Xunpu Village

The stock from last summer, flipping through the photos, I still want to go to Quanzhou again! The experience of wearing flowers in Xunpu Village is very interesting, let me share my Xunpu Village guide with you. 💐About Wearing Flowers From the moment you get off the car, there are flower shops everywhere. Personally, I feel that you shouldn't go to the flower shops at the entrance that look like big sheds, they don't seem very professional. There are many shops that look like their own 🏠 houses inside, and several of them are very beautiful. I didn't go to those internet-famous shops because I was too lazy to queue up. I just found a random one, and it felt pretty good. The old lady was very enthusiastic, 💐 and she put on jasmine flowers that she had just picked in the morning for me. Because I was afraid that the photos would all look the same, I wore a Chinese-style dress which also looked very good~ By the way, men can also wear flowers, 😆 let's be beautiful together haha 📷About Taking Photos The photos were also taken by me, I didn't find a photographer in the shop, because there are many beautiful places in the village, 💐 after wearing flowers, I felt like I was there wherever I stood. I walked and took photos with my friends, 😌 when I was tired, I sat down and ate something, which made me feel the different local customs and practices more. You can spend half a day here, take photos and stroll slowly, 🌸 I really like this simple and natural little village~

Visiting Quanzhou, of course, you must go to Xunpu to wear hairpin flowers!!! Quanzhou has many stations. If you arrive at Quanzhou Station, you can directly take a Didi taxi to Xunpu Village, which only costs 💰40. If a driver tries to intercept you for a ride, don't go with him. His car might be in the parking lot, and you'll have to run to the parking lot with him. If your group isn't big enough, he'll spend a long time looking for more passengers, and the price might be higher than 40; You can ask the taxi to take you to a specific shop inside, otherwise the driver might only drop you off at the entrance of the village, and there's still a distance to the place where you can wear the hairpin flowers After arriving, you can visit several shops to pursue cost-effectiveness. Basically, each shop charges 💰40 for clothing and hairpin flowers. Expensive shops offer clothing + hairpin flowers + internet-famous makeup for 💰399-700 Cheaper shops offer clothing + hairpin flowers + internet-famous makeup for 💰199-200 If you add photography 📸, it generally costs an extra 💰100 or 200, but there are many photographers at the Mazu Temple who take pictures for people, about 💰50 per person, very professional, with lighting and pose direction Photo check-in spots: Mazu Temple, the dock, and many shops outside will have posters with the word 'Xunpu'. Wander around and you'll find suitable spots for photo check-ins. Xunpu is small, so don't feel tired! The rental of clothing and hairpin flowers in most shops has a specified return time, usually around 🕗 8 p.m., so try to go early Shop recommendation: 'Harbor Side Hairpin Flowers'. This shop has many makeup artists, and also granny hairpin flowers. You can change two sets of clothing, which means you can come back and change into another set after you've finished taking photos outside. Moreover, they wash the clothes worn by customers the same day, and there are many styles. For the little brothers and sisters going to Quanzhou for hairpin flowers, my guide should be quite enough for you 😃😃

Quanzhou: The starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, the world's largest port during the Song and Yuan dynasties, a city of World Cultural Heritage What impresses visitors most about Quanzhou is the temples and halls that are scattered throughout its streets and alleys, as well as the varying intensities of incense that can be sensed both near and far. No other city has managed to preserve such a rich and complex religious culture into the 21st century. Over a thousand years, religion has subtly permeated every corner of this ancient city. Walking through the streets of Quanzhou, one does not need to search intentionally to encounter various religious cultures unexpectedly. Standing at the west end of Xi Street, with Kaiyuan Temple at the center, looking west, the Christian Quanxi Church faces Kaiyuan Temple across the street; to the south, there are the Tianhou Palace worshipping Mazu, the Tudian Street Guandi Temple, and the Qingjing Temple; to the east, there are the Chengtian Temple, Yuanmiao Guan, and Quannan Church on Zhongshan Road. Within a radius of one or two kilometers, local sages, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, and even Hinduism coexist in harmony.

🌈✨Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and longing for a quaint traditional village where everything slows down? Then, Wulin Traditional Village in Jinjiang is the right place for you! The well-preserved ancient buildings and rich historical and cultural atmosphere here will definitely make you take out your phone and snap away. 🏛️📍The main buildings to visit are: Chaodong Building, Gun Building, Deyang House, Dehong Five Zhang, and Wucheng Cu. These buildings are scattered in a picturesque disorder, and the combination of Chinese and Western architecture seems to have traveled through the tunnel of time, allowing people to feel the wisdom and wealth of ancient Minnan people. Wulin Traditional Village was rated as the fourth batch of traditional villages in China in 2016. There are 136 various ancient buildings existing, including the Ming Dynasty Baifu Wall, Qing Dynasty official red brick mansion, modern Gothic and Roman style buildings, Fanzi Building, etc., showing the architectural history of the combination of Chinese and Western, the cultural history of Minnan overseas Chinese, the entrepreneurial history of Fujian people going to Nanyang, and the history of exchanges between China and Southeast Asian countries. The windows of Chaodong Building are now covered by posters from previous activities, which is really ugly. I don't know when the scenic area will take it down. 👗📸If you like photography, this is definitely a great shooting spot. You can wear Xunpu women's clothes and leave a beautiful figure in front of the ancient buildings; you can also use the lens to record the blue sky and white clouds, green trees and red walls here, and freeze the beautiful moments. Personally, if you want to take pictures of Xunpu women, Wulin is really more suitable than Xunpu Village. The scenery of Xunpu Village is relatively ordinary, and there are many people taking pictures. Unlike Wulin, there are few people and beautiful scenery, which is very suitable for photography. 🔥🚆For your convenience, the transportation here is very convenient. You can take a high-speed train to Quanzhou Jinjiang Station, and then take a bus or taxi to get there. If you drive by yourself, there is a free parking lot in front of the scenic area for you to park. It is recommended to drive by yourself or sign up for a one-day group online, which is very convenient. ☕️🍵: Under the Banyan Tree Cafe, inside Dehong Five Zhang, the two banyan trees next to the shop must be checked in. The twisted roots of the tree are like snakes coiled on the roof, and in the end, the roof simply could not bear the pressure and collapsed, forming the only banyan tree planted inside the house. The coffee in this shop is also good, and the coffee shop is also very suitable for taking pictures. 💖💖Finally, when you come to Quanzhou, be sure to leave a day to stroll around Jinjiang and feel the breeze of Wulin. Wulin is very suitable for a slow stroll, take your time to understand the history of each building! Don't forget to follow me, there are more travel guides and experiences waiting for you to discover! Remember to like👍, collect🌟 and share with your buddies!👭👬👫 At the very end, do you all know what the fish, tigers, and various shapes of flowers on the buildings are for?
