    I checked the information and it says the scenic area was built in 1979. Nearly 50 years have passed, and it's surprising that such a beautiful place hasn't been awarded a five-star rating. There's not much commercialization inside, and it's quite peaceful with few people during the off-season.

    Puppetry, one of Quanzhou's intangible cultural heritage, is a must-see in Quanzhou. Tickets are in high demand, with several slots available depending on availability, so advance reservations are essential. The play we performed that day was about Huo Qubing, and the actors were incredibly enthusiastic, with a compelling plot that left the audience spellbound. The play was performed in the local dialect, but thanks to the monitors, I could barely understand it. It's definitely worth seeing.
