Mobile Travelers' Quanzhou Walking Guide👋 No DSLR needed to shoot amazing photos! Here's a fun and photogenic two-day itinerary for you～ Day 1👉 Old Town Artsy Hangout 📍 West Street The century-old arcade street is perfect for photography! Red brick ancient houses paired with various artsy shops make every shot a vintage masterpiece (a little secret: the steps at Kaiyuan Temple are an excellent photo spot). Don’t forget to check in at the famous old shops next to the Bell Tower for spring rolls and meat rice dumplings, super authentic! Day 2👉 Modern Vibes Check-in 📍 Donghai Taihe Plaza Who knew Quanzhou had such a stylish place! The transparent dome mall has amazing natural light during the day, and the Ferris wheel lights up the plaza romantically at night. Recommended: the 5th-floor viewing platform, where you can capture both Jinjiang Bridge and the city nightscape🌃 ✨Photography Tips: 1. West Street has the softest light at 9 AM and 5 PM 2. Use a wide-angle lens for architecture shots at Taihe Plaza 3. Overcast days are great for capturing the texture of Minnan ancient houses 4. For cultural shots, try candid photos of locals drinking tea 🍜Food Radar: - Shengwen Old Brand Wonton on West Street (30-year-old shop) - Qunzhong Beef Restaurant (featured on A Bite of China) - Minnan snack collection on the 4th floor of Taihe Plaza 🏠Accommodation Suggestions: Stay near West Street for a lively, local atmosphere Choose hotels around Taihe Plaza for quality and comfort 💡Useful Tips: - West Street alleys are narrow, walking is recommended - Shared electric scooters are very convenient in Quanzhou city center - Remember to bring a power bank to capture every beautiful moment
