Quanzhou is a stop worth stopping at at the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. For 3 days and 2 nights, between Kaiyuan Temple and Qingjing Temple, you encounter the unique atmosphere of Quanzhou.
Upon arriving in Quanzhou, Kaiyuan Temple immediately took the lead. In the morning light, it quietly spreads out like the first calling card handed to this place, making people unconsciously slow their pace.
Leaving half a day for the Qingjing Temple was the most cost-effective decision for this Quanzhou trip. Details unfold at your fingertips and before your eyes, making it more satisfying than any check-in.
Luoyang Bridge is Quanzhou's gift to slow walkers. When you are willing to pause for a beam of light or a gust of wind, it gives its softest part.
Evening in Xunpu Village is most full of the warmth of everyday life. Find a nearby small restaurant and enjoy a leisurely drink under the night sky of Quanzhou; the daytime scenery is retold over every cup.
The beauty of Quanzhou is something you only slowly savor after you leave. When you suddenly think of Kaiyuan Temple elsewhere, you'll understand: some places are meant to be missed repeatedly.
