The nearby Dongxing Market is a foodie's paradise, with delicious dishes like Yanjing Jian Guo and A Lian Jian Bao. One bite and you'll be in heaven! 😋🥟 🏛️ Putian Museum Open 9:00 am–4:30 pm (closed on Mondays). The Folk Customs Hall is a must-see, offering a fascinating glimpse into Putian's history and culture. 🏺📚 🌳 Shouxi Park Located next to the museum, this park is a peaceful oasis with fresh air and few visitors. You can even go boating and enjoy some leisure time. 🚣‍♂️🍃 🕊️ Dongshan Bao'en Temple & Mazu Palace These lesser-known attractions are quiet and free to enter, offering a moment of peace and tranquility. 🧘‍♀️🙏 🌆 Yuanmiao Temple Sanqing Hall Open 8:00 am–12:00 pm and 3:00 pm–6:00 pm.

Visit the second floor and explore the nearby pedestrian street for shopping and sightseeing! 🛍️🏰 🏙️ Xinghua Mansion Cultural Street Similar to Fuzhou's Sanfang Qixiang, this ancient street is filled with delicious snacks and stunning night views. There are even performances during the first lunar month! 🎆🍢 🍽️ Food Recommendations: 1️⃣ Firewood Rice - Gongchen Subdistrict, Licheng District, Putian, Fujian Salty rice is only available at noon, and the delicious soup is only available in the evening, so we recommend visiting at noon. The flavors are amazing! 🍚🔥 2️⃣ Longqiao Wonton - No. 70, Jianshe Road, Fenghuangshan Subdistrict, Chengxiang District, Putian, Fujian We didn't try the signature pig liver, but the other offal dishes were authentic and worth a try! 🐷🍲 3️⃣ Achang Soy Milk Stir Fry - No. 78–92, Jianshe Road, Chengxiang District, Putian, Fujian Located next to Longqiao Wonton, this place is always packed! The soy milk is normal, the Jian Guo is a bit oily, but the Yanpi Wonton Soup is delicious, with a flavor similar to lean meat soup. 🌱🍳 This trip to Putian was truly rewarding!

1. Hong Kong Disneyland Another destination that you must not miss when you visit Hong Kong is here. I recommend going early in the morning so that you have plenty of time to take beautiful photos. LOL This is also my first time there. I waited to buy tickets to enter the park and play some thrilling rides. LOL So much fun! After walking around for a while, I got tired and hungry, so I headed straight to the food court. 2. Graham Street Go to Graham Street, which is a cute street art. 3. Hong Kong Cultural Centre Take the train and get off at Tsim Sha Tsui Station, then walk there. It takes less than 10 minutes to get there. I must say that it is very beautiful. Every angle is great for taking photos. Especially those who love portraits, they will love it even more. If you are around here until the evening, there will be a fireworks show in this area. Let me tell you in advance. Many people come to watch. You can reserve a seat since the evening. 4. Chiu Fat Restaurant If you want to try Hong Kong-style congee, you have to stop by this restaurant. It is located at Tsim Sha Tsui Station. The restaurant has a sign in Thai and the menu is also in Thai. The taste is very good. It is very smooth. If you come at noon, you might have to wait for a table. Opens from 08:00 – 23:00 5. Coffee Obsession A cute cafe. The coffee is delicious. The owner is also cute. When he saw us taking pictures, he helped move the stuff that was blocking the front of the shop. I love it. The shop is located on the North Point side. Opens from 07:30 – 18:00 6. Ah-Yee Rice Noodle Roll This is another breakfast shop on the North Point side. There was a long queue. I went very early and still had to wait. There are about 3-4 tables on the side of the shop. It feels like a morning dumpling shop. But there are a lot of menus to choose from. Opens from 07:00 – 19:00 7. .Choi Hung Estate A rainbow basketball court where everyone has to come to take pictures. Oh, I have to say that it is quite far. It is far from Tsim Sha Tsui. Get off at Choi Hung Station Exit C3, then walk for about 15 minutes. When I arrived at the building, I still couldn't find the basketball court. LOL What the heck? I recommend asking for directions from people around there. When I arrived, there were a lot of people. I had to wait in line to take pictures. I went in the afternoon, so there weren't many people. But the sun was really strong. 8. Lan Fong Yuen This is a really delicious lemon tea shop. I give it to this one. I've been there twice and I never get bored. I finished standing and wanted to order more. LOL This shop is at Central Station. There was a long queue, but it wasn't too long. I really want you to come and try it. It's so refreshing. Opens from 07:30 - 18:00. 9. Bakehouse This branch doesn't have many people. The queue isn't long. If you want to try the super popular Hong Kong egg tart, I recommend this branch. You will definitely get to eat it quickly. Get off at Central Station. Open from 08:00 – 21:00 10. Barista Coffee Company This cafe is also at Central Station. It is right across from Bakehouse. The coffee tastes good. There are not many people. There are tables to rest your legs during the day. Hehe Open from 08:00 – 18:00 11. Yick Flat Building This is a building where Hong Kong residents live. But it is also the location for filming the movie Transformers. So it is a popular check-in point that everyone who visits Hong Kong must come to take pictures. There is also a long line waiting to take pictures. 555 We will get off at Quarray Bay Station Exit A. Then walk for about 5-10 minutes. #hongkong #journeycallsofficial #hongkong #getdiscountwithoutluck

#春夏好去处2024 Mazu is an important folk belief in the southeast coast of China. For more than a thousand years, she has been in charge of the inner peace of believers of all sizes. I was really moved when I arrived at the Meizhou Ancestral Temple. I came to pay respect with a pious heart❤️ The Meizhou Ancestral Temple is the headquarters of the global Mazu incarnations. The Tianhou Temples scattered around the world, including Taiwan, finally returned to one. The ancestral temple was built from the flat ground up along the hillside. After many renovations, it has become a scenic spot. There is also a very large statue of Mazu on the top of the mountain, which is very solemn and far away from the one in Taiwan🙏 Standing on the commanding heights, you can overlook the entire sea level. I was really moved. Meizhou is indeed a good place with outstanding people. It only takes two days and one night to travel around the entire island. I highly recommend everyone to travel here, and it is guaranteed to be worthwhile! #Meizhou Island #Mazu Temple #Tianhou Palace

#springsummer2024 Ewei Sea Erosion Geological Park is an unexpected surprise for traveling to Meizhou Island. I didn’t expect that the seemingly warm beach 🏖️ also has such a magnificent view. It is a treasure attraction that you absolutely cannot miss 💎 The whole park is not big, you can walk around it in more than an hour, and if you are lucky, you can also see the beautiful sunset 🌅. The orange sunset is still unforgettable. I strongly recommend it❤️ #Good place for sunset #Beautiful sunset #Natural scenery #Geological Park #Meizhou Island

Putian City is located in the central coastal area of ​​Fujian Province and was once the commercial center of central and southern Fujian. Meizhou Island at the mouth of the bay is the location of the world-famous Mazu Temple, the goddess of peace, and the birthplace of Mazu culture.

🌟 Meizhou Island: The Legend of Mazu on the Celestial Island 🌊 An island sculpted by ocean waves Standing at the Ewei Divine Stone Park on Meizhou Island, the sea breeze carries a salty tang. Shaped like eyebrows, this island has been called "Meizhou" since ancient times. Song Dynasty poet Liu Kezhuang described it as a "divine grotto on the sea." Every reef here seems to whisper tales of maritime history spanning millennia. 🏯 Birthplace of Mazu Culture 1️⃣ Mazu Ancestral Temple Builders: Song Dynasty fishermen Story: This is the birthplace of Lin Moniang (Mazu). In 960 AD, she was born in this fishing village, reportedly filling the room with divine fragrance at birth. The temple complex, built into the mountainside with five golden courtyards, has maintained continuous worship for a thousand years. On Mazu's birthday (23rd day of the 3rd lunar month), tens of thousands of pilgrims arrive. Tip: Visit at dawn to witness local fishermen's devout incense offerings and experience authentic Mazu worship. 2️⃣ Ewei Divine Stone Park Geological wonder: Sea-eroded formations Story: Millions of years of wave erosion created over 60 figurative stone formations like "Turtle Pilgrim" and "Sea Gate." Most miraculous is the "Mazu Library" - natural stone patterns resembling ancient texts, where legend says Mazu studied celestial books. Personal experience: At sunset, golden light filters through stone crevices, casting a mystical glow on these "stone books." 3️⃣ Meiyu Tide Sound Natural phenomenon: Oceanic symphony Story: Countless natural cavities in the reef produce melodic sounds with tidal movements, called "Meiyu Tide Music" by ancients. Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake marveled at this "heavenly concert." Tip: Best experienced at high tide - check tide schedules. 4️⃣ Golden Beach Feature: Island shoreline Legend: The fine golden sand was where young Mazu pondered rescuing fishermen. Today it's both tourist destination and fishermen's blessing site before voyages. 🌅 At dusk, overlooking the island from the temple mountain, red-roofed white buildings contrast beautifully with blue seas. Distant boat horns create magical resonance with thousand-year-old Mazu legends. This island boasts not only stunning landscapes but also embodies Chinese maritime heritage.

1. Mazu Ancestral Temple – The "Luxury Villa" of the Gods This is the pilgrimage site for 300 million Mazu devotees worldwide, where the incense burns so fervently that even deities might have to queue. Arrive early for the first incense offering, or you might not even get a kneeling mat. The temple's golden splendor rivals five-star hotels—truly a mansion fit for the "Goddess of the Sea." Tips: - While praying devoutly, keep an eye on your wallet. Mazu blesses fortunes but doesn’t guarantee theft prevention. - No flash photography—Mazu prefers subtlety over being blinded by your camera. 2. Golden Beach – Sand Finer Than Your Paycheck The sand here is so fine it could double as a facial scrub, and walking barefoot feels like a free foot massage. The crystal-clear water and gentle waves make it seem like Mazu herself is washing your feet. Perfect for daydreaming, sandcastle-building, or pretending you’re in the Maldives (Instagram gold). Tips: - Apply sunscreen three times, or you’ll go from "tourist" to "roasted sweet potato." - Don’t casually pick up shells—some might be freshly discarded wish tokens, and you wouldn’t want Mazu’s "special attention." 3. Ewei Shenshi Park – Nature’s "Abstract Art Exhibit" The rocks here are bizarrely shaped—some like turtles, others like whales, and some... well, use your imagination. The sound of waves crashing against them is more invigorating than your morning alarm. Tips: - Wear anti-slip shoes, or you might end up performing an involuntary "divine rock kneel." - No carving "I was here"—Mazu is watching, and you don’t want heavenly retribution. 4. Meiyu Tide Sound – The Ocean’s "KTV Session" The waves here "sing," with winds whistling through the reefs to create a natural symphony. Some say it’s Mazu humming; others blame strong winds... Tips: - Hold onto your hat in strong winds, unless you want it to "ascend to immortality." - Avoid shouting "Mazu bless me!" at the waves—nearby tourists might think you’re summoning Shenlong. 5. Meizhou Island Fishing Village – Seafood Fresher Than Your Ex Fishermen haul in their catch at dawn, and by noon, it’s on your plate—so fresh the crabs are still pondering their existence. Must-tries: Meizhou fish balls, oyster omelets, and abalone porridge. After one bite, you’ll want to swear brotherhood with the locals. Tips: - Haggle gently. Fishermen are kind, but Mazu might be judging. - Don’t ask, "Is this fish freshly caught?" unless you’re ready for the vendor to point at the sea and say, "Go catch it yourself." 6. Meizhou Island Ring Road – E-Biking > Driving a Ferrari Renting an e-bike is the coolest way to explore. With the sea breeze in your hair, you’ll feel like a K-drama lead (even if you tan like Judge Bao). The views are so stunning you’ll want to belt out *Heading North*—just watch the road so you don’t ride into the ocean. Tips: - Check the battery before renting, or you’ll get an unplanned workout pushing it back. - Sunglasses aren’t just for style—they’ll save you from sun-induced blindness. Ultimate Guide Recap Best time to visit: Avoid typhoon season, unless you’re keen on "Mazu testing your devotion." Essentials: Sunscreen, hat, flip-flops, a pious heart (and a bottomless stomach). Golden rule: Respect local beliefs, don’t litter—Mazu dislikes rude tourists. Meizhou Island: Where you can worship, feast on seafood, sunbathe, and zone out—a place you’ll hate to leave (mainly because you haven’t eaten enough seafood yet).
