West Street is the only place you need to check in! Attached strategy to rush.

Here is a one-day travel guide for Quanzhou: Morning: - 8:00 - 9:00: Arrive at West Street in Quanzhou. Taste Quanzhou's signature breakfast - Mianxianhu at a snack stall on West Street. Mianxianhu has a smooth texture and can be paired with various ingredients, such as vinegar pork, large intestine, oysters, etc. Add a deep-fried dough stick to start your day beautifully. While enjoying breakfast, admire the antique arcade buildings and bustling morning market atmosphere on West Street. - 9:00 - 10:30: Stroll from West Street to Kaiyuan Temple. Kaiyuan Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Fujian Province, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. Admire the magnificence of the East and West Pagodas, and marvel at the exquisite carvings on the pagoda bodies. In the temple's Mahavira Hall and Sweet Dew Precept Platform, experience the charm of Buddhist art. You can also take a short break in the temple's courtyard and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. - 10:30 - 11:30: After visiting Kaiyuan Temple, head to the nearby Quanzhou Bell Tower. The bell tower is one of Quanzhou's landmarks, with a unique style. Take a photo here to capture the historical charm of Quanzhou. Noon: - 11:30 - 13:00: Enjoy lunch at a restaurant near the bell tower. We recommend trying Ginger Mother Duck, a dish made with old ginger and duck. After a long period of stewing, the duck meat is tender and juicy, with a strong ginger flavor and fragrant aroma. Alternatively, choose Quanzhou Meat Dumplings. The glutinous rice is wrapped with pork belly, mushrooms, egg yolk, and other rich fillings. Pair it with sweet and spicy sauce, peanut sauce, etc., for a unique flavor. Afternoon: - 13:00 - 14:30: Take a vehicle to Quanzhou Tianhou Temple. Tianhou Temple is a temple dedicated to Mazu, and it is also the earliest and largest existing Mazu temple in Southeast China. The architectural style here has a strong Minnan characteristic, with red brick walls and swallowtail ridges showcasing the unique regional culture. Learn about the origin and development of Mazu culture, and experience Quanzhou's importance as the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. - 14:30 - 16:00: Next, head to Qingjing Temple. Qingjing Temple is one of the oldest existing Islamic mosques in China, with a unique architectural style that blends Arabic and Chinese elements. Here, you can admire the exquisite architectural decorations and historical relics, and experience the fusion of different cultures. - 16:00 - 17:00: Stroll through the nearby streets and experience the old town atmosphere of Quanzhou. You can walk into some alleys and discover hidden traditional houses and specialty shops. If you have time, you can also try some local snacks, such as Four Fruits Soup and Stone Flower Jelly. Evening: - 17:00 - 18:30: Enjoy dinner at a restaurant in the old town. You can choose some local home-cooked restaurants and try Quanzhou's signature dishes, such as Oyster Omelette and Vinegar Pork. - After 18:30: End your day's itinerary. You can choose to walk around the streets of Quanzhou city center and enjoy the night view, or head to some specialty teahouses or coffee shops for a short break and savor the beautiful experience of the day.
