Strolling through Quanzhou, one can gaze at the East and West Pagodas and walk along a vibrant and fragrant avenue of everyday life

🚶Stepping out of Kaiyuan Temple, you immediately return to the bustling human world. The lively West Street is located here, marking the start of a leisurely journey of exploration and gastronomy. As the sun sets, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful, with architecture and food that embody the spirit of life. ————————— Name: West Street Address: Intersection of Chengxi Road and West Street, Licheng District, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province Open: All day Admission: Free ————————— 🚶Entering West Street, one first experiences the prosperity of Quanzhou that has been passed down since the Song Dynasty. The well-preserved ancient street district, more than 20 protected sites, and dazzling array of gourmet shops, along with various photogenic spots along the way, create the unique, enthusiastic atmosphere of West Street. 🌟Bustling with activity, a sea of people Walking on West Street, the crowd is dense and never-ending. The popularity here is truly unmatched, with people's enthusiastic smiles, the satisfaction of holding street snacks, and the casual poses with cameras all contributing to the unique scenery. Tourists come from afar, and locals also regard it as a great place for leisurely strolls, creating a lively atmosphere with their overwhelming presence. 🌟A city half filled with life, Quanzhou cuisine Every few meters, one is greeted with an array of food stalls and trendy shops that are too many to take in at once. Local time-honored specialty foods, delicately decorated trendy snacks, and second-floor viewing terrace shops with an excellent view of West Street all emit different fragrances. Remember to come with an empty stomach, because you'll really need to lean on the wall to walk out after indulging in the feast of flavors that half the city has to offer. 🌟A must-visit destination, landmarks abound Before going, be sure to do some research on the best photo spots. Don't miss out on the great photo opportunities, such as the giant 'Quanzhou' sign, the big 'Love' on the wall, Bai Yansong's famous quotes at Xiaoxi Cheng, the panoramic view of West Street from the second-floor viewing terrace of the shops, the bell tower at the end of the road, and many more landmarks waiting for you to explore and create precious memories. Remember to bring your camera and capture it all along the way. 🚶Although there are many must-visit spots in Quanzhou, with numerous ancient temples and houses, if you haven't been to West Street, it feels as if you haven't really been to Quanzhou. So, don't miss out and go experience it for yourself.
