The smiling hope of the ancient city of Quanzhou: the shopkeeper of the coffee inn in the garden (photo)

The smile Wall, one of the smile planners of the ancient city, will be on display at Suqimen Square on West Street on April 28 and will last for a week. Readers who submit photos to this newspaper, remember to find yourself. Passing friends, can also take a picture with the smiling face wall, leaving a beautiful memory of the ancient city.

Hu Wang wants to travel with his daughter.

Minnan net, April 1-when she started backpacking at the age of 17, Hu Wang, a girl from Hunan, quietly set a point in her life: at the age of 25, she had a stable life.

To her surprise, before the age of 25, she accidentally bumped into the ancient city of Quanzhou and caught a glimpse of an admired boy whose feet stopped.

Time flies by chatting with Hu Pan. She has a warm smile, talking about the moment of falling in love with the ancient city, the story of marrying love, the lovely inn passers-by, and the special food specially made for her baby daughter every day.

The aura that does not eat human smoke and fire, and the kindness of the beautiful girl next door, blend so beautifully in her body.

She used to be a visitor attracted by the ancient city, but now she is the main guest, choosing an old house on West Street to warm the newcomers.

When he pushed open the glass door in the garden, Hu Pan was chatting with an old Dutch lady in fluent English.

The old lady used four "very" to describe her love for the ancient city and suddenly poked into Hu Wang's heart.

In Lhasa in mid-November 2014, her best friend accidentally mentioned the city of Quanzhou. Hu Panxin tickled and flew to Quanzhou alone with his suitcase. "it is late autumn elsewhere, but here it is still full of short sleeves." The four seasons are like spring, which is the first resonance between the ancient city and Hu Pan's ideal.

She checked into the Chimen Inn. On the first day, I met a cool boy who was a local and was designing another inn. He left her Wechat on the excuse that he wanted to ask her for something.

Hu Wang walked alone along West Street and Zhongshan Road, and from Nanjun Road to Tumen Street, his heart gradually filled with a feeling: cherish love. She said that compared with many enclosed ancient cities, the ancient city of Quanzhou is like a free-range, natural and simple, and people's living conditions are closely integrated with the cultural environment. She likes to watch the bustling West Street of Qinfo Day, where people walk confidently toward their beliefs. For outsiders, it is a sight, but for Quanzhou people, it is an ordinary scene in life. With such piety and tradition, she recalls footprints almost all over the country, and it is difficult to find any other city except Lhasa.

For some people, Hu Pan's travel style may be odd. She lives in Lhasa, which is only 500 meters from the Potala Palace, but she has never set foot in the palace; when she went to Beijing, she did not even visit the Imperial Palace. But she will ride 60 kilometers with the Tibetan aunt in the inn to have a picnic by the river in the county. She is willing to work overtime for a month and save up the holidays for a month-long trip. In her definition, travel is not the accumulation of scenic spots during holidays. Travel should be life, going to a strange place, meeting strangers, and being compatible with different cultures.

In 2015, she and the boy fell in love, and the two rented an old house on West Street. The boy used his own design. She skillfully picked up the operation and public relations experience she had done in a foreign trade company, and the couple decided to open a warm small shop.

During the decoration period, Hu Pan ushered in the little life in his belly. Every day, she stared carefully at the scene wearing a mask. Last year, the Garden Coffee Inn opened warmly.

The shop has three floors, and the first floor has a bar and exquisite small gifts of Lin Lang. Hu Pante transferred the "head teacher" to hand it over. Mixed with the aroma of yellow peach, rose and pineapple, this is the taste of the former store manager commemorating a relationship with the head teacher's ex-girlfriend. There is no price on the blackboard behind the bar, there is a strange name, "head teacher" is one of them. The hostel rooms are modern minimalist, each with a characteristic triangular sofa brought back from Thailand. The rooftop on the third floor has wooden chairs and tables for barbecue, and the backrest is integrated with the red brick eaves. Outside the rooftop is a red brick house, with east and west towers standing far away. There is no doubt that this is a place where many tourists linger. Once a friend in Beijing booked an extra room for a week and spent a lot of time comfortably in the red bricks, blue sky and sunshine on the roof.

During the May Day holiday, the inn ushered in a few busy days. Hu Pan said that the number of tourists this year is 60 to 70 percent more than that of last year, sometimes full, and 20 to 30 people a day come to inquire about accommodation. She shared the day shift and night shift with her partners, and her husband shouldered the heavy burden of mending the store.

In the second half of the year, Hu Pan and her husband plan a cross-border trip. They are consulting a team of 15 people to enter Southeast Asia by motorcycle from Quanzhou, along Hesi Road, via Guangdong and Guangxi. During this one-month adventure trip, I was hoping to take my daughter and my husband to make up the untaken wedding photos on the way. "I want her to know that her mother has been on the road, studying, traveling and living."
