't want to be a special forces soldier. I'll do whatever I encounter. I believe everything is the best arrangement.

In addition to West Street, this lesser-known ancient village in Quanzhou is worth a visit. 🔺It is on the same route as the "Buddhist Kingdom on the Sea" Luojia Temple. You can visit here in the morning and Luojia Temple in the afternoon. 🏛️The ancient village was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of 600 years. It was built by early overseas Chinese who returned to their hometowns. It has traditional Minnan-style ancient houses, ancient Roman-style Western-style buildings, and a combination of Chinese and Western Gothic-style buildings. The history and culture here are a complete slice of the history of the South Seas. After countless storms, it still stands quietly here. I wore a Nyonya dress and walked among the ancient buildings, as if I was dreaming of the South Seas. 🚶｜Travel route Chaodong Building > Gun Tower > Wuceng Nunnery > Kengqiang Building > Qiaopi Museum > Juruo Ancient House Bookstore The village is not very big, and you don't have to stick to the route.

In autumn, the Jin River flows like a poem. I watch the cars come and go on Chengzhou Bridge from the window of the Quanzhou C&D Hotel. The clouds have been there for thousands of years, and the world has changed, but there will always be someone coming to you. This romance and expectation is written for you by the Jin River and Hilton. The Quanzhou C&D Hotel is the 100th hotel opened by Hilton Hotels Group in Greater China, and it opened in 2017. The hotel not only has the sense of ceremony of 100, but also has a very ingenious design, inspired by the elements of the "Ancient Maritime Silk Road" and cleverly integrated with the local culture of southern Fujian, interpreting the cultural characteristics of Quanzhou, "half city of fireworks, half city of immortals, half ancient, half foreign." The shape of the ceiling in the hotel lobby is like undulating waves, or like sails fluttering in the wind, creating the magnificent atmosphere of the merchants of Citing City setting sail. The sunken design at the entrance of the hotel is also quite ingenious, like a group of dragons playing with pearls, with wealth rolling in. The rooms also continue the elements of the Maritime Silk Road in their design, with an overall elegant and stylish look, and the murals at the head of the bed and the blue carpet give a sense of calm and tranquility. When the lights come on, turn off the lights, soak in the bathtub and enjoy the colorful night view outside the window, as if you are wandering in the boundless universe. Or you can walk to the lobby bar, where the bookshelf on the wall has a sense of high mountains, and I think of the poem "The startled geese do not form words, the fallen leaves know autumn best," and I feel the wind gently blowing through my heart. The most important thing to do in Quanzhou is to taste the food here. Although I have been to Quanzhou many times, I was still amazed by the food at the Hometown Chinese Restaurant this time. Quanzhou is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, and the Chinese restaurant is named "Hometown," meaning the feeling of home, full of emotional value. The Hometown Restaurant inherits the ancient cooking tradition, and the traditional southern Fujian cuisine such as ginger duck, earth bamboo shoot jelly, fried five-spice, and fried vinegar meat, as well as other dishes, are all unforgettable. In "Hometown," I tasted "Hometown," and in the Quanzhou C&D Hotel, the Jin River quietly flowed in front of the window, telling a thousand-year-old legend and giving me this romance.

Previously, during a half-day layover in Quanzhou, I discovered a serene corner hidden away from the modern hustle and bustle, about 20 minutes' drive (10 kilometers) from the airport—Wulin Traditional Village. Unlike the bustling West Street adorned with flowers, it quietly stands there, with its distinctive red brick and white stone buildings that blend Minnan and Nanyang styles, telling the story of overseas Chinese's love for their homeland. · 🌲Before entering the village, you can see towering phoenix trees from afar, with their fiery red flowers in full bloom, seemingly welcoming visitors from afar and calling out to wanderers. 🏠Upon entering the village, you will see rows of red brick and white stone buildings, with various deities and mythical creatures on the swallowtail ridges, each with its own unique features. 🏰As you go further in, you will see Western-style buildings such as the Chaodong Building, the Spanish-style Qiaopi Museum built with red bricks, and the Roman-style Western-style building "Gun Tower". They all bear witness to the overseas Chinese who ventured out to explore the new world but never forgot their homeland and gave back to their hometown. 🌟Recommended spots to check out: ✅Chaodong Building ✅Qiaopi Museum ✅Gun Tower ✅Five-story House ✅Juruo Ancient House Bookstore. Ladies can also change into Peranakan costumes here to experience the Nanyang style.
