It is fresher than Xiamen and thicker than Quanzhou. It is No.1 in Fujian
May 1st, 2022

In Fujian, Gulangyu has long been famous. Xiapu has the most beautiful beaches and an endless stream of photographers.

But you don’t necessarily know the millennium old city of Zhangzhou. It’s very close to Xiamen and can be reached by high-speed railway in 19 minutes.

Zhangzhou is known as “Zou Lu on the seashore”, but it has never been a popular tourist city, leaving only one side clean.

Come to Zhangzhou, you will feel its sea view is more artistic and fresh than Gulangyu, and its southern Fujian style is stronger than Quanzhou.

Southern Fujian style

Seaside scenery ▼

18600 square kilometers of sea area, 715 kilometers of coastline, 228 Islands

The ancient city of Zhangzhou is permeated with the breath of the sea and creates a beautiful coastal scenery.

island

Volcanic island is the only coastal volcanic geological landform in China. It is also a volcanic belt with the latest, largest scale, youngest age, most complete preservation and most characteristics in China.

The realistic Monument Valley, with its dreamy pink appearance and intricate space, has become a characteristic scenic spot that every young person who comes to the volcanic island must punch in.

Every corner of the island is suitable for taking photos. The same hot-air balloon, swing, hanging ring and swimming pool in Bali have everything.

Dongshan Island

Because the main island looks like a butterfly, also known as Butterfly Island, it is the second largest island in Fujian Province.

It consists of 43 small islands with a total area of about 194 square kilometers. It is known as the “tourism island on the West Bank of the Strait”.

Recommended route: Nanmen Bay - Jinluan Bay - Sufeng Huandao Road - Fengshi - Dongmen Island - Maluan Bay - Fishbone sandbank

Nanmen Bay is the most famous place on Dongshan Island and the location of the film left ear.

The houses in Nanmen Bay are painted with all kinds of colors. At first glance, I thought I was in a seaside town in Italy.

Nanyu is a small peninsula at the end of Nanmen Bay.

When the tide rises, Nanyu island is an isolated island that can only be seen from a distance. After the tide falls, a passable sandbar will appear between the sea. The tide will ebb and rise twice a day, and you can come to play according to the tide schedule.

Jinluan Bay is known as “Bolivia” on the sea. When the tide goes out, people linger on the horizon, mirror and beach.

Sufeng mountain is the highest mountain on Dongshan Island. Standing on the top of the mountain, the sky, sea, fishing villages and rocks are all in the bottom of your eyes.

The most beautiful scenery is the roundabout road. The blue road and bridge go all the way along the direction of the mountains. The car is driving on the road, with blue sea and blue sky on one side and lush forests and green mountains on the other.

You can choose to run here, walk here and see the scenery.

The wind stone moves in the sound of the waves. It is extremely interesting. It is named after the internal wind stone. It is known as “the first strange stone in the world”. It is the landmark landscape of Dongshan Island.

With the baptism of years, many historic sites have disappeared, but the rest of the landscape has been protected and is still dazzling.

Dongmenyu is located about one kilometer above the sea in the east of Tongshan ancient city, Dongshan Island, with a total area of nearly one square kilometer.

Dongmen Island, also known as tashu Island, has many cultural relics and beautiful forest springs. It is known as the “fairy mountain on the sea”.

Malan Bay is crescent shaped and has a wide view. It is one of the earliest scenic spots developed in Dongshan.

The water is clear, so you don’t have to worry about the risks of reefs and sharks. The whole scenic spot is blue, white and green, with looming red walls and green tiles.

Fishbone sandbank is a net red scenic spot with beautiful scenery but quite low-key. It is a sandy beach in the shape of fishbone in the middle of the sea.

The magic is that it will appear when the tide rises and falls.

Zhenhaijiao

Zhenhai cape is the projection of zhenhaiwei out of the sea, which is also the boundary between the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea.

Arriving at the Cape of Zhenhai, you can see the 300 degree sea view, the grass with flowers in full bloom at your feet, and the red and white lighthouse in the distance.

Baitang Bay

Baitang Bay in Longhai has a 3.2km half moon shaped original ecological beach and the famous Niutoushan ancient Huoshankou, the “Terra Cotta Warriors on the sea”.

The park retains the structural relics of central volcanic eruption and the geomorphic landscape of later weathering and erosion, and the basalt landform composed of more than 1.4 million columnar joints, with magnificent momentum.

Longmei Bay

“Paintings” of Longmei Bay in Zhangpu are inlaid on the sea eroded and weathered granite, with thousands of gestures.

Ancient Zhangzhou ▼

The lively villages in Southern Fujian and the huge ancient castle can best show the appearance of the original village in Zhangzhou.

Nanjing Tulou

The earth building in Nanjing was built before the 11th century and has a history of more than 1000 years.

Here is a collection of the tallest, largest, smallest, strangest and best protected earth buildings.

Recommended scenic spots: tianluokeng, Yuchang building, Taxia Village

Tianluokeng is a classic Tulou image in Fujian. A square building is surrounded by four circular buildings, which is jokingly called “four dishes and one soup”.

The playing methods of tianluokeng are very diverse. You can overlook, look down and look up. Each angle has its own merits. It can be said that there is no dead angle in 360 degrees.

The most classic viewing place should be the viewing platform on the mountain. Standing there, you can overlook the whole picture of “four dishes and one soup”.

From the outside, Yuchang building is no different except that it is larger than ordinary earth buildings.

Stepping into the gate, you will find that its column is crooked. The third floor is tilted to the right and the fourth floor is tilted to the left, but it has been standing here steadily for more than 600 years.

The residents in Yuchang building also did not avoid the fate of changing to business. The kitchens on the first floor were changed into shops and stalls.

The earth buildings in Taxia village are very rich in shapes. In addition to the common round and square earth buildings, there are apron and ruler shaped earth buildings.

What’s more unique is that there are two circular earth buildings at the corner of the winding stream. If you are willing to spend 15 minutes climbing the viewing platform on the top of the hill, a panoramic view of the “Taiji” water town will be displayed in front of you.

Yunshui ballad ancient town

The ancient town, formerly known as changjiao village, is an ancient village with a long history. It was renamed because of the film cloud water ballad.

There are more than ten hundred year old banyan trees on the Bank of the stream in the village, and there is a row of two-story old brick and wood structure houses beside the ancient road, which is the old street city with a history of hundreds of years.

Zhangzhou ancient city

The ancient city of Zhangzhou is the epitome of old Zhangzhou. Although the ancient streets and roads here are very simple, they have a strong southern Fujian style.

The whole street is full of regular arcades, and most of the traditional old shops are still wooden doors, retaining the life style of old Zhangzhou.

Daimei village is the largest and best preserved ancient residential building on water in Longhai City,
