Yongchun is a county town under Quanzhou, next to Putian. Its temperament is not exactly the same as Quanzhou City. It is comfortable, cozy and calm. It is one of the four major vinegar-making places in the country and is also the capital of incense. A small county town, one day is enough. If you have more time in Quanzhou, you can come here to experience it and feel the different temperament Route: Dongguan Bridge - Yongchun Vinegar Factory - Tulou - Wuli Ancient Street - Kuixingyan - China Bamboo Incense City 1. Yongchun Dongguan Bridge (P3): ⭐⭐⭐ Located in Dongguan Town, Yongchun County, Fujian Province, it is an ancient bridge with a long history. It spans the Dongguan Creek. It is more than 80 meters long and 5 meters wide. There are 14 bridge holes in total. It is the longest existing ancient wooden arch bridge in Fujian Province 2. Yongchun Vinegar Factory (p4-6): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Many large vinegar tanks, 1-2 years, 3-5 years, more than 5 years, and a vinegar culture park, full of sour taste... Shanxi vinegar emphasizes freshness, Yongchun vinegar is more aged vinegar, more flavorful. I learned something new. There is also vinegar ice cream here, sour and refreshing… 3. Yongchun Tulou (p7): ⭐⭐ I passed by a Tulou, which has a history of more than 200 years and is still under renovation. It is still smaller than the Tulou in Zhangzhou 4. Wuli Ancient Street (P1-2, 8-12): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is still under renovation. You can see that the buildings here are beautiful and unique, but the shops are not open now and there is a lot of dust. There are many "stalls" (P13) here. I was tired from walking in the morning and just had a meal. I randomly chose one. There was no menu. I just brought a pot and heated it on the induction cooker. Then the boss matched the ingredients (lean pork, pork liver, pork large intestine, pork intestine, pork lung, Luohan meat, egg intestine, tofu, fried tofu) and cooked them in the pot. The meat tasted very tender and the soup was delicious. The key is not expensive. It costs 25 yuan per person. Of course, you can add some extra side dishes, and the price will be charged separately. I checked it out and found that the kotan originated here, and it has a history of two or three hundred years. Wuli Street had frequent trade in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, merchants gathered here and ate meat in a hot pot. Over time, a kotan similar to hot pot was formed. Because the ingredients will roll in the pot after being cooked, making a "ko ko ko" sound, which is similar to the pronunciation of "ko" in Minnan dialect, the kotan got its name. 5. Kuixing Rock (P13-14): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wenquxing descended to the earth. Once you enter, the trees are very dense, the air is very good, and it is full of Zen. 6. China Bamboo Incense City (p15-17): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ There are many companies here, and you can go in and visit them to dry incense. One of the factories, Binda, even has its own historical and cultural exhibition hall, which is quite interesting. #Quanzhou Topic #Travel Recommendation #China Incense Capital #Yongchun Old Vinegar
