As the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, how can Quanzhou better experience Hayes culture?

Quanzhou is the only starting point of the Maritime Silk Road recognized by UNESCO. Through Quanzhou Port, China's silk, porcelain, tea and other items are continuously transported to all parts of the world, so you can't help but experience Hayes culture when you come to Quanzhou.

The first stop should be to climb Jiuri Mountain, where Zheng He prayed for the wind when he went to the Western Ocean. Up to now, there are still many stone carvings praying for the wind on the mountain. While climbing mountains and enjoying stone carvings, you can put yourself in the atmosphere of praying for the wind at sea. Every year, the square at the foot of the mountain will hold a "performance of praying for the wind and ancient customs" to reproduce the unique scene of "businessmen from all over the world rising in the sea"

At the second stop, you can visit Kaiyuan Temple. In the ancient ship exhibition hall of Quanzhou Bay in Kaiyuan Temple, a Song Dynasty merchant ship unearthed in Quanzhou Bay was collected. It was a three-masted ocean-going merchant ship made with the most advanced technology in the world at that time.

The third stop is maritime museum, Quanzhou. This is the first marine museum in China. There are ancient ships, ancient porcelain exported overseas, important navigation guides when ships go to sea and other collections in the exhibition hall. Through these exhibits, we can fully understand Quanzhou's brilliant achievements in shipbuilding, navigation and foreign trade.

The fourth stop is the Maritime Silk Road Art Park. This is the world's first large-scale art park with the theme of "Hayes". If you come for a walk in the park, you can fully understand the history, civilization, art and folk customs of Asian countries along Hayes.

In addition, you can also take part in activities through the ancient city of Hayes. Starting from 20 16, the whole state will hold the activity of crossing the ancient city of Hayes every year, and this year is the third time. A total of 5,000 people participated in this year's crossing activity, not only invited many excellent outdoor trekkers as guests, but also measured the Millennium Silk Road in Quanzhou with their footsteps and enjoyed the Hayes culture.
