Millennium West Street still remains the old street for dining, leisure, and shopping

Quanzhou West Street was established during the Song Dynasty and has experienced a thousand years. The street's appearance is still well preserved, with dozens of relics and groups of antique wooden buildings. However, compared to the current commercial street model, visitors seem to be more curious about the delicacies of West Street than the ancient buildings. 【Street Scene】Most of the shops are snack stores, with the majority offering Minnan snacks, including ginger duck, oyster omelette, and 'big intestine wrapping small intestine'... But there are also snacks from all over the country, including Peking duck, Changsha stinky tofu..., and various types of trendy teas and fresh juices are even more popular. It was after ordering juice at a place called 'Fresh See' (West Street branch) that we began to study our 'food strategy'. There are also souvenir shops on the street where you can buy various packaged snacks including Fujian's unique 'Pian Zai Huang' and various intangible cultural heritage crafts. I bought a Quanzhou-style ceramic tile coaster, so exquisite. 【Buildings】Many of the old buildings on the street have opened their second floors as restaurants or bars, also providing a high vantage point for people to enjoy the view of West Street. We went up to the rooftop of the West Street Tourist Center to take photos, and incidentally admired the cultural and creative cakes from the second floor's Shi Yu. Gazing at the Kaiyuan Temple closing as the sun sets. 📍Specific location: Licheng District, Quanzhou City, accessible by the white electric screen car to the street entrance, just raise your hand and pay 2 yuan per person. 💰Ticket information: Free to stroll around ⏱Opening hours: All day
