2025 Jinjiang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#Quanzhou #travel🧳 #honeytrip #register for February hotel sleeper 2025 Quanzhou that never looks back Shenzhen North High-speed Railway 🚄 to Quanzhou On the first day, Quanzhou Station went directly to West Street for a stroll. There is a luggage storage place in West Street. Tenzen Temple (with Buddha words for photo)📷 - Bell Tower 📍Address: Do you have any songs? Hotel recommendation: Jinjiangjiang Macaulay Hotel 🏨 Very good Past night market 10 minutes Sunshine Night Market (the hotel has a massage spa is good, there are many places to eat nearby) Day 2: Floating Rock Hidden Cafe) Ko Jeju🤦🏼♀️ * Coffee shop taxi to the scene in the mountains 🤣 not worth it, but the scenery to take pictures 📷 indeed good 👍🏻 - Yushawan Park - Loga Temple - Gold Coast - Red Tower Bay sunset 🌅 Day 3: Went to the celebrity checkpoint Xiaoweihai (pier) is actually average. There is just a slope (not recommended) It is recommended to spend a little more time walking around Wulin Ancient Village, there is a car at the toilet door you can sit in without walking 🚶♀️ (round trip ticket $ 9/person) Return at the drop-off point wait for the bus to go out before you can take a taxi.

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. Every corner has a different view. ▪️Chaodong Building Start your tour of the village here. There is a village history exhibition in the building. The whole building is a three-story Western-style building, consisting of the main building, the auxiliary building, and the dome gate on the right. The chairs and door heads in the courtyard are great for taking photos. ▪️Gun Tower Also known as the "Xiuyang Building", you can climb up the building to overlook the ancient village. It was also a fortress for the villagers to defend the village. The outer wall clearly shows the bullet holes from many years ago (there is a fee to go upstairs now). ▪️Qiaopi Museum Also known as the "Shunyi Building", it is currently the post office building. It is a Spanish-style building made of Minnan red bricks. The second floor is the same location as the Sisters Who Make Waves, where you can take panoramic photos of the village. ▪️Juruo Ancient House Bookstore A two-story ancient building with unique features, both upstairs and downstairs are great for taking photos. ▪️Every corner is full of the atmosphere of the South Seas. You don't have to stick to a certain attraction, as there are unique views everywhere. 📍: Wulin Traditional Ancient Village 🎫: Free 🚗: About 35 minutes from the city center

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. What impressed me the most was a coffee shop here where the latte art was actually the God of Wealth, truly reflecting the Fujian people's love and longing for wealth . 👉Directions: 📌Wulin Traditional Village, Jinjiang, Quanzhou 🚗About 20 minutes by taxi from Quanzhou Airport, about 40 minutes by car from the city center 🎫No entrance fee, there is a shuttle bus at the entrance to the village (about a 10-minute walk from the entrance to the village) · I am Gungun, a middle-aged girl who loves photography and hopes to share various experiences along the way with you. May you set off with anticipation after seeing Gungun's sharing and return with joy.

Don't just know to go to West Street and Zanhua when you go to Quanzhou~😆 If you want to avoid the crowd and feel the Minnan ancient house style, 🛖 you must go to this Nanyang ancient village in Quanzhou that has a history of 600 years‼️ 📍Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village 🎫No tickets required 🚗I took a taxi from the airport after getting off the plane, it only takes 15 minutes, and it takes about 50 minutes from Quanzhou city The buildings here are very distinctive, 📷 there are many photo spots, and you can also experience the Nyonya costume, which can better integrate into the scene. 📷Share my machine position, but there are more beautiful places that you can discover while walking around✅ 👉Chaodong Building, Five-story House, Pit Wall Building, Stage, Bridge Batch Hall, Gun Building, etc. I personally suggest that you can rush here the day you get off the ✈️ plane or the day you are going to fly away, leaving 2-3h is enough, because it is very close to the airport and will not detour.

#Mainland China Hotels #China Travel #Mainland China Attractions The hotel is right next to Jinjiang Airport, but this time we took the high-speed rail to Jinjiang Station and then took a 20-minute car ride to reach the hotel. The location is very convenient and very suitable for travelers who have an early flight or arrive late at night and want to rest immediately. This hotel is high-end, with a bright, simple and modern lobby. This time I stayed in a business king-size room, which cost around 400, which I think is very cost-effective. The room is spacious and comfortable, well-equipped and clean. The waiter's attitude is also very friendly. The breakfast options and quality are average, but I will definitely stay here again if I come to Jinjiang next time. Overall personal experience rating 4.5/5 ⭐

Wudianshi Traditional Blocks, is a park in Jinjiang City, Quanzhou, China. It is located in Qingyan, the old town of Jinjiang City, and was considered as the birthplace of the city. Wudianshi Traditional Block is full of cultural relics and historical buildings, such as ancestral shrines, temples, private houses and stores. From TPE Taoyuan International Airport, Shenzhen Airlines has a daily frequency direct flight to Jinjiang City. The flying time is about an hour. I stayed at the Hollyston Hotel, just less than 2 kilometers from the airport. Wudianshi Traditional Blocks is a walking distance from the hotel.

I came to Quanzhou because of a song, the classic Minnan dialect song "Only by Working Hard Can You Win". This song best represents Quanzhou, and it is also a true portrayal of Quanzhou people's courage to fight and challenge the difficulties in life. If you have visited the crowded ancient city of Quanzhou, you can spend some time in the traditional street area of ​​Wudianshi in Jinjiang. Jinjiang Wudianshi Traditional Street District is located in Wudianshi Street District, Meiling Street, Jinjiang City, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. It is close to Tang'an Street, adjacent to Century Avenue, backed by Qingmei Mountain, and connected to Jinjiang Wanda Plaza. It covers an area of ​​126 acres. The Wudian City here is not an administrative county or city, but a block that displays the red brick houses with southern Fujian characteristics. It is also the largest red brick house complex in southern Fujian and is known as the Southern Fujian Red Brick Ancient House Museum. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, five seventh-generation descendants of the Cai family opened five restaurants on the official road at the foot of Qingyang Mountain to facilitate pedestrians. With wine flags fluttering in the wind and fragrant food wafting in the air, the restaurant became famous and was praised as "Qingyang Cai, Wudianshi". Since then, "Wudianshi" has become another name for Qingyang, and it has become the birthplace of the city of Jinjiang. The traditional streets of Wudianshi have more than 100 buildings with unique Minnan characteristics, such as the "Imperial Palace", "Red Brick House", and the combination of Chinese and Western styles. These buildings are well preserved, such as the Cai Clan Ancestral Hall, the Zhuang Clan Ancestral Temple, the Shigu Temple, the Provincial Government Office, Cai Maxian's House, Chaobei House, Zhuang Zhixu's House, Wanran Villa, and more than 100 historical buildings. Every house here has its own story. 📍Detailed address: No. 201, Nanshan Road, Wudianshi District, Meiling Street, Jinjiang City, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province 🚉Transportation strategy: 1️⃣{Depart from Quanzhou Ancient City or Quanzhou Railway Station}. The journey is long and there are many bus transfers.

Jinjiang Airport in Quanzhou isn't very large. Setting aside 1.5 hours before your flight is generally sufficient. If you don't want to waste any time before your flight, we recommend you save the following itinerary: - 📷Explore Wudian City Wudian City in Jinjiang is definitely worth a visit. It brings together the finest examples of Minnan traditional architecture (Gu Dacuo) and distinctive colonial-era buildings (Fanzai Lou). Inside Wudian City, you'll find trendy cafes, tea houses, cultural and creative stores, and plenty of Instagram-worthy photo spots. You can also take photos of the popular "Zan Hua" hair ornaments here. Wudian City isn't very big; you can explore the whole area in about an hour. - ☕️Enjoy a Trendy Coffee There are many unique cafes worth recommending around Jinjiang Airport. My personal favorite is Coffee No. 12, located inside Wudian City. Their terrace is a fantastic spot for taking photos. The coffee is also reasonably priced, averaging around CNY 20-50 per person. - 🍴Dine at an Authentic Restaurant Just one intersection away from Jinjiang Airport is Xin Yue Xi Banquet Hall. It's truly one of the most highly recommended Minnan restaurants among Jinjiang locals. A 45-year-old establishment, it has a stellar reputation. The restaurant has a large storefront in a standalone building, making it easy to find. It offers authentic Minnan cuisine, especially the Quanzhou-style Misua (thin wheat noodles) and deep-fried spiced rolls (Wu Xiang). We also highly recommend the Hetan Chicken stewed with bamboo fungus and the Ginger Duck, both of which are their signature dishes. If you're craving seafood, this is also a great choice. You can select fresh seafood at the counter and have it prepared on the spot. - When you visit Quanzhou, don't just limit yourself to West Street. Jinjiang is also well worth exploring. If you're traveling to or from Jinjiang Airport, consider these options around the airport.

I've been to Wudian City Traditional Block in Jinjiang twice before, and this time I wanted to show my companions the unique combination of overseas Chinese culture, traditional residential architecture, and folk customs. Twelve kilometers away from Wudian City, there is another ancient residential area, Wulin, which is similar to Wudian City and is also a traditional residential village influenced by overseas Chinese culture. The traditional swallowtail ridges of red brick houses are characteristic of traditional Minnan residential buildings. Since modern times, these coastal areas have gradually become hometowns for overseas Chinese. Influenced by Nanyang culture, many buildings have various European styles, known as "Fan Zai Lou" (foreigner's buildings). There is a two-story Western-style building in the village, also built by an overseas Chinese returning home, which is now used as an exhibition hall for Qiaopi (overseas Chinese letters). In the early days, it was very inconvenient for overseas Chinese to contact their families and send money back home, so specialized agencies gradually emerged to carry letters and remittances for them, similar to a combination of today's post office and underground banks. Qiaopi culture is very popular in the overseas Chinese hometowns of Fujian and Guangdong, and it also carries emotions and history. One of the purposes of this trip to Chaoshan was to visit the Qiaopi Museum in Shantou, but I didn't expect to see it here. Unlike Wudian City, which is located in the center of the bustling city, Wulin is not so noisy. During holidays when there are many people and cars, there is a parking lot at the entrance of the village, and a sightseeing bus costs 10 yuan per person from the parking lot to the village. Usually, you can drive directly into the village. Huashan Ancient Residential Area is more than three kilometers away from Wulin Ancient Residential Area. It is similar to Wudian City Traditional Block and Wulin Ancient Residential Area, but it is smaller in scale and has fewer buildings. It also offers some agricultural picking projects, so you can visit it along the way. Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village

Here's an introduction to Huafeng Village's Zhenhai Palace in Jinjiang City: History - Zhenhai Palace was first built in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. Its predecessor was called "Shuwanggong Palace," which is related to the discovery of an ancient underwater forest nearby. - In 1847 (the 27th year of the Daoguang Emperor's reign), the elders of Shijiaoliao initiated the reconstruction of a new palace and renamed it Zhenhai Palace. - In the first month of 1994, the expansion project began, and after two years, it reached its current scale. Architectural Layout and Scale - Zhenhai Palace is located in Huafeng Village, Shenhu Town. It is divided into areas for enshrined deities, temple fair activities, office reception, and leisure and fitness facilities. It features a five-bay, three-entrance, and double-wing layout, mainly consisting of a front hall, main hall, side rooms, wing rooms, and a rear hall. It is complemented by a boat deity hall, a welcoming building, a mountain gate, two opera stages (east and west), two pavilions (left and right), and a square. - The total area of the temple buildings is 3,530 square meters, with the main hall covering 1,740 square meters. The total area of the temple grounds is over 70 mu, making it one of the largest temples in Jinjiang.

❤Recommendation: Jiao Shi Hotel, built on natural reefs by the sea in Quanzhou, features pure white design architecture connected to the sea, resembling a stunning seaside painting. Selected as a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it perfectly showcases the cultural heritage of Southern Fujian. Facilities such as a suspended infinity pool, gym, cigar room, and tea pavilion are all available. It is especially suitable for architecture enthusiasts and travelers who enjoy seaside vacations. 🌟Highlights: The lobby area next to the front desk is designed in a Southern French style. Paired with the endless sea outside the window, it feels like being abroad. I often came down here to sit, daydream, and quietly watch the sea. I recommend coming here to take photos in the blue hour and in the morning. The dark blue sky complements the interior lighting design, creating a charming atmosphere as if on a cruise ship. In the morning, direct sunlight streams in, perfectly showcasing the building's light and shadow, making every shot a beautiful architectural scene. 🛏Room Facilities: I found the room design particularly comfortable. As soon as I opened the door, I could see the sea. All amenities and supplies are luxuriously appointed. What impressed me most was the handwritten welcome card from the general manager, a truly sincere touch. I tried the restaurants in the nearby village. The seafood there is affordable and plentiful, and the taste is also quite good, offering great value. 🍽Dining Recommendations: Dinner was Western food at the hotel restaurant. The taste of the Western food was worthy of the price; it's among the top ten best I've had. I especially enjoyed the breakfast here.

Last week, I took my little one on a trip around Quanzhou and stumbled upon the Metropolo Jinjiang Hotel. It turned out to be the most pleasant surprise of the whole trip! - ▫️A Detail-Oriented Paradise 💖The bedding was incredibly soft and fluffy, like sinking into a cloud. The soundproofing was amazing (double-glazed windows + earplugs), so I could finally binge-watch my shows in peace while my little one napped. 💡The most heartwarming moment was when I casually asked the front desk for sanitary pads during my period. Ten minutes later, they not only brought me pads but also a warm cup of brown sugar ginger tea! My husband couldn't help but say, "This service is even better than a mom's…" - ▫️Breakfast & Late-Night Snacks for the Whole Family My little one dragged me to the restaurant at 7:30 am, and to my surprise, they had freshly cooked Jinjiang noodle soup! I had three bowls, and my kid wouldn't leave without finishing their cartoon-shaped buns. The best part was the late-night snack time (8:00 pm-10:00 pm) with free noodle soup. Slurping down a bowl of hot shacha noodles after a long day of playing was pure bliss. - ▫️A Farewell Surprise Straight Out of a Rom-Com On our way back, my little one left their toy in the room, and we only realized it after we arrived at the airport! I called the front desk, and they actually searched the entire room to find it. They even asked a driver to deliver it to the airport within half an hour! Seeing the breathless driver, I was so touched that I wanted to write a 10,000-word essay praising the hotel… - 【Nearby Fun with Kids】(all within a 15-minute drive) ❶ Zimou Mountain Zihu Country Park (Free!) Cherry blossoms all over the mountain + a children's playground. My little one chased butterflies for two hours. ❷ Touching Sandbar of Tangdong Village (Hidden Gem) Take your kids to dig for small crabs during low tide. The sandbar stretching into the sea is incredibly healing. ❸ Wudian City Traditional Cultural Area (Stunning Night View) Stroll through the Minnan red brick houses in the evening. My little one loved the earthworm jelly and vegetable cakes in the snack street. ✨Tips： ✅ Book a family room a week in advance, including breakfast for only 400+ ✅ You can borrow strollers/children's tableware from the front desk to lighten your load. ✅ Free Hanfu experience on Thursdays. My little one took lots of cute photos in a small ruqun. - I'm a huge fan of this hotel! Every detail was perfect. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Jinjiang! -
