Quanzhou's "Little Weihai" is a great summer vacation destination!

Bai Yansong once said, "Quanzhou is a city you must visit at least once in your life," so I came to this coastal city~ 🌟Transportation: ✈️Flight: Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport (take airport bus line 4💰direct to West Street) 🚄High-speed rail: Quanzhou Station 🚗Self-driving: More convenient 🏠Accommodation: Near West Street ✅My itinerary: Day 1️⃣: Clock Tower ➠ West Street ➠ Xiaoxi Cheng ➠ Xiangfeng Lane ➠ Tianhou Temple ➠ Kaiyuan Temple ➠ Guanyue Temple ➠ Confucius Temple ➠ Jinyu Lane ➠ Hua Lane Day 2️⃣: Shishi's Little Weihai ➠ Juruo Lighthouse ➠ Hongta Bay ➠ Guanyin Mountain ➠ Luojia Temple ➠ Golden Coast ✅Photo sequence: ❶❸Shishi's Little Weihai: This is a sloping road resembling Weihai, offering great depth for photos. Fewer tourists in the morning. Nearby lighthouse, fishing village, and beach are also photogenic. ❷❹Luojia Temple: To capture the temple on the sea, visit at high tide and bring a drone. Recreate Li Xian's iconic shot. ❺Seaside Plan: A café facing the sea with fluttering fabric. Relaxing to sit, chat, and enjoy the sea breeze. ❸Clock Tower: A traffic light at a crossroads and Quanzhou's central landmark—great for photos. ❺Golden Coast: One of Quanzhou's 18 scenic spots, featuring a giant Guanyin stone statue and a unique cruise ship structure. ❻Homeinn Ruibo Cloud Hotel: The rooftop spot has access control. Guests can go up; some non-guests manage too—depends on luck. ❼West Street: Full of snacks and one of Quanzhou's best-preserved ancient streets. Crowded but worth a visit. ❽Kaiyuan Temple: Inside West Street, the alley by the temple entrance has many snacks—try the taro cakes! ❾Guanyue Temple: At the main gate, you can take a sightseeing car for a tour. 🌈Tips: 1️⃣Be safe and eco-friendly at the beach. 2️⃣Stay warm, windproof, and sun-protected. Bring snacks and water. 3️⃣Driving from West Street to Luojia Temple takes 1 hour one way.
