Nothing is difficult in the world, what is difficult is persistence for thousands of years.

After watching Puxian Opera, it is the habit of many Putian people to have a bowl of black meat.

What's your impression of Putian? Shoemaker? Wood wholesale? Or a number of Putian hospitals distributed all over the country? For Putian businessmen, business is either not done or monopolized! As a fellow villager in the same province, I have to admire their unity and professional ability, so I have always been curious about what kind of soil and water can cultivate so many powerful business people, so I found an opportunity to go to Putian before the Lantern Festival and unexpectedly found that it is very suitable for travel and vacation!

First, there are hot springs, and there are many resorts &; Hotel; Secondly, Putian has a profound historical and cultural heritage, and it is also the hometown of gods. There is also a famous Mazu empress at home and abroad, and Yang Guifei's rival Jiang ... So every festival, the ceremony of worshipping the gods is always particularly grand and wonderful, which is a tradition for them and a unique celebration experience for us. Third, there are many delicious foods! The weight is really not expensive!

One thing is quite unexpected. The ratio of male to female in Putian City is slightly unbalanced. I was skeptical about the male-female ratio of 3: 1 in Fujian. After reading the number of men's clothing stores in shopping malls and the gender distribution of passers-by, I really believed it. I soak in the hot spring in the hotel, and the female soup is empty around 8 o'clock, and the male soup will be busy until after midnight ... By the way, there are actually many handsome guys in Putian. If they are not afraid of being too traditional, just find them!

You don't have to go to Meizhou Island to play in Putian, because most scenic spots are far away from the city. This time, I chose several scenic spots with convenient transportation in the city and gained a lot.

Guqiaolou

A single building can be used for observation in ancient times. Located in the center of Putian, the ancient pagoda is the only remains of the Drum Tower in Fujian Province, and Putian people often regard it as a symbol of Xinghua House. Nowadays, the local people make the best use of it, not only to turn it into a scenic spot, but also to turn it into a literary "Puyang study". Everyone can sit down and drink tea and read books, go to the opera or lean against the railing to overlook the landscape of the old city.

There are several temples beside the ancient pagoda, including the beautifully decorated Wenfeng Palace and Mazu Tempel. The temples in Fujian are very gorgeous. From Quanzhou to Putian, I feel that deep-rooted religious beliefs are inseparable from local culture. ...

Nanshan Guanghua temple

"The speech is very profound and clean, and there is no limit to the joy in this life." Nanshan Guanghua Temple is a thousand-year-old temple built in the Southern Dynasties and the seat of Fujian Buddhist College. Here you can often see monks who practice and study, and even volunteers who check the health code. The first thing they say to you is "Amitabha".

This temple is very big. Personally, I think it is a unique exquisite wood carving in Putian, such as window grilles, doorframes, eaves and beams ... not only exquisite workmanship, but also exquisite color matching. The opening and closing of doors and windows is quite special, and the yogi can get into the temple through the doorway, while the wooden window is a rotating opening way, which has both ancient charm and different exotic customs.

In Fujian, Buddhism is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Li Shutong, the famous master of Hongyi, died in Quanzhou. He is the author of "Farewell". He once wrote a "Cool Song" in Jin Xian Temple (now Guanghua Temple). Today, his poems are engraved on the pillars in the temple to commemorate this fate.

Mulan cup

Feel the ancient water conservancy project in Mulanbei, Putian. Mulan Monument was built in the first year of Zhiping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1064). It is a famous large-scale water conservancy project in ancient times and one of the five ancient dams in China. It is still intact and plays its role in water conservancy. It is said that the idea of Jianbei came from a passerby, Qian Siniang, who has a statue in the park (there are so many female celebrities in Putian).

Mulan North Cultural Park is very distinctive. Except for the old dam, which is a bit thrilling to walk, statues are enshrined in memorial halls and exhibition halls. As the New Year approaches, firecrackers and beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere in Putian. ...

Putian art museum

Putian Art Museum is quite willful, and the indoor area will not be opened until the new exhibition is launched. Maybe they think outdoor design is enough to support the function of "art museum". I chose this scenic spot mainly because it is "free" and the pictures on the Internet are also very design-oriented. But I suggest to check whether there is an exhibition before coming here, so as not to fan the air.

There are two styles of outdoor stone carving: Chinese and Western. The mushroom-shaped terrace is a bit like feel Putian in the luminous forest of Singapore. Beautiful scenery, misty clouds and lush trees. The design of the main exhibition hall is a log theme, which blends well with the surrounding ecological environment. Even if you don't watch the exhibition, taking your family for a walk is a pleasant experience.

Wanjiao snacks

Walking into the old town of Putian and having a literary online celebrity meal, nostalgic furniture, layout and songs are not uncommon, but details are the key. The antique door is decorated with a flag that can only be found all over the country, and the handle of the drawer is super similar to the bronze in the temple!

The location of the snack bar is a little off center, so I have to look carefully to find the entrance. The local elder sister who received me was very enthusiastic. She always showed me where I could take photos and instructed me to get the seasoning myself. In fact, Putian dialect is quite cordial after listening for a long time. I can understand 20-30% directly if I basically understand Minnan dialect.

Jiaozi, their head water, is really delicious! The material is not water at all, and the price is real. A whole circle of brine sausage is very distinctive! Spiced food tastes good, too, slightly different from southern Fujian.
