Quanzhou? It's only two hours' drive from Fuzhou and only one hour after the opening of the bullet train, but it shows different characteristics in eating habits and cultural features, which is very suitable for weekend travel. Looking for Quanzhou ancient morning flavor

After arriving at the hotel for a short rest, we began to look for the legendary "ancient morning flavor"!

No.436, Zhongshan South Road, the "mass beef snack"-fried oyster and beef soup -15 yuan

An old shop that has been in business for three generations, is a lot of old? Quanzhou? My choice ~ Because I want to keep fighting, I only ordered fried oysters and beef soup. Love oyster fried, it is the best I have ever eaten! The weight is enough, the ratio of oyster to egg is just right, even green onions can be swallowed ~ however, beef soup is not recommended, it is a bit heavy for me, and the beef is wrapped in too much powder, which tastes strange. "Yuanfang Xiaolongbao" at No.381 Zhongshan South Road-Xiaolongbao 8 yuan

After eating the fried oysters, walk a few more steps and you will arrive at Yuanfang Xiaolongbao. You can eat and pack, and the meal is full ~ Although you have eaten half full, in order to be a qualified pathfinder, you still ordered the signature steamed buns ~ There won't be much meat, but it won't be "separated", which is quite rare. A lot of steamed buns, with a bite, the meat rolls out, leaving only the skin, but this shop won't, dip it in garlic hot sauce, great!

Zhongshan? No.1-3 "Bingzhengtang Shihua Ointment"-four fruit soup 14 Yuan

Shihua Ointment is solidified after being boiled and cooled with Shihua. It's a bit like white jelly ~ When you come to the store, don't order stone flower paste, but order four fruit soup, which is stone flower paste plus three other ingredients. Axiu added watermelon, pineapple and red beans, but I ordered taro, grass and salty pudding, each with its own style ~ it seems that adding fruit is more refreshing, all depending on your own preferences. It's perfect to have a refreshing bowl of four fruit soup in hot weather!

"Awen Noodle Paste" at the intersection of Xinmen Street and Xinhua South Road-Noodle Paste 31 yuan

Noodle Paste is perfect for breakfast. At Watergate Street, Aguozai Noodle Paste is too far away from the hotel, so we are hungry and choose Awen Noodle Paste which is not too far away. You can choose your own ingredients for batter, and there are many kinds. In Fujian, you must choose seafood. A whole fresh squid is added to the batter, which is matched with the freshly fried deep-fried fritters, and the happiness brought by satiety arises spontaneously.

No.31 West Street "Tofu pudding mom"-comprehensive soybean flower 13 yuan

No.45 East Street "Hou Apo meat dumplings"-signature scallop meat dumplings, shrimp soup 24 yuan

Hou Apo meat dumplings are delicious and crying! I love the smell. In addition to the very full weight of Zongzi itself, there are many ingredients, and the sauce is like a mixture of peanut butter and sand tea sauce, which is very strong when matched! My friends don't like the feeling of thick sauce, but I really like it and think it is the first place in this snack! I also ordered a shrimp soup. Choose it carefully. Shrimp is frozen and covered with more starch. I don't like the taste.

Hou Apo's meat dumplings can be said to be an old brand. As long as you arrive in Quanzhou, you should basically try them. The newly renovated storefront also gives people a particularly good feeling. Compared with some old shops, I still prefer such a storefront with "old wine in new pot", which at least gives people a clean and hygienic feeling, and most importantly, the taste is just as good!

After eating meat dumplings and shrimp soup, it's still a little greasy. It's just the right time to eat with a comprehensive soybean flower packaged from the bean curd mother! It tastes good, and the tofu pudding is tender, just to get tired of it! Recommended scenic spots

Liaopu Fishing Village has more than houses with oyster shells

Liaopu Fishing Village is an ancient village, and this time I went to look for "oyster shells", which is the legendary house made of oyster shells ~ However, this adventure is not easy.

Focus: Take a taxi to Linhai Primary School, and you will see the stone of "Liaopu". When you get there, ask another way, and it will be easy to find it.

It has a history of more than 411 years since it was formed, developed and declined in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Shell building has a strong folk flavor and rich knowledge of aesthetics and technology; Is it ancient? Quanzhou? The product of foreign trade, witnessing? Quanzhou? "At sea? Silk Road? " The glorious history of. Moreover, the shell has the characteristics of no rainwater accumulation, warm in winter and cool in summer, and good sound insulation effect, which is suitable for living in humid coastal climate; Secondly, the shell wall is very strong, known as the "Millennium brick, 11,111 years old" reputation.

At present, people in the village rarely live in shell houses, and more, they are still preserved as historical sites. However, the construction waste and garbage discarded around the house still make us feel that it is not valued.

qipu village? There is also a big feature-the women in Pupu, old and young, will put wreaths on their heads, which is very beautiful. There is also a small shop renting the clothes of the women in Beipu near Keke, and friends who like it can also experience a special wreath ~

Muppet Play of Intangible Cultural Heritage

Because I think of this trip, I can have a special experience, so I want to get a deeper understanding of Quanzhou culture. Quanzhou Nanyin and Puppet Show are both well-known intangible cultural heritages. Because of the time, we couldn't hear the Nanyin, but the "Puppet Show" has made us feel glad you came.

Pay attention to WeChat official account: Quanzhou Puppet Troupe to learn about the latest performance arrangements.

I went to the new theater. The address is Quanzhou? Quanzhou Puppet Theatre, No.355 Quanshan Road, Fengze District, the city.

every weekend (sometimes Friday and Saturday, sometimes Saturday and Sunday) at 7: 31 in the evening. Quanzhou Puppet Troupe will perform public welfare performances with low fares in the new theater, and only one seat is 21 yuan. Do not accept reservations, you can only buy tickets at the scene. I missed the first play on Saturday night because I was late. I was worried that I didn't have a seat, but I got there and there was a seat in the first row.

The second play is Little Shami Down the Mountain. Little novice monk was caught in heavy rain for the first time when he went down the mountain, and he fell several times, but he still had to go down the mountain for alms. Every movement of the puppet is very smooth, and you can't feel the stiffness of the puppet at all. Little novice monk had to run for shelter from the rain because he was on his way, and the performers had to run with him.

apart from being amazed at the superb skills of the performers, what moved me even more was their concentration and heartfelt love from their expressions. If you don't really like puppet shows, you won't unconsciously show that kind of pride on your face. I am very shocked. I just devote myself to my favorite career, so that people around me can feel this quiet power.

The third play, Journey to Ruolan, tells the story of Ruolan's long journey to find her husband. This should be a fragment of a complete play, because it is a narrative story, so you can't feel the plot particularly well in the fragment. But there is nothing to say about the puppet show.

The fourth play, Zhong Kui Drunk, was the favorite scene that night! Zhong Kui came to the underworld to slay the demons, but found that there were too many ghosts in the world, which was hard for him to cope with by himself. He was depressed in his heart and drank to drown his sorrows. Very lucky to find a complete video recording with subtitles!

When watching the scene, it was much more shocking than photos and videos. When Zhong Kui was drinking with a hip flask, the water drops were not bad at all, and his mouth was still open and closed! After that, I got drunk and fell asleep, and I snored with rhythm, and the lights dimmed. When we all thought it was over, Zhong Kui woke up from a dream, waved the sword to cut the demon, and once again issued the rhetoric to cut all the demons in the world.

The last play is "Lantern Festival Music", which tells all kinds of strange things at the Lantern Festival. I found a video of last year, some puppets have changed their appearance, but the content is the same ~ the last paragraph is a lion dance performance, which makes up for our regret that we didn't see the first play "Lion Dance".

For more than an hour's performance, not a minute can be distracted ~ It took such a long time to describe the experience of watching a puppet show, because it really shocked me, and I felt that it was rare and worthy of respect to have such a group of people holding on to one thing. The fare of 21 yuan is really worth the money! I really recommend that you go? Quanzhou? You can go and see this ancient and timeless puppet show ~

Kaiyuan Temple

The famous Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou is hidden in the market. Although it is not a special festival, there are still many people who burn incense and visit. Kaiyuan Twin Towers was once a landmark building in Quanzhou. I happened to be repairing it when I went, so I had to wait and see from a distance.

Kaiyuan Post Office is also a different scenery in Kaiyuan Temple. I picked out a mailbox with my friends, and sent everything I wanted to say to each other with my blessing ~

When I was walking to the bell tower, I saw a small sign at the entrance of the alley, reminding us that there was a Wenchuang store in the alley, so I thought I would go and find out in a hurry.

The name of Wenchuang Store is "Dashitang". After entering the door, there is a whole postcard wall, which is more beautiful than what we saw in Kaiyuan Post Office and Yuanhetang Post Office. Through flow is particularly cool, so we sat in the courtyard and wrote postcards to our friends for more than an hour ~

Thank you for the unexpected places in this trip, which made every trip different from others and memorable.

There are still many such ancient shops in Quanzhou ~ There are no colorful neon lights, which gives the hairdresser a sense of solemnity like a craftsman. If you look patiently, you will certainly find the hidden secrets of this city ~

One of the oldest mosques in China

The last stop of the journey, where did you choose Arab Muslims? China? Qingjing Temple, the oldest existing Islamic temple, was founded. ? Quanzhou? Port or sea? The Silk Road? An important stop, when many Arabs entered? China? Trade. Silk road trade in full swing not only makes? Quanzhou? Hong kong became at that time with? Alexander? A port with the same name as Hong Kong makes it even more? Quanzhou? Become the introduction of Islam? China? One of the earliest areas. Historically,? Quanzhou? There used to be seven mosques, and Qingjing Temple was one of them.

Although Qingjing Temple can be viewed by tourists, the chapel still has strict rules, so you can't enter it at will. Compared with other monasteries, Qingjing Temple is really much quieter, as if both body and mind were quiet.

this trip is almost over here! Quanzhou is really a rare place that still retains its urban character, compared with Xiamen? Fuzhou has some unique flavors. Even after a few years, I went to different places at home and abroad. I still remember the excitement of looking for a taste and watching a puppet show in Quanzhou ... I hope this city can also bring you surprises and discover more secrets of your city ~
