[2025 Fuzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Fuzhou National Forest Park (Updated Apr)

🔔 Fuzhou is known as the 'Banyan City'. In Fuzhou Forest Park, there is an ancient banyan tree that is nearly a thousand years old, which is an indispensable topic in the history of Fuzhou's banyan trees. 🔔 This ancient banyan is a small-leaved fig, a species of evergreen tree in the Moraceae family, also known as the red-skinned fig. It was planted during the Northern Song Dynasty by Zhang Boyu, the prefect of Fuzhou at that time. Hence, it is called the 'King of Banyan Trees' and is regarded as a symbol of Banyan City, Fuzhou. ⛩️ East Gate of Fuzhou Forest Park (Fuzhou Botanical Garden) 📍 Detailed address: Fuzhou National Forest Park, Chiqiao, Xindian Town, Jin'an District, Fujian Province, Fuzhou City 🎫 Tickets🎫 Free.

As someone who just returned from Fuzhou with my partner, our 3-day, 2-night romantic getaway was perfect! Combining our personal experiences with travel guides, I've put together this super practical itinerary and food guide to help you avoid the tourist traps! Day 1: A Citywalk Weaving Through Ancient Charm and Bustling Life Itinerary: Sanfang Qixiang (Three Lanes and Seven Alleys) → Lin Zexu Memorial Hall → Hua Xiang Church → Shangxiahang Night View - In the morning, head straight to Sanfang Qixiang (Three Lanes and Seven Alleys), known as "half of China's modern history." Stroll hand-in-hand through the bluestone alleys, check out the Sanfang Qixiang-Love Tree and the popular ancient-house cafes. I recommend the shark meatballs at Yonghe Fish Balls (Nanhou Street Branch) and the freshly wrapped meat swallow dumplings at Tongli Rouyan Old Shop (Sanfang Qixiang Branch) . One bite and you'll be filled with the old flavors of Fuzhou. - In the afternoon, take a 10-minute walk to Lin Zexu Memorial Hall to appreciate the patriotism of this national hero (free and not crowded, perfect for a quiet chat). Then, head to the pink Hua Xiang Church, a modern building with stained glass windows that's perfect for taking Instagram-worthy couple photos (note that it's only open for internal visits on weekends). - In the evening, take a taxi to Shangxiahang. When the lanterns light up along the riverbank, it's like a scene from a Jiangnan water town. I recommend enjoying the river view while eating sweet and sour pork at Wangzhuang Ami Seafood Restaurant (Shangxiahang Branch). The fried liver and fish dumplings are must-orders! Day 2: Romance Blending Nature and Ritual Itinerary: Fuzhou National Forest Park → Love Island → Yantai Mountain Stroll - In the morning, go to Fuzhou National Forest Park to breathe in the fresh air. Walk hand-in-hand through the ancient banyan tree forest, and you might even encounter free-range peacocks (remember to wear comfortable shoes). - In the afternoon, I highly recommend the new romantic destination for couples: Love Island on Jiangxin Island! With its heart-shaped marriage registry, Cupid tree, and lawn of true love, we booked a picnic setup in advance and exchanged handwritten letters by the Acacia Bridge, creating the perfect atmosphere. - In the evening, head to the artistic Yantai Mountain, where century-old foreign buildings meet trendy shops. I recommend pairing "Cui Jiang Fried Chicken" with beer and enjoying the healing view of the Min River at night from the rooftop. Day 3: Limited Island Romance Itinerary: Pingtan Island Tear-Chasing Trip - Take a 1.5-hour chartered car ride to Pingtan Island. Rent an electric bike and cycle around the island. The fine sand and blue sea of Tannan Bay are perfect for taking couple photos. In the evening, watch a sunset at the windmills on Changjiang Ao Beach. The highlight is the "blue tears," which are only visible from April to June! We were lucky enough to see the fluorescent waves on Longfengtou Beach, like crushed diamonds scattered in the dark sea. My partner exclaimed, "It's even more dazzling than diamonds!" Food Recommendations (Personally Tested) - Fotiaoqiang (Buddha Jumps Over the Wall): The signature dish of Juchunyuan, it's a bit pricey per person, but the soup is rich and mellow. - Guobianhu (Pot Edge Paste): The wood-fired pot edge paste + shrimp crisps are the soul of breakfast, and it's only CNY 5 to fill you up. - Peanut Soup: The peanut soup at Mei Ya Bo Peanut Soup Shop (Laoyaozhou Branch) is sweet but not greasy, and it's perfect with taro paste. - Seafood: The stir-fried double crisp at Wangzhuang Ami and the fish dumplings at Lao Chuanzhang are incredibly delicious. Tips: Fuzhou has a developed public transportation system with buses and subways, but the attractions are scattered, so I recommend taking taxis. For accommodation, choose Sanfang Qixiang or Dongjiekou, which are convenient for getting around the city center. I recommend the Meixiyueshe Hotel (Sanfang Qixiang Dongjiekou Subway Station Branch).

When going to Fuzhou Forest Park, you can choose to take a golf cart up the mountain and then slowly walk down. The highest point is Longtan Scenic Area. There are lush forests and fresh air. There are also cherry blossom forests, peach blossom forests, etc. in the middle... You can also see cute birds in the park, which makes people feel happy. #China #ChineseAttractions #Fuzhou #FuzhouForestPark #March2025

Winter in Fujian's forest parks is like a tranquil and profound ink painting. As you step into this land, the cold air carries the unique fragrance of trees, instantly cleansing your lungs. Walking along the winding paths, the trees on either side have shed their colorful autumn attire, yet they stand resolute in the cold winter. Their sturdy branches, like the brushstrokes of nature, stretch freely and boldly towards the sky, sketching sparse outlines under the vast sky. Sunlight pours down, filtering through the gaps in the branches and leaves, weaving golden shadows on the ground like dreamlike fragments, adding a touch of warmth to this cold world. The lakes in the forest are like the eyes of the earth, appearing even clearer in winter. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the mountains and trees on the shore, creating a blend of reality and illusion, making it hard to tell which is more real, the scenery above or below the water. Occasionally, a few birds fly by, breaking the tranquility of the scene. Their wings stir the cold air, creating small ripples that spread across the lake. Despite being a season of hibernation, the forest park is still full of life. Squirrels leap and dart through the trees, their fluffy tails like little parachutes, helping them balance as they move nimbly between branches. They busily search for food, storing energy for the coming winter, their lively movements bringing a touch of vitality to the silent forest. And those birds that are not afraid of the cold sing joyfully on the branches, their songs echoing through the open woods, as if playing unique melodies for the forest, dispelling the winter gloom. As I stroll through this forest, my thoughts wander. Nature, like a profound sage, displays different aspects in the cycle of seasons. Whether it's the vibrant spring and summer or the bleak autumn and winter, each has its unique charm and philosophy. The winter forest park, though lacking in flowers, with its tranquility, simplicity, and tenacious vitality, makes one feel a restrained and deep power. It teaches us to settle our hearts in the noisy world, to hold on to ourselves, like those trees standing tall in the cold winter, not going with the flow, quietly waiting for the arrival of spring.

According to legend, during the Zhiping period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fuzhou governor Zhang Boyu called on citizens to plant banyan trees to provide shade, so Fuzhou has the reputation of "Banyan City". The tree is about a thousand years old, with a chest circumference of 9 meters and a crown projection area of ​​about 1,300 square meters. It is distributed in an orderly manner like auspicious clouds, just like a natural giant bonsai. It is one of the top ten city cards of Fuzhou. 3⃣ Fish watching under the banyan tree: The Banyan Fish Watching Scenic Area covers an area of ​​5,000 square meters. More than 15,000 koi are stocked in the fish watching pond centered on the "Fish Knowing Pavilion", and an artificial mist fountain is set up. In the distance, a thousand-year-old banyan tree is used as the background, and peach blossoms, pond cypress and other plants are planted. Visitors can stop by the railing, feed the fish, and look down at the swimming fish and the lush green ancient banyan trees in the distance. In spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the pavilions are covered in fog, which is a special attraction. 4⃣Rare Plant Garden: Covering an area of ​​about 2 hectares, it simulates the natural habitat for plant growth and is built according to local conditions.

In Fuzhou National Forest Park, there is also a cherry blossom garden. There are 22 varieties of cherry blossoms planted in the garden, mainly Fujian mountain cherry blossoms. However, it is not the peak period of cherry blossoms yet, so there are not many flowers to see. I finally saw a few flowers blooming in a few inconspicuous corners. From time to time there will be bees flying. It wasn’t until I was about to leave the park that I heard the driver of the electric car tell me that the best time to enjoy cherry blossoms is at the end of the month. It’s nothing. Anyway, I didn’t go to the park that day to enjoy cherry blossoms as my main purpose. ⛲️🌸🐝

After seeing the posts on social media, I learned that there is a large cedar forest in Fuzhou National Forest Park. Enter from the south gate of the forest park, and then follow the lakeside wooden plank road to find it. The cedars here are mainly pond cedars, and there are a few metasequoias. Although it is said to be 'walking on ice in the third and fourth nine days', this piece of reddish-brown cedar, coupled with the bright and warm sunshine, makes this winter in Fuzhou particularly warm and comfortable. In fact, I haven't been to this park for a long time, and the last time I went back to elementary school. 🌲🍂🍃
