Why foreigners should visit Quanzhou, a rarely visited but totally underrated city! EP15, S2

I stayed in Quanzhou for quite some time, and it quickly became one of my favorite cities in China.
Foreign tourists are rare, but Quanzhou is a hidden gem. And I have enough reasons to say that. As the birth place of Fujianese culture and the first Chinese trade ports that opened up to the outside world Quanzhou is the place to find a huge diversity in Fujian Province:
⭕️ Kong Fu and Shaolin Temple
⭕️ Beautifully preserved historical city quarter (UNESCO sites!)
⭕️ Great food, laid back, and stunning landscape
⭕️ Incredibly diverse religion, and you can find temples, mosques, churches...
and the list goes on...
In short, it is a super laid-back city with modern charm, and an ancient soul!
Join me on this adventure :)

    I have lived in China for 12 years and yet still there is so much to see and explore. Your videos are excellent for bringing new ideas and new desires within China. I still feel excited at the thought of so much exploration still to be done.😃 Thank you so much for helping generate that excitement.

I’m an american Chinese never being to china, and I’m so glad to see my motherland is beautiful, peaceful and progressing. My mother described the common free tea offering on street in her home town, witness it still exists just warms my heart. Kind people offer drinks to strangers and strangers accept the offer with trust, this is how society should be.

    People forget what happened in 1949 let me remind you The culture revolution this is when Mao destroyed the history of China in its entirety In the past 15 years China has started to repair the damage Most places you see are no older than 15 year’s hundreds of fake ancient villages have popped up and to be honest they are abysmal Food here in China, if you like the mix of garlic soy sauce and ginger then you are ok because everything has these ingredients including chickens feet heads and butts dogs cats and rats I’ve been here 22 years and I’ve yet to have eaten anything Chinese that I can honestly say was good So if you are thinking of coming here chose a city that that has authentic western restaurants and stay in top hotels like the Hilton otherwise you will starve And don’t forget it’s Chinese culture to rip off foreigners in shops bars and restaurants Good luck travelers

    I put Quanzhou on my bucketlist a few years ago after seeing a video from Blondie in China, before I was not aware of the city. Over time I discover that I've underrated Fujian province as a whole (as many other parts of China) and your videos confirm it. Now waiting for cheaper tickets, flights to China are crazy expensive at the moment. Curious to see what more you'll uncover visiting all the other provinces of China.

The soup base comprises meat (chicken/port bone idk) and seafood (shrimps, crabs, maybe fish too?) 9:09 - 中山路 Zhongshan Road is one of the first roads receiving modernised concrete pavement in the city, constructed back in the 1920s. The buildings adopt the southeastern Asian style, brought back by old Quanzhou ppl making their living overseas. The clocktower 钟楼 (the white tower 10:28) on the road is a must-visit. 16:18 - 摩尼教 Manichaeism also exists in Quanzhou, with 草庵 Cao'an being the last trace of Manichaeism existence in China. 19:42 - Had you been to the mosque it is probably worthy of paying a visit to 灵山伊斯兰教圣墓, an Islamic tomb constructed in the 1300s. 22:06 - 洛阳桥 Luoyang bridge completed in the 1000s is China's very first harbour bridge. Note the bow-shaped bases to protect the piers from the tide. As well, the river and the bridge were named after the ancient Chinese capital city of Luoyang, when its residents and the royal families fled to Quanzhou to escape wars.

    I just visited China 2 weeks ago, I went to Xi'an, Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, Hangzhou, Ouzhen. I did not regret going there and they made me want to come to China again, but yes they are touristy eventhough there are not many foreigner but they are crowded with domestic tourists. You put an item on my bucket list next time I visit China. Thank you. A friend from Vietnam.

    I visited Quanzhou with a small British tour group in 2007. We spent most of our time in a Buddhist temple where we were served multiple dishes of various kinds & flavors of tofu. Your walk through the peace & quiet of the temple grounds brought back the feeling of being there. Thank you for showing so much more of this beautiful & ancient place! Btwn, Feng Shui would dictate the need for protection in the tight alley ways, hence, lions, etc. carved into the stone.

    Historically for most of history Quanzhou was just as important and prosperous a maritime trade city as Guangzhou was. While both cities had ancient similarities in status they're each uniquely rich culturally. Though because of the stark economic differences between the development of Guangzhou and Quanzhou the latter often goes underappreciate.

    Hello, I am writing to express my gratitude for your wholesome and beautiful videos. For the past three years, entry restrictions combined with constant sound around and real deteriorating relations between China and my continent of origin and love Europe have led my love for China to fade slowly and steadily. China was envisioned by me as an ever more digitalized, commercialized, urbanized modern dystopia that has no place for an architecture, nature, slow paste, and people-loving human being like myself. The thought of having to live in Shanghai, Beijing, or worst Shenzen let me break out in cold sweat. Your videos have shone a light on earnest human beings going about their lives with a deep sense of living, community, and aesthetics. Places not bustling, not digitalized, not over-urbanized, preserved nature, and walkable and bikeable cities and townships also exist in China. This should be pretty obvious to anybody with a commonsensical mindset but to be honest, I was just too stuck. So thank you earnestly for helping me rediscover my love for China, energizing my language and general studies, and "repassionizing" my bread-earning activities.

    Quanzhou is my birth place and I got to spend six years of my childhood and many summer vacations there with my grandparents. It was a lot of good memories. I spotted YAN wearing this t-shirt with “泉州” in the front in many episodes and I figured she must have had one made in Quanzhou and the thought brought me here with no difficulty. Thanks for your work ! I like your travologues a lot!
