When night comes, Quanzhou city is always decorated beautifully
with colorful neon lights along all the streets. After a busy
day, people often go out to relax in the squares, parks, clubs,
night markets as well as gymnasiums and beauty parlors. In the
Fengze Square, the food market, shopping market and book market
are always full of people while in the Delicious Food Streets,
the various local snacks give out wafts of enticing aromas and
draw many people there to satisfy their appetites.
Parks are also many people's choice to spend their night. Especially
in the West Lake Park that is located at the southern foot of
Mt.Qingyuan, people often walk or drive there to fly kites, wander
around or boat on the lake. Other parks like Daping, Binjiang
are famous for their open-air sidewalk food stalls while the Tea
Bar on the Heavenly Lake of Mt. Qingyuan is most tranquil and
tasteful for you to enjoy genuine Fujian tea.
In Licheng District, there are cultural corners for people with
different interests. The seniors gather in the local opera corner
like the Culture Palace to enjoy the dulcet Nanyin, a long history
opera sung in Fujian dialect with the accompaniment of traditional
Chinese stringed and wood-wind instruments. The story-lovers assemble
in the story corner to listen to legends from throughout history.
Those who like films go to the cinemas to appreciate the most
recent films or the traditional performance of puppet shows. For
others, they always go to the cafés or the tea bars, chattering
and laughing.
For the young people, various bars and clubs are the best places
to let their hairs down. The song-and-dance halls, the KTV (Karaoke
Television Bars) and all other nightclubs are here and there in
the city, especially down East Street and Tumen Street. Some people
also choose the gyms or the beauty parlors for exercising and
relaxing.
