Fuzhou· A Blessed Land|||

|||. Fuzhou is located at the lower reaches of the Min River and is an important coastal city in China that is open to the outside world. It is known as the 'City of Romance'. The narrow and mottled ancient alleys, the tranquil century-old temples, and the scattered historic residences of famous people all reveal the profound culture of old Fuzhou and the serene and quiet lifestyle of its residents. Classic Three-Day Tour: Day1: Sanfang Qixiang — Christian Huaxiang Church — Nanhou Street — Shangxiahang Zhongping Road — Laoyaozhou Street Day2: Shicuo Church — South China Women's University of Arts and Science — West Lake Park — Daming Road — Fudao Day3: Pingtan Island Day Trip or leisurely stroll and coffee in the old foreign buildings of Cangshan District Attractions: 📍Sanfang Qixiang The neighborhood is crisscrossed with lanes and alleys paved with stone slabs. The window carvings of the residences are made with hollowed-out fine carvings and are joined together, with rich decorative patterns that can be seen everywhere, reflecting the residential craftsmanship and characteristics of ancient Fuzhou, known as the 'Museum of Ancient Architecture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties'. 📍Shangxiahang The neighborhood of Shanghang Road and Xiahang Road in Fuzhou's Taijiang District, also known as 'Shuanghang'. It is a traditional neighborhood with a strong Fuzhou culture of Chinese and Western architectural integration and typical Min merchant cultural characteristics. 📍Fuzhou National Forest Park The forest park contains national first-class protected rare plants, such as the 'living fossil' Metasequoia and the 'Chinese dove tree' Davidia involucrata, and is known as Fuzhou's largest natural oxygen bar. 📍Gushan Fuzhou's Buddhist holy land, the Yongquan Temple halfway up the mountain is the most important attraction of Gushan. The temple's thousand-year-old iron tree, chicken-feather wood offering table, and blood scripture are collectively known as the 'Three Treasures' that guard the mountain. At the peak, there is a huge rock that is flat like a drum, and it is said that when the wind and rain come, it makes a rumbling sound, hence the name Gushan (Drum Mountain). 📍Yantai Mountain Park: Fuzhou's version of the 'World Architecture Museum', where citizens practice Tai Chi in the morning and stroll through the night scene in the evening. The mountain scenery blends with the city, and the cultural neighborhood is composed of various foreign buildings and historical sites. With the characteristics of being 'quiet yet lively', this place is suitable for walking and also for sharing good times with friends.
