ellyse Says: Quanzhou's airport is at Jinjiang and with a rather limited flight schedule, especially when compared to Xiamen. Therefore, it's most possible that travellers will be flying to Xiamen airport and then changing to land transport to get to Quanzhou.Xiamen airport is north of...
ellyse Says: Bus to Chongwu cost 10 RMB; there's no timing specified on the ticket, but rather a latest time that you must use the ticket by -- mine was 1830 so I assume that's the last departure time. If you have to go via a change of buses at Hui'an, it'll cost you a few more RMB.
claude-andre Says: The shop sells extraordinary finger puppets, ancient and recent. At certain times it offers shows.The figures are extraordinary. Hand made, they make good souvenirs or gifts, but they are quite expensive.
ellyse Says: For some local life, walk around in the area surrounding GP Hotel (in the evenings) or Kaiyuan Temple (in the daytime). I remember finding local wet markets and such around Kaiyuan Temple.There're actually a large number of active places of worship (mainly temples) dotted...
