The ultimate Quanzhou travel guide! Follow this guide and you can't go wrong!

You must visit Quanzhou! This city is full of stone carvings, ancient houses, folk residences, and seaports. Every place is soaked in a profound cultural heritage, and ancient legends add a mysterious color to it. It's been a while since I've been to Quanzhou. Sisters, let's make an appointment and feel the unique charm of this city together! 🚦 Transportation Guide ✅ Airplane: You can fly directly to Jinjiang International Airport. ✅ Bullet Train: Quanzhou has several stations, including Quanzhou Station, Quanzhou South Station, Quanzhou East Station, Jinjiang Station, and Hui'an Station. It is especially recommended to choose Quanzhou Station, because it is closer to the city center, surrounded by many delicacies, and the attractions are very concentrated. ✅ Car: Traveling is very convenient, whether you are going to surrounding cities and counties, or arriving from other cities, it is a good choice. ✅ Bus: The fare is affordable, only CNY 1 for the entire journey. Search for "Quancheng Tong Ride Code" in the mini program to easily take the bus. However, congestion is prone to occur during peak hours. ✅ Taxi: The starting price is CNY 8. Be sure to choose metered billing when taking a taxi, and do not bargain privately to avoid being ripped off. 🔆 Special reminder: Quanzhou has not yet opened a subway, so remember to plan your route in advance when traveling! 🏠 Recommended Accommodation Options ⭕ West Street Area: There are many delicacies, many surrounding attractions, very convenient transportation, and it is very lively. The West Street at night is even more full of life. Ganxia Homestay is highly recommended. The accommodation environment is comfortable and pleasant, and the per capita cost is only over one hundred CNY, which is very cost-effective! ⭕ Wanda Business District: Located in the core of the city center, with access to all directions, and extremely convenient transportation. The accommodation conditions are superior, surrounded by night markets and shopping malls, where you can enjoy shopping and food. 🕳 Quanzhou Travel Avoidance Guide ✅ 1. Do not take a private car to the city center as soon as you arrive at the airport or high-speed rail station, especially for first-time visitors, be careful of falling into a consumption trap. ✅ 2. The weather in Quanzhou has been erratic recently, and the temperature may drop suddenly. Remember to bring a coat with you. Keeping warm and being beautiful are equally important. ✅ 3. If you want to take beautiful photos in Kaiyuan Temple, it is recommended to choose the early morning or evening, when the light is soft and there are fewer tourists, so you can enjoy the shooting without queuing. ✅ 4. When visiting Qingjing Mosque, you should pay attention to dressing appropriately and avoid overly revealing clothes, so as not to be refused entry. ✅ 5. When visiting the Guan Yue Temple, do not wear slippers or sunglasses. Maintaining solemnity and politeness is a respect for the gods.
