When Fujian is mentioned, everyone will think of Xiamen. As a popular tourist city in China, Xiamen's literature and romance have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of every China person. Even if I have never been to Xiamen, I have heard a little about the beauty of Gulangyu Island. Nowadays, Xiamen's economy is developing rapidly. With the development of tourism, its popularity is in full swing, and even many people mistakenly think that it is the capital of Fujian, which makes? Gong Zheng? Fuzhou said he was wronged.

In fact, in Fujian, in addition to Xiamen, there is such a city, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Whether it is economy, culture or scenery, it is even worse than Xiamen, and even many Fujian locals love this place more. It is Quanzhou, which is obviously quieter and more livable than Xiamen, which is overcrowded. Next, Bian Xiao will introduce the oldest street in Quanzhou, which is over 1300 years ago. It is a living architectural museum in China. Do you know where it is?

It seems that every city has a memorable street, such as Zhongshan Road in Xiamen, Nanjing Road in Shanghai and Confucius Temple in Nanjing? Quanzhou is no exception. As a national historical and cultural city, Quanzhou started its economic development as early as the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, leaving behind many ancient buildings. Among them, Quanzhou West Street is the oldest street in Quanzhou. There are many shops on both sides of the street, mostly various grocery stores. Although shabby, it is full of historical heaviness, which makes people return to the most authentic Minnan customs.

As the earliest street developed in Quanzhou, it left the oldest prosperity in Quanzhou. There are more than 20 cultural relics protection units at all levels in the street, and there are countless ancient buildings, ancient sites and stone carvings, as well as some popular attractions, such as Kaiyuan Temple and Dongxi Tower. The buildings here retain the most primitive features of southern Fujian, with red brick walls and leaking windows. Under the baptism of wind and rain, some have been devastated, but it is this original flavor that is commendable.

The streets are crowded with people, including young girls in bright clothes, young men riding battery cars and frail old ladies. Quanzhou West Street under the lens is like a living architectural museum, which makes people linger.
