Fuzhou Yantai Mountain | With mountains, rivers, historical buildings, literary bookstores, cafes, and restaurants, you must come!

Traveling in Fuzhou, I strongly recommend everyone to go to Yantai Mountain! You will never regret it, you can arrange a day's time, at least an afternoon! Yantai Mountain Historical District is the end of the traditional axis sequence of Fuzhou ancient city, and it was an important window for Fujian Province's foreign economic and cultural exchanges. After the Opium War, in the 24th year of Daoguang (1844), Fuzhou was officially opened as one of the five trading ports. Since the 25th year of Daoguang (1845), Britain took the lead in setting up a consulate in Fuzhou, and then 17 countries set up consulates in Fuzhou one after another. In the following hundred years, foreign residents successively opened foreign firms, hospitals and schools in Fuzhou. The entire district and its surroundings have 163 modern excellent historical buildings, in addition to many foreign consulates, churches, foreign firms, villas and other Western old buildings, there are also dozens of Chinese-style garden ancient houses. Therefore, Yantai Mountain is known as the World Architecture Expo Garden and the Little Gulangyu. Many celebrities have left their footprints and poems here, such as Ye Shengtao's 'A garden, a road, a cluster of flowers, all have poetry...', Yu Dafu's 'Spring breeze ten miles south of the platform, listen to the pearl girl playing the orchestra...' Yantai Mountain faces the Minjiang River, facing Zhongzhou Island and the city. The mountain is not high, the winding mountain road, the huge banyan tree, hidden in it are old buildings, many of which are national cultural relics. After visiting the historical buildings on the mountain, walk down the stone steps to the riverside walking area at the foot of the mountain. There are many trendy brands and coffee and dining, which is a vibrant and extremely petty place. Many modern cultural and creative industries are integrated with the old houses to form a beautiful scenery. Now this is the place where young people in Fuzhou love to hang out! It's super romantic, looking at the mountains and water, shopping, eating, taking pictures, life is so beautiful! Note‼️: Go to the visitor center to buy a map of the old foreign houses, which marks the location of all the old buildings, and there are three classic routes, which are very good!
