Quanzhou trip with kids is over, and my consumption outlook has been shattered.

Recommended Attractions - Kaiyuan Temple: The largest Buddhist temple in Fujian, with East and West Pagodas, is a symbol of Quanzhou. The temple's scripture-storage pavilion houses many precious cultural relics.  - Qingyuan Mountain: Quanzhou's first and only 5A-rated scenic spot, featuring a Laozi statue and the Hongyi Master's stupa.  - Chongwu Ancient City: The most complete existing T-shaped stone city in China, where you can see ancient city walls, stone carvings, and coastal reefs.  - Qingjing Mosque: One of the earliest existing Islamic buildings in China, with Arabian architectural style.  - Luoyang Bridge: Also known as Wan'an Bridge, it is one of the four most famous ancient bridges, 834 meters long, with many stone pagodas and stone generals.  - Xunpu Village: Experience the Xunpu women's hair-decorating customs, unique folk culture, and traditional Minnan architecture.  - West Street: The earliest developed street in Quanzhou, preserving a large number of historical buildings, with many snacks and specialty shops.  - Wulin Traditional Village, Jinjiang: With a 600-year history, it blends Nanyang-style architecture with traditional Minnan houses, allowing you to experience the old Nanyang dream.  Recommended Food - Ginger Duck: A local specialty, the duck is fragrant and rich in ginger flavor. Sudan Ginger Duck and Jinpo Old Ginger Duck are both good choices. - Misua Paste: Smooth and delicate, it can be served with shrimp, crab, large intestines, and other ingredients. Luo Ji Misua Paste is quite popular. - Meat Zongzi: Made with glutinous rice, braised meat, shrimp, and other ingredients. Hou A Po's Braised Meat Zongzi and Lan's Bell Tower Meat Zongzi are worth trying. - Four Fruit Soup: Made with mung beans, red beans, mesona chinensis, and other ingredients, mixed with honey water or sugar water. It is sweet and refreshing. Accommodation Recommendations - Near West Street: Convenient transportation, many surrounding attractions, and a strong sense of the ancient city atmosphere. There are many hotels around CNY 200 during non-holidays. - Near Wanda Plaza: Many accommodation options, relatively affordable prices, and complete surrounding facilities.

Luojia Temple

When it comes to Shishi, Fujian, many people immediately think of delicious food and beaches. This tour takes you directly to Shishi's hidden spiritual spot: the underwater Buddhist temple, Luojia Temple! Nestled on the coast, the entire temple is not only incredibly spiritual, but also blends seamlessly into the serene sea and skyscape, making it a breathtaking photo op. On a clear day, it's even more breathtakingly ethereal. Recommended Attractions: 1️⃣ Luojia Temple 📍Address: Binhai East Road, Shishi City, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province ⏰Open year-round, 24 hours a day Located by the sea, Luojia Temple offers a truly unique experience. On clear days, the temple's roof and gates shimmer in the sunlight, with breathtaking ocean views behind. A fusion of modern architecture and traditional Chinese style, the temple's waterfront meets the tranquil river, creating a striking underwater scene. We highly recommend spending time in the square in front of the temple to savor the sea, the sacred architecture, and the vibrant cultural atmosphere—you'll never want to stop snapping photos. Most tourists just pass by quickly, but a careful exploration of every corner of the temple reveals many surprises—detailed carvings, quiet prayer corners, and, especially on sunny days, the vibrant colors create a vibrant, photogenic atmosphere. The temple is open year-round, allowing even novice travelers to visit or meditate at any time. Special Tip: Visit in the morning or afternoon; the temple and coastline are particularly spectacular in the sunlight, and the crowds are minimal. Food & Transportation Tips 1. There are local snack stalls at the entrance of Luojia Temple. I recommend trying the Shishi Shacha Beef to refuel before continuing your exploration. 2. From downtown Shishi, you can take a city bus directly to Binhai East Road. From there, walk a five-minute walk to the temple entrance. Transportation is very convenient, and the scenic area is free and open all day, so there's no need to worry about time limits. Additional Tips: - Sunscreen and sunglasses are highly recommended on sunny days. The beach is sunny but windy, making for excellent photography. - For a less crowded experience, avoid the holiday crowds. If you prefer a tranquil atmosphere, take a stroll along the beach. The view of the temple reflected in the water is truly soothing. Conclusion Shishi's Luojia Temple is a truly beautiful fusion of Buddhist exploration and natural exploration. Not only can you experience the aura of cultural architecture, but the soothing presence of the vast ocean is also a welcome relief. If you're visiting Shishi, consider planning a half-day or full-day trip to enjoy the underwater Buddhist temple on a sunny day, capturing both modern and traditional beauty! #ShishiSoulHealing #LuojiaTempleWaterBuddhistTemple #FujianCheck-In Spots #CoastalTemple #SunnyDayTravel
