The Most Photogenic Hidden Gems in Quanzhou

Quanzhou is a city I’ve visited many times yet never grown tired of—its charm only deepens with each trip. Here are some of the best spots for stunning photos and easy check-ins:

• Litai Terrace Café
The perfect rooftop for capturing West Street’s sunset and panoramic views.

• Berry Crazy Rooftop
Also near West Street and close to the Clock Tower—another great vantage point for sweeping cityscapes.

• “Quanzhou” Sign
Tucked in a small alley near a 7-11, ideal for a casual snapshot.

• White Clock Tower
A true city landmark—effortless candid shots always turn out beautifully here.

• Xiao Xicheng
No need to go inside; the entrance alone captures authentic local life.

• Xiangfeng Alley
A charming, everyday lane paired with a pagoda—instantly photogenic.

• The Spiral Staircase on Qiaoxiang Shopping Street
Full of nostalgic retro vibes.

• Wulin Village
Traditional Nanyang-style architecture perfect for photos; you can even try a Peranakan experience.

A seaside temple once visited by Li Xian—spectacular for both ocean views and photos.
