If you don’t go to Meizhou Island, what else can you do in Putian?

How about eating a bowl of braised pork while watching a show?

Nothing is difficult in the world, what is difficult is persistence for thousands of years

After watching the Puxian opera, it is the habit of many Putian people to have a bowl of black 8-boiled pork

What are your impressions of Putian? Big shoe manufacturer? Wholesale wood? Or the many Putian hospitals distributed across the country? For Putian businessmen, they must either not do business or they must create an industry monopoly! As a fellow from the same province, I have to admire their unity and business ability, so I have always been curious about what kind of soil and water can cultivate so many powerful business experts, so I found an opportunity to go to Putian before the Lantern Festival. After taking a closer look, I was surprised to find that this place is very suitable for travel and vacation!

First of all, there are hot springs here, and there are many resorts & hotels; secondly, Putian has a profound historical and cultural heritage, and it is the hometown of gods. It has a famous Mazu empress at home and abroad, and Yang. The imperial concubine’s love rival, Concubine Jiang Mei... Therefore, every festival, the ceremony of worshiping gods is always particularly grand, with constant exciting attractions. For them, it is following tradition, and for us, it is a unique celebration experience; again, there are many Very delicious food! The portion is really not expensive!

One thing is surprising. The male-to-female ratio in Putian City is slightly imbalanced. I was still skeptical about the male-to-female ratio of 3:1 in Fujian. After looking at the number of men’s clothing stores in the mall and the gender distribution of passers-by, I really 's letter. I took a bath in the hot spring in the hotel. The women's bath was empty around 8 o'clock, while the men's bath was open until midnight... By the way, there are actually a lot of handsome guys in Putian, if not for the fear that they are too traditional. , it’s not a bad idea to find a handsome guy from Putian as a partner!

You don’t have to go to Meizhou Island to visit Putian, because most scenic spots are far away from the city. This time I chose a few scenic spots with convenient transportation in the city and gained a lot.

Ancient Qiao Tower

Qiao Tower could be used as a lookout in ancient times. The ancient Qiao Tower located in the center of Putian is the only remaining drum tower in Fujian Province. Putian people often regard it as a symbol of "Xinghua Prefecture". Nowadays, local people are making full use of it. Instead of just turning it into a scenic spot, it has been transformed into a literary and artistic "Puyang Study Room" where everyone can sit down to drink tea, read, listen to operas, and lean on the railings to overlook the landscape of the old city.

There are several temples next to the ancient Qiao Tower, including the exquisitely decorated Wenfeng Palace and Mazu Temple. The temples in Fujian are very gorgeous. From Quanzhou to Putian, I feel that the deep-rooted religious beliefs are closely integrated with the local culture. Inseparable...

Nanshan Guanghua Temple

"Speaking of the profound and pure Dharma brings endless joy in this life." Nanshan Guanghua Temple, a thousand-year-old temple built in the Southern Dynasties, is also the home of Fujian Buddhist College You can often see monks practicing and studying here. Even the first words the volunteers who check your health code say to you are "Amitabha".

The temple is very large. What I personally think is more distinctive is Putian’s unique local exquisite wood carvings. The window grilles, door frames, eaves, beams... are not only exquisite in workmanship, but also very particular in color matching. The opening and closing of the doors and windows is quite special. Practitioners can enter the hall through the door openings. The wooden windows are opened in a rotating way, which not only has the charm of ancient style, but also makes people feel a different kind of exotic style.

In Fujian, Buddhism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The famous Hongyi master Li Shutong passed away in Quanzhou. He was the author of "Farewell". He once wrote at "Jinxian Temple", which is now Guanghua Temple. "Cool song". Today, his poems are still engraved on the pillars in the temple to commemorate this fate.

Mulan Pi

Experience the ancient water conservancy project at Mulan Pi in Putian. Mulan Pi was built in the first year of Zhiping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1064). It is a famous ancient large-scale water conservancy project and one of the five largest in the country. One of the ancient pits, it is still intact and plays its role in water conservancy. It is said that the idea of ????Jianpi came from a "passer-by" Qian Siniang, and there is also a statue of her in the park (there are so many female celebrities in Putian).

Mulanpi Cultural Park is very unique. In addition to the old dam, which is a bit thrilling to walk, statues of gods are enshrined in the memorial hall and exhibition hall. The New Year is approaching, the sound of firecrackers, and the beautiful mountains and rivers in Putian. , there are wizards everywhere...

Putian Art Museum

Putian Art Museum is quite willful and will not open the indoor area until new exhibitions are launched. Maybe they think the outdoor design is enough. It functions as an "art museum". I chose this attraction mainly because it is "free" and the pictures on the Internet are also very design-friendly. However, it is recommended to check whether there are any exhibitions before coming here to avoid missing out.

There are both Chinese and Western-style outdoor stone carvings. The mushroom-shaped pavilion has a feeling of Singapore's luminous forest. The mountains and rivers of Putian are beautiful, with mist-shrouded clouds and lush trees. The design of the main exhibition hall is a log theme, which is well integrated into the surrounding ecological environment. Even if you don't watch the exhibition, it is a very pleasant experience to take your family and take a walk.

Wanjiao Snacks

Walk into the old town of Putian and have an internet celebrity meal with a literary and artistic atmosphere. The nostalgic furniture, layout and songs are actually not uncommon, but the details are The key point is that there is a flag on the door of the ancient house that can only be found around the border, and the shape of the handle of the drawer is very similar to the bronze in the temple!

The location of the snack bar is a bit out of the way. You have to look carefully to find the entrance. The local lady who received me was very enthusiastic and kept introducing me where to take photos and guiding me to get the seasonings myself. In fact, after listening to it for a long time, I still remember the Putian dialect. Very kind and kind, if you can basically speak Hokkien, you can understand 2-30% of them

Their Tou Shui Seaweed Dumplings are really delicious! The ingredients are plentiful, not watery at all, the price is reasonable, and the whole circle of braised sausage is very special! The five-spice flavor is also good, slightly different from that of southern Fujian.
