Cai Alley is a historical and cultural alley in Quanzhou.

📍Location: Cai Alley (also known as Guangling Road), Licheng District, Quanzhou, Fujian Province 🚶‍♀️Cai Alley is a must-visit! It is not only full of historical secrets, but also exudes cultural fragrance, making it an excellent choice for an in-depth tour of Quanzhou! 🏛️Cai Alley was once the residence of Cai Que, a prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. The name "Cai" is a homophone of "Cai" (菜), and the name was changed to "Cai Alley." Although the name has changed, the sense of history has never changed. The alley is also home to the ruins of the residences of famous people such as Li Bing's Taishi Mansion and Qian Xi's Zhongcheng Mansion, each telling an ancient story. 🏮When it comes to Cai Alley, how can you not mention Guangling Palace? This thousand-year-old palace is not only the temple of Guanglingjing, a brocade shop in the east of Quanzhou Ancient City, but also carries the Quanzhou people's prayers for a better life. The legendary story of the Ten Thousand Immortals Concubine makes this place a popular place for tourists to pray for blessings. 🚩Cai Alley is also an important place for revolutionary activities. The former site of the CPC Quanzhou Central County Committee is hidden here, providing an important base for revolutionary activities such as the War of Resistance Against Japan. When you walk in here, you can not only feel the weight of history, but also the heroic spirit of the revolutionary martyrs. 🎨Modern and traditional are perfectly integrated in Cai Alley. The alley is not only home to ancient houses and temples, but also to artists' studios. Artists such as painter Chen Yanghui draw inspiration from here and create countless amazing works. Their works add an artistic touch to Cai Alley. 📷Whether it's the ancient houses, temples, or the works of artists, they can all become beautiful scenery in your lens. There are not only historical stories, but also cultural fragrance, waiting to be explored and discovered! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️📸✨
