Let's start with the east gate at the intersection of Wenling Road and Donghu Street.
The first main road section is Chongfu Road.
Chongfu Road is named after a Chongfu Temple on this road.
Not far from the intersection of Chongfu Road, you can smell a strong smell of old ginger. Two hundred meters away from the intersection, there is a well-known "Zhong Ji Jiang Mu Duck". This ginger duck is crowded every day, and there are waves of diners waiting in line for this duck. There is a small cake shop called Blessing opposite the ginger duck. The gongs and exquisite cupcakes sold in it are all made by the boss's love. It is said that the boss used to make cakes in the hotel! Later, I came out to run this small shop myself. There are almost no cupcakes left in this small shop every day!
One hundred meters away from the "Bell-recorded Ginger Duck" is the famous ancient temple in Quanzhou-Chongfu Temple. Located in Chongfu Road, Licheng District, formerly known as Qianfo Temple, it was later renamed Chongsheng Temple, Hongzhong Temple and Chongfu Temple. Together with Kaiyuan Temple and Chengtian Temple, it is called the three jungles of Quanzhou. 1982 was designated as the second batch of provincial cultural relics protection units by Fujian provincial government. Chongfu Temple is another temple that teaches Shaolin Wushu after the abolition of Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. After the renovation, the style of Daxiong Hall maintained the provisions of the Ming Dynasty, including the Geng Ying Tower, Thousand-person Ding and Chongfu Temple in Hong Zhong. Hong Zhong, cast in the early Ming Dynasty, has a loud voice, and "Chongfu Night Bell" is one of the eight scenic spots in Quanzhou.
Behind Chongfu Road, there are two rows of beautiful kapok trees near Teachers College. Spring is coming, and the kapok trees on both sides are very lively! But after reading it, it should not be hit by thick kapok. After crossing Chongfu Road, we will go back to East Street.
If you want to eat in Dongjie, you must start with the famous "Dongjie Li Lou Meat Zongzi". Dongjie Chonglou Dumpling House (Shi Lan Chonglou Dumpling House in Licheng, Quanzhou) has always been made according to the traditional methods of ancestors, maintaining the quality of products and excavating the essence of local food culture. After nearly 20 years of continuous efforts, its products are well-known at home and abroad. Won the honorary titles of "Top Ten Famous Snacks in Quanzhou", "Famous Snacks in Fujian", "Famous Snacks in China", "Famous Snack Bar in Fujian" and "Famous Products in China".
There are several good snack bars at the intersection of Nan Jun Road and Dongjie Street: Bodhi Zhai Caicai; Big bear shaved ice shop is a small shop that is about to burst in summer; The "Jiguo Chinese hamburger" from Kaohsiung is the most authentic in the whole state! Jiaozi in it is also doing very well. Two dishes that you must order every time you go.
Speaking of East Street, you can't leave Zhuangyuan Street, Zhuangyuan Street, Zhuangyuan Street Cultural Tourism Street is located in the back street of Licheng District. It is a pedestrian street with Zhongshan Road in the west, East Street in the north and a mysterious temple in the middle. It is called the first street in Bamin. Zhuangyuan Street starts from Zhongshan Road in the west and ends in Nanjun Lane in the east, with a total length of 483 meters, which is divided into three blocks. The starting point of the block is a residential pedestrian street. There are three archways in the first block-"Zou Lu by the Sea", "Yue Xian Waterfront" and "Four Bachelor". In the center of the block is a public leisure square of more than 700 square meters, and on one side of the square is a large-scale wall sculpture of "Ancestors Developing Jinjiang". At the entrance of the second block, three archways, namely, Renfengxingchun, Baiyun Gudi and Taikang Zhao Shi, were built. The two wall carvings of "Seeing Lao Zi" and "Lao Zi Going through Customs" on the square walls in the area reflected the scene that Confucius saw Lao Zi and Lao Zi wrote the Tao Te Ching, which was different from Hangu Customs. The most striking thing about the third block is that the corner imitates the stone archway of the "number one scholar" in the Song Dynasty. The archway is engraved with the names of six Quanzhou champions, including Zeng, Liang Kejia, Zhuang Jichang and so on. The stone archway of "No.1 Scholar" and the reliefs of "Carp yue longmen" and "Yu Qiao Geng Du" beside it reflect the talented people and profound cultural accumulation of Quanzhou, an ancient city. Zhuangyuan Street was transformed from the historic Zhuangyuan Square. There are important cultural relics and historic sites such as Yuanming Temple and Innocent Source Well in the street. The reconstructed Zhuangyuan Street retains the traditional architectural features of Quanzhou residential buildings, and through the contrast of red bricks and white stones and rich architectural sketches, an ancient street space environment with rich cultural colors is constructed.
There is no best tourist season in such a small scenic spot. In the eyes of young people in Quanzhou, Zhuangyuan Street is already a combination of old culture and new fashion. The characteristic bar takes root in the neighborhood, adding a lot of vitality to the antique Zhuangyuan Street. If you just go to see the old memorial archway and visit the handicraft shops, it is natural that there is a special boutique next to the memorial archway after 9: 30 in the morning, which is very popular now, but if you are interested, you might as well come out for a walk at night, where the lights are brightly lit.
We won't introduce the religion in Quanzhou in detail for the time being. Zhuangyuan Street also has a lot of messy bar culture, which may be the characteristic of Quanzhou. People in Quanzhou like drinking and boxing while drinking. Many people hate this kind of behavior, but I like the way Quanzhou people draw fists. Very intelligent entertainment game.
There are not only bars in Zhuangyuan Street, but also a string of incense that has been open for many years. Affordable food is also fresh and varied. It's a great pleasure in life to invite a few good friends to eat string of incense and drink beer there on weekends!
The bar on Zhuangyuan Street is open the longest "on the road". Because On the Road is a rock-based music bar, some original rock singers often hold concerts here. Just like the name of the bar, "on the road" is also the spirit of these rockers. Although I seldom go to bars, this theme bar has always been my favorite bar.
When Zhuangyuan Street was interrupted, there was a good shop called 0595 Carp. This store is the earliest street cultural stronghold in Quanzhou, and it is full of fashionable equipment points for young people who like skateboarding, graffiti, hip-hop and hip-hop. There are many T-shirts from Taiwan Province Province, which are of good quality and affordable. These are also symbols of Chaozhou culture in Quanzhou.
There is also a Hongshi restaurant behind Zhuangyuan Street, which is also very good. Hongshi Restaurant is an earlier theme restaurant in Quanzhou, which is engaged in the combination of Chinese and Western. The signature black pepper steak rice inside is very good! However, for students, the consumption of Redstone will be higher. There is a boutique called ACC next to Hongshi restaurant. You can find some beautiful small home decorations in it.
West street
After crossing East Street, we started walking towards West Street.
First of all, introduce the egg tart shop near the bell tower. The egg tart inside is definitely more delicious than KFC's affordable. The Happy Bear restaurant next to the egg tart shop is also a cheap and elegant restaurant. Next to Quanzhou Cinema: Tian Luofen, Icelandic husband.
A small number of old buildings from the Republic of China were preserved on both sides of West Street. It makes people feel out of time. The tender spring skin in the middle section of West Street is also famous in Quanzhou. When eating spring rolls every year, people who come here to buy spring rolls can almost line up more than ten meters away, which is very spectacular!
There is a home at the traffic lights at the intersection of West Street and Xinhua Road: greedy duck. It is also worth eating! That smell can float half of West Street. Kaiyuan Temple in West Street will not be introduced in detail.
Zhongshan Road
Let me introduce Zhongshan Road first. Most of them are middle and low-grade clothing stores. However, there are many beautiful alleys running through Nan Jun Road and Xinhua Road on Zhongshan Road. As for the section of Zhongshan North Road, as long as it is mainly hospitals and schools, Weiyuan Building can often see exhibitions of some old painters, and there is an underground bookstore in Quanzhou that goes to Zhongshan Park through Weiyuan Building. It's only a short walk to Huaqiao New Village, and it's worth visiting! There are private cafes, private restaurants, and authentic old-fashioned old villas with Nanyang style.
When we returned to Zhongshan Road, there was an all-South Christian church. At the entrance of the church is an old Shanghai barber shop, which seems to be a state-run and very old barber shop, which is special in this section.
The first lane of Zhongshan Road near Xinhua Road: Zheng Tong Lane. There is a starting point art school in it, and friends who like painting can go and have a look.
After another turn, we will continue to take the second alley: Kuixia Lane. The most famous snack bar in Kuixia Lane is the one at the door! There is the most authentic meat swallow in Quanzhou, and there is a signboard called Xiaodian! Because it is delicious and cheap, the business is super good! You often have to wait in line.
After eating noodles, we went back to Zhongshan Road and went to the third hutong: Hu Axiang. Although Hu Axiang is not a big hutong, it is basically a small printing factory in Quanzhou. At the corner of Hu Axiang Lane, there is a nice little cafe called "Ancient Coffee". It's also worth visiting.
Then go back to Zhongshan Road, cross Tin Street and come to the fourth alley: Goldfish Lane. The old Yuanxiao at the corner of Goldfish Lane is a treasure of Quanzhou. Tangyuan is made by putting spherical stuffing into a bucket filled with glutinous rice flour and rolling it into a ball. Big stuffing is thin and sweet. The same name as Yuanxiao is rock sugar fungus soup, which is sweet but not greasy, rotten but not thick, and melts in the mouth. Guo Si soup and radish sour beside the Lantern Festival are very good! There is also a first-class roast chicken leg next to it.
Zhongshan South Road is my favorite street, because the shops on both sides of this road and some buildings of the Republic of China are well preserved. Just look up and you can see the Chinese and English business names and store styles of the above stores. At present, most of Zhongshan South Road mainly sells bicycles and electric cars. It has lost its former prosperity and become very quiet and leisurely. The food on Zhongshan South Road will also make your mouth water! This is only the fourth alley I want to introduce: Watergate Lane. As soon as you get to the alley, there is a smell of meat! Surrounded by delicious mutton restaurants, beef restaurants, dog meat restaurants, one after another, every family's business is booming! Further inside is the delicious Zhajiang Noodles store, the most famous Watergate batter in Quanzhou.
Further down, there are five castles Wubao is the densest timber area in Quanzhou, but its area is not large. Fort Wu is a very interesting place! It has one castle, two castles, three castles, four castles and five castles. There are so many branches in such a short alley! More than a dozen families are connected into a castle. The most interesting thing is that there are only two houses in Fort Two? I really can't figure out why this alley is named like this. It is said that this whole alley was originally called Bamboo Lane. It is named after the whole alley where bamboo used to be sold.
Go through Wubao, and then return to Zhongshan South Road. Go down to Zhongshan South Road to Jingang Lane. There is a fried oyster at the corner of Jingang Lane, which is also very famous! But I didn't eat very well. Go down and you will arrive at Qiaoguang Cinema. There is a steamed bun in front of this cinema, which is also delicious! It's also an old brand. Go to the end of Zhongnan Road and you will find the legendary Tianhou Palace.
Founded in the second year of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1 196), it is located on the bank of Jinjiang in the south of the city. Mazu Lin Moniang, a native of Meizhou Island, Putian County, was born in the first year of Stegosaurus in Song Taizu (AD 960). When she grew up, Lin decided to do good and help others all her life, never marry, and devoted herself to studying medicine and disaster prevention. She is smooth-tempered, enthusiastic and helpful, solves problems and guides villagers to avoid misfortune. Anyone who is killed is willing to ask her for help. At that time, there was a plague epidemic in Putian, and Lin Moniang tried her best to save the villagers with pesticides, and she really recovered. The villagers thanked her for saving their lives.
Also known as Tianfei Palace, it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. Tianfei Palace is the Mazu Tempel with the highest existing building specifications, the earliest age and the largest scale in China. Tianhou Palace was built in the second year of Song Qingyuan (A.D. 1 196), and the government often held ceremonies to worship the sea for merchant ships.
Mazu, named Molinyang, was a civilian in Meizhou Island in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that when she was born, she was fragrant and radiant everywhere. She did good deeds all her life and guided the villagers to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Later, she was killed to save her father from the storm. People remembered her virtue, regarded her as the goddess of the sea, and built a temple to worship her. Before going out to sea, local fishermen should worship in front of Tianhou Palace.
In the fourth year of Song Yongxi (AD 987), on the Double Ninth Festival, Mazu's father and brother sailed north, and the west wind was in a hurry. On the way, they encountered strong winds and waves, and the ship bumped violently in the stormy waves. Mazu was very sensitive to the death of his father and brother, and was rescued by his father. Both his brother and himself died. In this way, the villagers praised her for "knowing the secret law, predicting the disaster, and the villagers were ill." If you can cross the sea on the mat and shuttle between islands in the clouds, people call you the goddess and the dragon lady. Because Mo Niang was very kind to the people before her death, she was honored as the goddess of the sea by the coastal people after she ascended to heaven. Build a temple for sacrifice. Since the establishment of Tianhou Palace in Quanzhou, the name of Tianhou Palace has been given by Zong Wei as "Shunji", which means "Shunji and Shunfeng".
Tianhou main hall, despite vicissitudes, the wooden buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties are still well preserved, and the components of later generations remain. The main hall covers an area of 635.5 square meters; Sumitomo Building is built at the bottom of the platform, which is 1 m above the ground and made of granite. The building structure is special and the spatial changes are very rich. The doors and windows are curved and staggered, the carvings are exquisite and fine, and the patterns are rich and colorful. There are not only geometric patterns, but also flowers, aquatic animals, birds and animals. There is a phoenix peony in the wood branch, and the longevity Liang Le visits the heart and shows the female temple. The paint in the temple adopts Li Zhong and Ruyi, one of the "Eight Immortals of Warmth" painted by Judy, and the green space is carved with auspicious symbols such as a hundred Xiang Lian and a magpie climbing a plum tree, and some of them are animals, meaning "longevity". The basic relief in the temple is even more dazzling. Eight horses, eight treasures, puffer fish, birds and dragons, and various flowers show that ornamental fish ride the wind and waves and compete with flowers. These are all patterns that show the theme of Taoism. With the mascot of Fu Lushou as the foil, it presents the extraordinary realm of the fairy family.
The top of the temple has nine ridges and double eaves, and it falls into the water on all sides. The main ridge is the highest point of Tianhou Temple, and the colorful porcelain dragon play beads at both ends are beautifully shaped and bright, which shows the supreme theme of the whole big ridge dragon. The four ridges are combined with phoenix patterns, corresponding to the big ridge, and the back is used as a character story, with dragons and phoenixes, Kirin, Xuanwu and Shuang Hu, which means auspiciousness and birthday celebration. It is one of the unique architectural arts in southern Fujian.
Therefore, Tianhou Palace is well worth visiting! Don't miss visiting two old shops next to Tianhou Palace, one is four fruit soup and the other is mung bean cake. This mung bean cake is no worse than Gulangyu's mung bean cake!
Jubao steet
Old Street Story: Gathering Street in Qinglong Lane
There is an old saying in Quanzhou called "Chong-Ryong Kim, Yinjubao", which describes two streets in Quanzhou, Qinglong Lane and Jubao Street.
Qinglong Lane, which is just 100 meters long, and several dilapidated but towering ancient courtyards must be called "gold" in its heyday. According to reports, in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the south of the city was the commercial center of Erythrina, especially Jubao Street. As described by China literati, "A city with an important position is more prosperous than Nanguan. Merchants from all corners of the country, all the tributes, all gathered together. " "The city is full of drunken singing and dancing, and several people are immersed in it." Such a bustling Jubao Street can only offer "silver".
Jubao Street is in the south of the city, just turn to Wanshou Road, and it is one mile long from the street corner to Cheqiaotou at the southern end. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, a large number of foreign businessmen came ashore from the port of Erythrina for trade. Import and export commodities mainly include jewelry, spices, medicines, silks and satins, tea, porcelain, bronzes and ironware, hence the name "Jubao Street". The "Cheqiaotou" at the end of the street was the distribution center of Chinese and foreign goods in that year. In ancient times, Qinglong Lane was connected with Jubao Street. Now it is separated by the Neigou River in the middle section of Jubao Street by twenty or thirty meters. Qinglong Lane used to be a place where dignitaries lived together, and people did business in Jubao Street. Go to the quiet and convenient Qinglong Lane nearby to build a house; It is also said that there used to be many banks in Qinglong Lane, similar to the present financial street. Businessmen who trade in Jubao Street often go through the money houses in Qinglong Lane. But in any case, Qinglong Lane is either the elite of Jubao Street or the economic lifeline of Jubao Street. In ancient times, it was very appropriate to call it "Chong-Ryong Kim and Yinjubao".
Jubao Street is named after Jubao, and Qinglong Lane is named after Youlong Drinking Water Stream.
Qinglong Lane is suitable for living. It is quiet and elegant, and there is a lot of silence in the middle of trouble. There are few pedestrians in Qinglong Lane in the rain, and the buildings here are full of traces of years. In addition to the typical Qing-style dwellings, there are also small houses built by some overseas Chinese who returned from Southeast Asia in the last century 10-20. Director Yang said that in recent years, the modern architectural atmosphere of flip-top has become more and more prosperous, and a large number of ancient houses have been destroyed. Even the existing ancient houses are mostly seriously damaged, and the infrastructure in the ancient houses is quite old, which can not meet the needs of residents' modern life. At the same time, the street landscape has also been greatly damaged, the original trees have been cut down, and the slate pavement coordinated with the ancient residential buildings has been changed into cement pavement. According to statistics, at present, in Qinglong Lane, there are still eight ancient houses in China with a long history and two foreign small foreign buildings with a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Nanjun lane
In the Song Dynasty, there was a family of "three generations and five scholars" in Nanjun Lane: Cui Gong, his sons Li Ze and Zheng Zheng, and his grandchildren Huang Chen and Steven Song, all of whom were high school scholars and won people's admiration. Some people called them "Nan Shuai", and the villagers built Nanjun archway for this purpose, and they became famous from then on.
Nan Jun Lane was widened and renamed Nan Jun Road. However, as Quanzhou people, we are still used to calling it Nanjun Lane. Now it has become a fashionable block in Quanzhou.
On the east side of Nanjun Lane, there is also an ancient temple-Chengtian Temple. Because there is the word "platform" on the horizontal plaque of the first mountain gate of the temple, it is also called platform temple.
This used to be the South Garden where Chinese envoys stayed in primary schools during the Five Dynasties. From the last years of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty to the first year of Zhongxing (957-958), the original name of the temple was nanzenji, and it was renamed in Jingdezhen in the Northern Song Dynasty (1007). Its scale is second only to Kaiyuan Temple, and it is one of the three jungles in Quanzhou. The existing temple was rebuilt in the 30th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1692). Chengtian Temple, formerly known as nanzenji and Yuetai Temple, is located on the east side of Nanjun Lane in the urban area. Founded in the Xiande period of the Zhou Dynasty after the Five Dynasties (954-959 AD). At first, the land of the temple was dedicated to the primary school by our messengers, and it was called "the former site of Nanyuan". Soon, Quanzhou, Fujian, and Xu, Chen and other clans donated land for expansion. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the scope of this temple was close to East Street, and the east side of Nanjun Lane was almost entirely produced by Chengtian Temple. In its heyday, there were more than 40 large and small temples in the temple. In another courtyard, there are Guangxiao Temple on the left and Yuanchang Temple on the right, and there are many temples, such as Chen Yi Temple, Shanshan Temple, Hetuian Temple and Xiebao Temple. There are Guanyin Pavilion in the four corners of the temple to show the boundary, and there are more than 700 monks/kloc-0. Known as "the first brake in southern Fujian". It is also known as the three jungles of Quanzhou with Kaiyuan Temple and Chongfu Temple.
In the past 100 years, temple property has been occupied many times. The original temple covers an area of 73 mu, and now there are only 45 mu of 29,700 square meters left. There are still some temple properties to be recovered.
At present, Quanzhou No.5 Middle School is in the east, Guangjin Primary School in the south, Ying Ge Mountain in the north and the street in the west.
The name of the temple has been changed several times, formerly known as nanzenji, also known as Yuetai Temple.
In the second year of Song Chunhua (99 1), it was renamed Shouning Temple. In the fourth year of Jingdezhen (1007), the court named the Temple of Heaven. In the second year of Jiayou (1056), it was renamed Nengren Temple. In the seventh year of Zheng He (1 1 17), it was renamed Chengtian Temple until today. The full name is "Fengfengtai Chengtian Temple".
Historically, many politicians attached great importance to Chengtian Temple. Daoguang's Jinjiang County Records? Volume 69 "Temple View" contains: At the beginning of the construction of the temple, "900 stones were placed in the monk's field, which was beneficial to the abolition of the hospital. "In the Yuan Dynasty, the rulers respected Buddhism. In the 29th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1292), Pingzhang also lost power in politics and led an expedition to Java. He released the ocean from Houzhu Port, but failed to return it, and was punished by "beating the rod" and "not taking a third of his family's assets". Because of this, Hei also lost his "truth, goodness and beauty, truth, goodness and beauty, and propagating Buddhist scriptures". In the third year of Yanyou (13 16), he gave alms to Buddhist temples all over the country, engraved with the tablet "Reading Classics in 120 Great Temples", which mentioned giving alms to Chengtian Temple in Quanzhou. ...
Nan Jun Road First Hutong: Xinfukou. There's a nice little cafe called The Missing. Because the location is very inconspicuous, it takes some thought to find friends. Go further on Nanjun Lane, and you will find Tin Street.
