The city that surprised me the most this year, I'm enthusiastically recommending Quanzhou, Fujian!!
Since Quanzhou was successfully listed as a World Heritage Site last year, it has been on my travel list. I really like the slow pace of Quanzhou, where the carriages are slow, the time is slow, and I regret not coming to Quanzhou until this year😕
Bai Yansong once commented on Quanzhou, 'Quanzhou is a city that you should visit at least once in your lifetime.' I suggest you save the travel guide that I spent a day organizing❗️
🚉How to get there
🔸Take the high-speed train directly to Quanzhou
🔸Fly to Xiamen/Fuzhou, then take the high-speed train to Quanzhou (there are also many places that can fly directly to Quanzhou)
