Oops, it’s really big. This up and down gave me a full four and a half hours of climbing. I’m tired, but it’s really good. A trip without regret. Every rock platform has different allusions to share. Every sign is perfect. I look forward to seeing you next time.

Quanzhou Shaolinsi

Quanzhou Shaolin Temple is very large, the building is very magnificent, and the scenery is beautiful. The most worthy question is its vegetarian buffet. There are many types. My husband has been not used to eating in Fujian these days. Today, I feel very happy to eat this 🤭.

Qingjing Taoyuan

好鹏友工作室
You have to drive to Qingjing Taoyuan by yourself, there is no bus going there. The scenery of the scenic spot is still good, but the tickets are a bit expensive. There are also holiday cabins here, it is very special to stay here and experience it. But it feels quite remote, there is nothing around at night, it is dark.

Quan Zhou Museum

旅行家系我
The most worth visiting every place is the museum, learn about its past and present life! The museum is not big, but with the children, the whole process is not tired, there are some small furnishings, etc. are more popular by children, the museum collection is not many cultural relics, but some are really very southern Fujian characteristics, it is worth seeing!

Quanzhou Ocean Park

The teacher was knowledgeable, the explanation was in-depth, and the explanation was 2 and a half hours, which made us fully understand the wonderful scenery of Quanzhou in Songyuan. I understand why Quanzhou has become the world's largest port. No wonder taxi drivers will say that when you come to Quanzhou, you must go to the Haijiaoguan.
