"Fuzhou – Half of Modern History, Filled with Jasmine Fragrance"

🔥Fuzhou Travel Guide|3 Days 2 Nights in the "Blessed City"! Start your morning with fish ball soup in Sanfang Qixiang, climb Wushan to capture the millennium-old banyan tree sea of clouds, sip hand-brewed jasmine tea in Guling, stay in a white-walled, black-tiled guesthouse for just 620 RMB per person—this is the gentle knockout of "Half of China's Modern History + a City of Jasmine Fragrance"! Who says Fujian is only Xiamen? At 6:00 AM in front of Lin Juemin’s former residence, holding a bowl of freshly made fish ball soup— springy fish balls floating in clear broth, sprinkled with seaweed and a spoonful of shrimp oil, amid the steaming aroma, an elderly lady waves a palm fan as she passes by: "Young one, drink slowly, the blessings of Fuzhou flow like a gentle stream."👵🍃 📌This is no script, this is my real morning in Fuzhou, Fujian.
