    A must-see intangible cultural heritage feast in Quanzhou! The string puppet show truly lives up to its reputation. Classic plays are performed one after another, and dozens of strings are manipulated with ease by the actors. The puppets blink, change costumes, and move with life, as if they have been given a life of their own. Coupled with the melodious puppet music, the atmosphere is incredibly immersive. There are also interactive photo opportunities after the performance, making it excellent value for money. This thousand-year-old art of puppetry is both ancient and heartwarming, truly a treasure of Quanzhou's cultural tourism!

    Fantastic performance! The kids were adorable! The performance was fantastic! The iron head kick was amazing! Even the foreigners were stunned! At 50 yuan per person, it's very affordable! Definitely worth going!

    Attracted by its rich history and culture, I specifically chose this 4A scenic spot to enjoy a one-stop service for intangible cultural heritage. I explored the culture, history, and architecture, watched a puppet show, and experienced Quanzhou hairpin making in an afternoon. It was fantastic!

    I think it's quite fun. Facing the ocean, the roller coaster ride is fantastic. It's perfect for older children. There's also a science exhibition hall with lots of specimens. It's very convenient for bringing kids; you don't have to walk around; you can rent electric buggies. Hahaha.

    After walking up and down the stairs for an hour and a half, remember to wear comfortable shoes, or you will feel a little tired. There are many students during the National Day holiday, so it is best to ask for a guide, or be thick-skinned and take a guide to learn about the history of Quanzhou and the history of ancient shipbuilding. It is a vivid history lesson for children... Remember to make an appointment in advance, and you need to see the code to enter the museum.

    Mr. Zhuang, who provided our guided tour, is a native of Quanzhou and possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of the local history and culture. His explanations were engaging and easy to understand. He recounted the evolution, characteristics, and anecdotes of Quanzhou's intangible cultural heritage from the Jin Dynasty to the present day, and the hour flew by. Learning so much about Quanzhou's history and culture on our first day in Quanzhou will greatly benefit our visits in the following days. Thank you to Ctrip for recommending Mr. Zhuang's service.

    This was my second visit. The scenic area now includes a flying magic carpet up the mountain, a stone ox down the mountain, and a waterfall cafe. It's a very nice scenic area, and there's a bonfire party in the evening, making for a very fulfilling trip.

    Puppetry, one of Quanzhou's intangible cultural heritage, is a must-see in Quanzhou. Tickets are in high demand, with several slots available depending on availability, so advance reservations are essential. The play we performed that day was about Huo Qubing, and the actors were incredibly enthusiastic, with a compelling plot that left the audience spellbound. The play was performed in the local dialect, but thanks to the monitors, I could barely understand it. It's definitely worth seeing.

    This landmark museum in Quanzhou uses down-to-earth exhibits to explore the connection between Fujian and Taiwan. A visit here feels like a journey through time, with artifacts and images showcasing the blood ties between the two sides. The second-floor "Fujian-Taiwan Connection" exhibition is incredibly informative, while the third-floor folklore exhibition offers a glimpse into the past. Don't miss the exquisite Yusu Princess! The imposing Nine Dragon Pillars at the entrance create a truly stunning photo op in the plaza. Free admission makes this weekend a worthwhile opportunity for your family to learn more and experience the warmth of shared roots.
