❤️ Shishi "Xiaowei" | A free, niche photo spot It's not that you can't afford Weihai, but that Shishi in Quanzhou is more cost-effective! ❤️ Shishi Xiangzhi Xiaowei is a place known as Quanzhou's own "Xiaowei." It has a unique coastline and charming sea views. 📍 Navigate to Shishi Xiangzhi Dongcheng Chenghuang Palace 🚗 You can drive or take a taxi 🌟 Enjoy the beautiful sea views and scenery along the way, and experience the unique charm of the island 🧥 Outfit suggestions: Light-colored clothes are recommended, such as blue, white, yellow, etc. Everywhere is a great photo spot, so it's recommended to go on a nice day. It's windy by the sea, so keep warm!

| I visited Quanzhou twice and only took 9 photos. I visited Quanzhou twice this year, but unfortunately, both times I encountered a typhoon, and the sky was always overcast. Fortunately, the red walls and orange tiles of old Quanzhou are warm colors even without sunlight. - 1️⃣ The red wall of Kaiyuan Temple. I saw many travel photographers standing in front of the red wall to take close-up shots. Actually, if you take a step back and include the roof of Kaiyuan Temple with its Minnan architectural style, it will look even better. 2️⃣ The Song Dynasty Twin Pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple. This is a medium telephoto aerial shot. 3️⃣ The rooftop of West Street. Many cafes or restaurants along the street have rooftops or window views facing Kaiyuan Temple, where you can overlook the bustling crowds and gaze at the twin pagodas. 4️⃣ The rooftop of Rezen Hotel. 5️⃣ Aerial view of Zhongshan Middle Road. I really like this arcade pedestrian street, with the clock tower in the distance. 6️⃣ Aerial view of Chaotianmen. The orange rooftops of old Quanzhou are truly beautiful! The above 6 places are all in the old city of Quanzhou, and you can explore them on foot or by riding a shared bike. - 7️⃣&8️⃣ Luojia Temple built on the sea. Before the typhoon arrived, the white waves crashed against the temple's embankment, creating a stunning aerial view! The location for photo 7 is on the rocks next to the Guanyin statue on the west side. Be sure to check the tide times in advance, as the rising tide may cause waves to hit the rocks. 9️⃣ Wulin Traditional Village. In addition to traditional Minnan architecture, Western-style buildings also make great photos. - What I like most about Quanzhou is that West Street and Zhongshan Road Arcade Street intersect at the clock tower. The two different styles converge here without any sense of incongruity, adding to the charm of the ancient city. Perhaps this is the unique charm of Quanzhou as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road and a place where Eastern and Western cultures blend. -

The white house from the book cafe, orange and pink beach tents, perfect for lazily idling by the sea 🛏️Accommodation: Suggest staying near West Street, there are many homestays 🍽️Food: Tried four-fruit soup, noodle paste, ginger duck, fried kueh, vegetable rice, beef offal, steak, all very good, ginger duck is really fragrant! ✅Transportation: 🚄For high-speed rail arrival, it's best to choose Quanzhou Station, closer to the city center 🛺Transportation in the ancient city area is a mix of walking and small electric cars 🚗Taxis are the main mode of transportation to the seaside 💙It's very difficult to thoroughly enjoy Quanzhou in three days. With many scattered attractions, choosing the ones you really want to visit is the most important!

Thankful for coming to Quanzhou Luoga Temple💗, it's hard to describe the shock of the Buddha country on the sea in a few words, especially when looking at it from the other shore, the temple and the sea blend together to appear more sacred, grandeur and solemnity coexist, making people naturally settle down, quietly embracing the sea breeze and the Sanskrit sounds, the trip is worthwhile. Quanzhou Luoga Temple, ticket🎫free 📍: Golden Coast, Shishi City, Quanzhou, Fujian 🚗: About 1h by taxi from Quanzhou city area (fare around 85r-100r), there is also a bus, but it takes about 2h-3h, actually renting a car in Quanzhou is more cost-effective, because each attraction is not too close, the fare is not much different from renting a car and it's more free~ (parking at the temple gate is 10r without time limit) I know many people come to check in the same style as their current boyfriend~ Remember to bring a telephoto lens for better photos, a drone is even better~ I also want to remind everyone that some shooting positions require standing on the beach rocks, the rocks are covered with moss and are particularly slippery, I saw people slipping, be sure to pay attention to safety! Check the weather early and do a good job of sun protection, the sea breeze is strong, the onion dressing method is appropriate, dark clothes are more photogenic~ That's all

✨Recommended check-in spots for internet celebrities: Luojia Temple, a mysterious treasure in Shishi City, a niche attraction made popular by Li Xian. Come and check in at the same seat! ✨ 🎒Itinerary: Yongning Ancient Town→Gold Coast→Luojia Temple 💫 On the golden coast of southern Fujian, there is a low-key and mysterious island - Gongyu Reef. Hidden here is an amazing Buddhist holy place - Luojia Temple. It is said that this temple was built with joint investment from local people. It is located on the east bank of the Southern Fujian Golden Coast in Shishi City, covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres. During high tide, it is like a shining pearl inlaid in the blue sea. 🙏 In the Luojia Temple, the sculptures of Vairocana, Shancai, Dragon Girl and others are lifelike, as if telling a thousand-year-old Buddhist legend. Each statue embodies the craftsman's hard work and wisdom, making people feel endless tranquility and peace. 🌴 Standing on the height of Luojia Temple, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Gongyu Reef, the blue sea and sky, the fishing boats singing in the evening, everything seems so harmonious and beautiful. Here, you can let go of worldly worries, feel the gift of nature, and enjoy a baptism of the soul. 💖 Action speaks louder than words, come to Luojia Temple and check in with the same camera as Li Xian! Click on my homepage to view more exciting travel guides and make every trip an unforgettable memory. 📝Note tips: 1. You can choose a few people to charter a car for the tour. If there are few people, it is recommended to book a one-day tour online, and you can also add Wulin Traditional Village and Xiapu Village. Self-driving is the most convenient! 2. To take a panoramic view of Luojia Temple, it is recommended to shoot from the direction of the Guanyin statue on the Gold Coast. The entire temple seems to be suspended on the sea. Just walk along the Gold Coast to Luojia Temple. 3. To be honest, you really don’t have to go to Yongning Ancient Town. There is nothing to see there at all. There are mainly the Temple of the God of Wealth and the Temple of the City God, where you can pay your respects.

The Seaside Temple, also known as the Loga Temple, is located on the Gongyu Island on the east coast of the Golden Coast in Shishi. It is a rare seaside temple built by the sea, allowing you to feel the grandeur of Buddhism and the momentum of the sea. The mountains are hidden in the city, and the temple is hidden in the sea. It is known as the Loga Temple in the Buddhist Kingdom of Heaven and Sea, which is very beautiful. Try to choose a sunny day to come here. The sea surrounds on all sides, and you enter from the bridge entrance. When you arrive, the tide has receded. If you can encounter it, it is extremely spectacular. The tranquility of the temple is different from the hustle and bustle of the city, which is very comfortable and pleasant. In the summer at three or four o'clock, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the Loga Temple while strolling by the sea. At sunset, there is another beautiful scene. If you like to take pictures, you can come here.

"Loka Temple" This temple is different from other places It floated alone on the sea for many years A rare one-island-one-temple building Makes everyone come here When the tide rises and falls, it is more like a sea that can accommodate all rivers. It takes a little courage to walk here "high tide" If there is a high tide The "Buddhist Kingdom of Pengdao" often mentioned on the Internet describes this place. On the long coastline of Quanzhou The only temple standing on a floating island The temple is currently under renovation Busy workers and bustling tourists Does not disturb Each side looks out to the endless sea The truly unique scene is the sea and sky connecting If you come to Quanzhou Why not take some time to go to Shishi Gold Coast Look at this sea temple #autumngoodplaces #weekendtour #attractionsinmainlandchina #overseastour #mainlandtravel #mainlandtravel #signuphoteltestsleeper #temple

Shishi, once the "Little Hong Kong of the Mainland" The current Jinxiang Road still has the atmosphere of the old city. The whole street is a night market It was bustling until 4 or 5 in the morning. First time in Shishi I really don't know much about this city. I wanted to choose a newly opened hotel The driver told me when I got on the bus There is a five-star brand locally Very cost-effective, good facilities, delicious meals Because the boss used to be a chef So I changed the route temporarily. Choose this local brand Basic room: 200+ per person, 45 square meters Bathroom dry and wet separation Large wash basin design Breakfast is served in the revolving restaurant on the top floor 22F But the scenery is beautiful Buffet breakfast with a combination of Chinese and Western styles The Chinese taste is really good We tried fried eggplant, Orleans chicken, tofu, etc. ⚠️Breakfast will be served at 10 o'clock 🏨｜Shishi Honor International Hotel 📍｜No. 88, Haojiang Road, Shishi City, Quanzhou City 🗺️｜It is a 10-minute walk from Xinhuadu Department Store and 8.5 km from Gold Coast. #autumngoodplaces #islandholiday #familygoodplaces #weekendtrip #overseastrip #mainlandhotels #mainlandattractions #mainlandtravel

On the weekend, we took a high-speed train from Shenzhen North Station for more than three hours to Jinjiang, and then transferred to Shishi, starting our four-day food tour. Shishi, Fujian is a small city, but it hides many delicious foods. I've been here for two days, and I've had six or seven meals a day. Many traditional Fujian flavors can be found here, such as rice dumplings, five-spice rolls, earthworm jelly, sausage enema... Beef is very popular here, and "Xinhui Beef Soup" is a must-go restaurant. In addition to beef soup, salty rice, and various blanched dishes are also must-try. The beef tripe is not bleached, very fresh, and paired with very finely shredded ginger and vinegar, it's extremely delicious! I stayed at the Shishi Honor International Hotel in Shishi. It has a good location and is convenient to go anywhere. In addition, the current taxi apps are so convenient that the travel experience is greatly improved. #Good place for families #Food #Fujian #Fujian cuisine

Traveling with friends, I stayed in this four-star hotel. I liked the big room the most! No matter which room type, it is 45 square meters in size, very spacious and with a large feeling, especially the bathroom space is perfect! The bathroom has a shower room and a large square bathtub, which is very comfortable to soak in. Bath salts and disposable bathtub covers are also provided, which is very thoughtful! The hotel rooms have all the basic facilities, including a refrigerator but it's not very cold; there are enough kettles, cups, hair dryers, disposable toiletries, and supplies for sale. There are also a lot of free movies on TV, which is great! The transportation is very convenient and it is close to many attractions: Deyi Temple, Wulin Traditional Village Scenic Area, etc. There is a food street with many stalls nearby for midnight snacks, which is very satisfying! 📍Shishi Manhattan Jianlian Hotel #Overseas travel #Arrival hotel #Mainland hotel #Shishi #Shishi hotel #Quanzhou hotel #Fujian hotel #Four-star hotel #hotel #Hoteltour #Mainland customs clearance #Mainland travel

In Quanzhou, known as "half city of fireworks, half city of immortals", half is temples and half is daily life. Quanzhou has never lacked temples ⛩️, but this sea temple is so special~ . It is located on the Gold Coast, facing the Taiwan Strait, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the waves keep hitting the reefs 🌊. Only one stone bridge connects this side of the earth, and from the sky, it looks like a floating paradise in the sea~ . The temple is entirely yellow, and at sunset 🌇, the sunlight shines on the temple. From afar, it looks like a golden palace~ Can't help but say, Quanzhou people are really good at building temples! . Walking in every corner of the temple, you can feel surrounded by the ocean. On one side is the sea, on the other side is the Pure Land of Buddha 🙏🏻. Who would have thought that temples and the sea could be combined so charmingly! . 🏯Luogas Temple Suggestion to drive 🚗, it takes 1.5 hours from Xiamen. Admission is free, and there is a parking lot at the entrance. Next to it is a beach 🏖️, and there are quite a few locals playing here~ . 📷It is not recommended for everyone to stand on the platform to take photos. It is very dangerous to fall onto the rocks and the sea if you lose your balance.❌ The wind is a bit strong, it's better to come on a sunny day ☀️.

1. Overview Because we were asked to "not use the hot spring unless necessary" during the May Day holiday, I asked my family to stay in Shishi for a day. The hotel is located at the entrance of Jinjiang to Shishi. It is the only international chain hotel in Shishi (although there are several other hotels that also write international and are good, they are all local chain brands). Because there is an Accor Platinum F4, I chose this one. 2. Guest Rooms | In Room I called the hotel in advance and told them that I would take my children there for vacation. I booked a beggar room. The hotel agreed to upgrade to an executive room. Later, I asked the leader and agreed to upgrade me to a duplex suite. The room is located on the 28th floor (the highest floor of the guest room). When I checked in, the front desk gave me two breakfasts and welcome drinks. The executive lounge was originally changed to afternoon tea due to the epidemic. I took the initiative to delay check-out to 4 pm. When I arrived in the room, I was given welcome fruits, small biscuits, sparkling water and mineral water. There was nothing in the minibar. The bathroom is authorized by geruiboom, it smells good, and I have prepared children's supplies in advance. The room is in a good location, and the floor-to-ceiling windows look beautiful. 3. Dining For afternoon tea, there is no tea, only juice (the kind of brewed) to choose from, and then four small cakes were given. The breakfast is quite satisfactory. Children over 1.2 meters need to be charged 50 yuan, and then the children are required to come over to measure their height directly, which is rare in high-star hotels. There were not many people eating breakfast, and no one came to serve in the middle. 4. Facilities The gym is not big, but the facilities are relatively complete. There is no mineral water provided inside. The swimming pool is outdoor, and I dare not enjoy it because of the weather. And it seems that there is no lifeguard. The children's playground is in a corner of the buffet restaurant, which is very mini and suitable for young children. When I went to the sauna room, it was not open, and the locker key of the locker room was not provided to the guests, saying that it was only for members. 5. Unforgettable Moments The hotel is very generous in terms of service and upgrades for platinum members. A full score of 5 points can be scored to 10 points. However, due to the epidemic and other reasons, many aspects have been greatly affected. It is estimated that there are not many guests, and many facilities have just opened. There are basically no foreign tourists, and locals tend to prefer several local high-star hotels in the city center. Some things still have room for improvement. VI. Summary | Conclusion Overall, I am very satisfied with my stay. Shishi is not big. Although the hotel is not in the most central place, it is still very convenient to go anywhere.

Shishi Gold Coast, where the most beautiful coastline of Quanzhou is located. From the Lunga Temple at the east end of the coast to the Guanyin statue in the South China Sea and then to the Sea World. You can step on the beach, listen to the sound of the sea, eat authentic food, and take a break from laziness. Gold Coast Resort is located on the beachfront of Yongning Town, Shishi City, covering an area of 6,000 acres and a coastline of 12 kilometers. A 10-km-long 38-meter-wide cement avenue links her to the Shishi district. Here, the northwest of the Baogai Mountain is high in the sea, and the southeast is in the Taiwan Strait. In the scenic area, there are "viewing tide point sail palace island, Bibo white beach, Yulin original new sand embankment, strange stone Guanyin mountain". The scenic area is adjacent to Yongning Town in the west. Yongning is also known as Yucheng, which is the ancient town of Haiphong in Fujian.

Looking at the clouds in the sky in the yard is unpredictable, or go to the beach to see it. Its not too late, its a good weather, the golden sunshine hits the green lawn nearby, and the lighthouse in the distance leads the direction of the voyager. This section was taken on the beach on the right side of Guanyin Mountain. There are a few simple tables, and even a run-down boat docked on the beach. It took a few simple chairs and it looks like summer. Its very comfortable to drink beer in the sea at night.

I have been to Guanyinshan many times, every time it will give me a different surprise, but I never thought about why it is called Guanyinshan. I realized that I was taking a boat out of the sea and looking back. The whole mountain here is like a lying Guanyin. Yongning, in the southeast coast of Quanzhou, Fujian Province, has a 600-year-old ancient acropolis. The entire Yongning is surrounded by the sea on three sides and faces Taiwan across the sea. It is a coastal defense area. Guanyin Mountain, in fact connected to the famous Golden Coast, but few people know. The most special thing about Guanyin Mountain is the diversity of the coastline. From the weather fossils to the fishing port, from the beach to the air-raid shelter, standing on the mountain and looking at the Taiwan Strait, it is the ultimate beauty.

Yongning Ancient City|Shishi Yongning Ancient City In fact, it is not too big to say that it is small or small. If you go shopping and eat and have a holiday, you may have to hold an event and it will take 2-3 hours to walk. There will be a lot of special southern Fujian snacks along the way, such as the fist mother egg yolk beef simmered grass and the like. When the ancient city walked in and walked for a few hundred meters, there was a big square. The square was facing a temple. On the right hand side of the temple, there were many buildings in southern Fujian. The architectural style is very particular and the photos are OK.

Auntie Tower and Liusheng Stone Tower, please call me Tuta Female King. The Guru Tower is located in Baogai Mountain, Shishi City. It is a hollow stone tower built with granite. It is the navigation mark of the sea-going ship in the past. The tower has five floors and 21 meters high. It is particularly embarrassing because of the mountain. The Auntie Tower is backed by Quanzhou Bay and faces the Taiwan Strait. It is about the lock of the water and the southeast.
