Half of the city is filled with fireworks, and the other half is like a fairyland - West Street

Someone said: West Street is a piece of history that one can live in. As a millennium-old street; with its ancient alleys full of charm, rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and documented in ancient books, it is also the proudest place in the famous city of Quanzhou. ✔️ West Street, the earliest pedestrian street in Quanzhou. In West Street, all legends, all relics, are vividly alive. ✔️ For over a thousand years, this ancient street has been like a dazzling string of pearls, threading together numerous splendid cultural relics and historical sites from the Tang and Song dynasties, as well as ancient streets and houses, along with the notable anecdotes and folk tales associated with them. ✔️ Today's West Street, with the thousand-year-old Kaiyuan Temple at the westernmost end and the Bell Tower at the easternmost, is filled with a strong sense of life throughout. The alleys extending on both sides form the full texture of the old city, with streets within alleys and alleys within alleys. ✔️ Walking to the eastern end of West Street, you will see the Bell Tower, a building that has witnessed nearly a hundred years of Quanzhou's history. ✔️ You must go up to the rooftop of West Street, where the West Street Tourist Service Center offers a free rooftop with an excellent view, while other popular rooftops require consumption. ✔️ In Quanzhou, West Street is not only the most intact ancient street area in the city center but also a symbol of the city's prosperity for nearly a thousand years. And on West Street, you can find the rich cultural atmosphere of Quanzhou city.
