In Fujian Province, Quanzhou of the cultural implications can be regarded as second to none: deep cultural connotation of the rich cultural landscape constitutes Quanzhou features. Quanzhou culture is the ancient Yue culture, and the Central Plains culture and foreign culture synthesis. The national famous historical and cultural city.
Quanzhou area little more focused sites, including the more well-known attractions include: Qingyuan Shan, Kaiyuan Temple, temple, Tien Hou Temple, and Qing Jingsi and so on, to swim as long as the actions of these sites quickly, just half a day will be suffice.
When we arrived in Quanzhou was already evening, and for convenience, we have found a home at the station near the hotel first to settle down (live in Jinzhou Hotel, standard triple room more than 200 yuan, but they can counter-offer, and finally 200 yuan, to send free breakfast).
That night, we ate the food stalls in the urban areas of the meal are not expensive, but not our appetites for dinner together, not something bad but that their practice is not the same with us, but also regarded as one meal does not matter came out, of course, no good at home.
After dinner, we are shopping. Every somewhere, I have a habit that is in any case as much as possible to go shopping, do not want to buy things, but can understand the place of consumption level and urban landscape (there is one point to see where the beautiful, ha ha ha ). Because we live in a place not far away from the temple and Qingjing Si, so the first to go in that direction, by the way to walk a few spots.
Qingjing Si is an ancient mosque, located in the urban areas, painted the street, next to the temple, temple is well known, but the size is very small, such as the temple is no longer as open as the reconstruction light, monks and nuns gathered, incense constant, on the contrary, only just breaking Gen Canbi only available to identify only the main entrance of the domed roof is still residual point Islamic flavor.
The temple is the one next door with a Taiwanese-style building, where the temple is still the best looking bluestone relief columns of the temple in the Fujian area, this stone relief is the most features and the most beautiful (in the Kaiyuan Temple is also a lot of these columns).
And Qingjing Si Tu temple where the street is actually a commercial street, where shops, crowded, but on the opposite side of that row in the Qing Jingsi building is intended to imitate her style is built, which becomes all the more a kinds of beautiful harmony. The energy savings for the next day's itinerary, we can not play too late, so swim back to hotel rest here.
The next day eaten for breakfast, of course, be the first stop of the Qingyuan Shan. In order to save time, we have to fight (but is actually not far off, a moment they arrive). Begun to enter the scenic area from the Laojun rocks (big ticket 25 yuan, 10 yuan a small ticket, it is recommended to buy small-ticket can be, because the road is walking along the Laojunshan can also enter the main scenic area), where the famous rock and touches Laojun The stupa, in addition, I do not think there is anything worth looking at, and say that many travel books have been called to "A Quiet Place, Show" known "Qingyuan Tianchi" it, is nothing more than a little could not have been only a small reservoir, surrounded by scenery far from satisfactory, let's walk covered with bromidrosis, where they found the original so and not worth mentioning. Others do not have to say. Anyway, I think Qingyuan Shan than I thought it would be with less.
As the scene is not up to much, in order not to turn back, we ride motorcycles directly from the Tianchi side down, and then fight to the Kaiyuan Temple. Kaiyuan Temple in the urban West, is one of Fujian's largest Buddhist temple, built in the Tang Dynasty, large-scale temples, magnificent Main Hall, there is a large stone hall 86, the "Hall of 100 columns" is laudatory, but also be called a must, while the beam brackets decorative carvings of the 24 flying Leji is amazing. Among the many Buddhist temples of the Main Hall, the Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou rated as second to none. At the temple, on both sides of the separation of East and West towers, two towers were built in the Southern Song Dynasty; East Tower Town State Tower, West Tower were Renshou tower, and the Pagoda of Six Harmonies, Hangzhou, Kaifeng Tower par, the highest in China's biggest vinyl structure of the existing pavilion -type stone pagoda. Interestingly, in the West Tower of the relief, the shape of the Monkey King had said, more than Wu Cheng-en's "Journey to the West" to do the morning several hundred years. Currently the two towers in the country only to the town of East Tower tower open to visitors, board pagodas, Kaiyuan Temple, panoramic views, but also overlooks the Quanzhou area it!
In Quanzhou, such as the Tin Hau Temple, Chengtian Si, on the 9th Mountain, and so many attractions, but taken together, we just toured several of the more well-known right to be cursory, because our plan is to select a representative The fight for a better time to travel, so the next stop, we use an afternoon time to benefit Anchong Wu, tour with Stone Chongwu known as Old Town and visits from the movie "Widow's Village" in Hoi An insight into the customs, Folk.
Back to the hotel room back end, we have packets of a surface of non-stop rush Chongwu city (fare 70 yuan, I heard that you can usually only forty to fifty yuan a). From the ancient city of Quanzhou to Chongwu a good way to go about just one hour.
By Chongwu, we have to go first to a restaurant for dinner, the way the line tour and will be hosting in their backpack store, replacing a heavy "burden" so easy it can be called up to play! Here, we eat the best of the journey to eat, the most delicious meal, where the coast, so a lot of seafood, inexpensive, tasty and delicious, can be considered inexpensive.
Chongwu the ancient city of Ming Dynasty, is a defensive strategy based on the needs of the construction of the stronghold, is the only one of China's relatively complete Stone. In fact, Stone is now nearly two years was re-built, this brand-new stone from the wall can be inferred, but the Stone is a well-deserved, because the residents here are the stone houses 90% built, both past and present, stones, or their primary building materials, construction of buildings are the same.
As stated earlier, Fujian famous stone into the ancient city (the ancient city of tickets for 15 yuan), in the ancient city built on the beach under the "Stone Craft Exposition", where the stone dazzling, simple and delicate, form and essence, In this stone the world, and are not afraid of you do not gasp in admiration, "hometown of stone carving" in style. Stone Exposition swim, you can spend 5 yuan climbed the ancient city wall, and along the wall (not so much the wall, I would rather say that grass-grown country athletics), tour the city under the city residential areas and look at scenery, do not have a style.
Out of the ancient city, in order to more in-depth visits to famous women of Hoi An, we have specially hired an electric tricycle (8 million), so that he would send us to a small fishing village nearby. Hoi An woman traditional dress known as a "conservative head, democracy belly, save-shirt, a waste of pants," said, he drove in the village path, we have finally seen a lot of clothes that women in traditional costumes Hoi An, but mostly middle-aged women, many young girls have not seen such a dressed. Because it is the afternoon of 34 points, not many people on the street, so we have enlisted in a market out of the car; may still be early for here is actually the multi-stall, buy something small, but we do not buy things, at people, so disturbed pair of eyes were always looking for prey like a hunter, like the United States would like to find a young woman shot ZHANG Zhao tapir in Hoi An, the shadows of her home (photographed's also OK ). Inter-searching, finally found an old woman's side of River squatting a little girl who sold a small shark in order to avoid arouse his suspicions, the two of us pretend to buy something first went to her asking about the price, secretly ask their friends to help us According to the two-phase, to later when you want to take pictures that shy little girl has been found that busy pulling up a long red scarf covered face. She told us we request a photo, she refused to matter whether any case can be considered to achieve its purpose.
Swim folk village, we feel better just to go the seaside fishing village, because there are also many Hui'an women, and may be more style than here, more aesthetic. Just imagine: When the golden sun shining over a calm sea, fishing boats were anchored in the sea pulled a long shadow on the beach, far from the net to see the process of collating the Hoi An woman, that it be called America! Unfortunately it is too late, do not take the car home on the catch, and the next bar.
Back to the ancient city, there is every four minutes by car bound for Hoi An (4 yuan fare), we Zuoju Hui Hoi station, then bought a ticket to return home the end of our National Day trip.
The tour, our plan was a long journey: from Wenzhou - Fuzhou - Meizhou - Quanzhou - Chongwu, one city to another city, of which, we try to arrange the evening and afternoon traffic volume small, road good and do not take up hours of travel time by car (this also depends on the traffic can be so convenient in Fujian, Fuzhou, Wenzhou, that part of the road on the fails, we forced into a plane flying over), there is a certain selection Express Express, although expensive the point, but safe and time on time, easy to grasp; in time is not very abundant, having fun can not drag more fun to play, not fun not to play or spend little time to play, in the attractions and travel plans and arrangements to implement the minority is subordinate the majority, how are they going to discuss after the implementation, so a lot less to go in vain injustice Rd. In the journey, we really played a democratic and cooperative spirit, and temper their own organizational capacity, but also from such collaboration to deepen their friendship, which I like to travel with friends organized one of the reasons of self-help.
