Quanzhou 3-Day 2-Night Travel Guide | Half City of Mortal World, Half City of Immortals

| Half City of Mortal World, Half City of Immortals. Quanzhou, this city brimming with historical charm and earthly vitality, is absolutely worth visiting! Here's a 3-day 2-night travel guide to share with everyone: 🚗 Transportation: Both Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport and Quanzhou High-Speed Rail Station are convenient. Walking + the "Xiaobai" mini buses (hail-and-ride) is the best combination for getting around the ancient city. 🏨 Accommodation: Recommend staying near West Street (options: Sanshisan Homestay or Yike Homestay) to experience the ancient city's nighttime charm. 🍜 Food: Ginger Duck, Thread Noodle Soup, Vinegar-Marinated Fried Pork, Braised Pork Zongzi, Quanzhou Braised Noodles, Mochi, etc. are all super delicious—must tries! 📌 Itinerary: Day 1: Stroll Through the Ancient City Core • Morning: After arriving in Quanzhou, head to Kaiyuan Temple. One of Quanzhou's landmarks, this thousand-year-old temple is full of history, and the East and West Pagodas make for great photos. • Noon: Have lunch at Zhanglin Asan Ginger Duck near Kaiyuan Temple to try authentic Quanzhou-style ginger duck. • Afternoon: Explore West Street and Zhongshan Road next to Kaiyuan Temple. The nostalgic arcade buildings are full of Southern Fujian charm, and you can sample various Southern Fujian snacks along the way, such as taro cakes, braised pork zongzi, and mochi. • Evening: Visit the Clock Tower and Zhongshan Road to enjoy the night view and experience Quanzhou's lively night atmosphere. For dinner, try Tumen Beef East for steak and beef soup. Day 2: Maritime Silk Road Culture & Fishing Village Experience • Morning: Visit the Maritime Museum and Quanzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum to learn about Quanzhou's Maritime Silk Road culture—the exhibition designs are very distinctive. • Afternoon: Head to Xunpu Village to experience the fishing village culture of the Xunpu women. You can also try hairpin flower styling, which makes for great photos. • Evening: Watch the sunset at Binjiang Park—the riverside breeze is very soothing. Day 3: Historical Sites & Natural Scenery • Morning: Visit Qingyuan Mountain, Quanzhou's natural oxygen bar. Hiking and enjoying the scenery is super therapeutic. • Afternoon: Explore the Fujian-Taiwan Kinship Museum and Quanzhou Museum to further understand Quanzhou's history and culture. Then prepare for your return trip. ‼️ Tips: • Quanzhou's attractions are relatively concentrated, so there's no need to rush. Take your time to better appreciate the city's charm. • For Xunpu Village hairpin flowers, it's recommended to pick a preferred shop in advance to avoid disappointment. • There's lots of delicious food, but those with sensitive stomachs should pace themselves.
