How to have fun in Zhangzhou? Come and you will find out

Zhangzhou, also known as 'Zhang', nicknamed the Seaside Zoulu, the hometown of daffodils, is located at the southern end of the Golden Triangle in southern Fujian, bordering Xiamen City and Quanzhou City to the east, Longyan City to the north, Meizhou City and Chaozhou City of Guangdong Province to the west, and facing Taiwan Province across the sea to the southeast. The city covers a land area of 12,600 square kilometers and a sea area of 18,600 square kilometers. The climate is mild, belonging to the subtropical monsoon humid climate. The territory of Zhangzhou has been inhabited by ancestors for over ten thousand years. In the 25th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang (222 BC), it was incorporated into the central territory of Qin, belonging to Minzhong County. In the second year of the Tang Dynasty's Chuigong era (686 AD), General Chen Yuanguang was granted permission to establish Zhangzhou, which began as the state administration of Zhangzhou, and was later renamed Zhangzhou County and Zhangzhou Prefecture, among others. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, it was renamed as the sixth administrative district of Fujian Province, also known as Longxi Special District. In 1969, it was changed to Longxi Region, and in 1985, it was renamed Zhangzhou City. In 1985, it was listed by the State Council as one of the national coastal economic open areas, and it was one of the earliest regions to implement the opening-up policy in China. Zhangzhou is also the hometown of the Chinese women's volleyball team, a central city in the economic zone of the west coast of the Strait, the city of clocks and watches in China, and the city of hot springs in China. Zhangzhou has the Nanjing Tulou, which is listed on the World Heritage List, Dongshan Island, Zhangzhou Coastal Volcanic National Geopark, Yundongyan, and other attractions.
