It's not Jeju Island, it's in Quanzhou! The sunset at the hidden Float site is insanely beautiful!
In Quanzhou, there's not only the ancient city
But also the incredibly romantic seaside scenery
After leaving Quanzhou for the first time, I was still not over this city
Then I found another seaside that looks just like Jeju Island
A broken wall frames
The blue sea within it
From different angles, it's a different 'masterpiece'
This time, specifically for it
Crossed 1500 kilometers

Jiulongchi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
A trip to Yuxi
Plan to visit Yuxi, a forgotten destination, this weekend.
Speaking of Jiulong Pool, most locals in Yuxi disdain it, just a small temple.
But when you are in the temple, you will be shocked by the greenery all over the courtyard, a pool full of green as if you see a jade wall, the leisurely fish and the shadow of the trees bring you back to the present, yes! It's a living 'Record of the Little Stone Pond'. Just watching the fish quietly is enough to slow you down and get a moment of peace. Here you can bring children to check in, watch fish, see small turtles, but you can't feed them. Just pick up a small leaf to tease the fish for a while, the fish are happier. Walking and playing, the gnarled old trees are calm and elegant like a famous ink painting, sitting on the stone, we become the ancients in the painting, daze, sit quietly, listen to the wind...
If it is a family outing, then climbing the mountain is essential: fried potatoes and cold rice noodles.
Bring your own snacks, which suddenly pull you back to the feeling of spring outing when you were a child, of course, bringing cold rice and pickles is even more unique, the key is to remember to prevent mosquitoes.
Climbing further up should reach the back mountain trail, halfway up the mountain is the Kunyu Railway, the train rushes back and forth every day, but it can't disturb the quietness under the mountain.
Address: Jiulong Pool is located 10 kilometers northwest of Yuxi City, under Qili Peak, formerly known as Qili Pool. The water is clear and green all year round. The mountain is beautiful because of the water surface, and the water has a dragon, so it is named Jiulong Pool. Ticket: 4 yuan/person
Parking fee: 3 yuan/car unlimited time
You can take the bus directly

Yuxi Tonghai Xiushan Historical Cultural Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Treasure Park Tonghai Xiushan
Xiushan Park - it's really beautiful!
🤜The cultural atmosphere is strong, and the inheritance and protection are very good. Xiushan is really worth going to, you can see the historical marks left behind, and you will be greatly shocked, it is worth slowly feeling. Walking on the mossy stone road, step by step, feeling the road that the ancients have walked, it's like we meet in another space and time. The mottled walls, tall and straight ancient trees, lazy and greedy kittens, hide-and-seek white pheasants, drifting incense... it's really comfortable 😌
👉🏻A whole mountain scattered with ancient buildings, Yongjin Temple, Qingliangtai, Yuhuang Pavilion, Puguang Temple, Bailong Temple... and the Confucian Temple and Museum at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is very quiet, ancient cypress, ancient fir, ancient pine, moss, ferns, wild flowers and wild grasses are free, and each ancient courtyard is full of potted plants, hydrangeas, camellias and various old bonsai.
Climbing the mountain while visiting hundreds of years of courtyards, the harvest is full.
