A lazy person's must-have!!! Fuzhou trip for two days and one night, per capita 200
Day 1️⃣ Daming Food Street➡️Sanfang Qixiang
Day2️⃣ Shangxiahang➡️ Lin Zexu Memorial Hall➡️ Sanfang Qixiang
📍 Daming Food Street: We entered from the north gate and saw Tangchao Tangshui Shop. There were many people and the shop was a bit small (a little expensive, about 40-50 yuan per serving); there were many delicious Lao Hua on the opposite side, you can try them; there was licorice guava further in, remember to choose the one next to Wallace! Finally, there was a Dafa Meat Slices at the east gate of Sanfang Qixiang, about 200 meters from the south gate! It was super delicious, I ordered three servings, and I highly recommend the Golden Soup!
📍 Sanfang Qixiang: It's a long way from Daming Food Street to the Heart Tree. If you leave from the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall, it's about 200-300 meters away. The meat swallow in Sanfang Qixiang is very delicious, especially the sauce that comes with it. It's very tender and fresh. The fish balls in Fuzhou are really big, and one is almost as big as 2/1 of my fist. One person can't finish a serving.
After the whole process on the first day, I was already very tired, so I went back to the hotel to sleep.
📍 Shangxiahang: We went directly to the location of the hairpin flower by navigation. There might be nothing in front, but the further you go with the crowd, the more obvious the Fuzhou characteristic architectural style becomes. There is also a famous Minnan teahouse inside, which is also good for taking pictures.
📍 Lin Zexu Memorial Hall: You can enter directly without an appointment. I personally think it's worth going in. There are many popular science exhibitions about the dangers of drugs⚠️ and history. I recommend taking children to see it. The four-fruit soup opposite the east gate of the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall is very delicious, especially the taro mud with coconut juice and jelly. It's very refreshing.
🚗 Transportation: You can take the subway, Didi, or scan a single ride. You can also walk around the city, but I recommend doing it after dinner at night, otherwise it will be too hot🥵
🏨 Accommodation: You can stay near Sanfang Qixiang, where everything is close, or near the Liberation Bridge to see the night view at night🌃
👔 Dress: I recommend taking more Chinese-style clothes or cheongsams, which are very good for taking pictures in Shangxiahang.

It's not Shaoxing, it's Fuzhou
It's not Shaoxing, it's Fuzhou
I can also go boating on the lake in my great Fuzhou!
I had no intention of being like Jiangnan, but Jiangnan has entered my heart.
Sitting on the Fuzhou boat decorated with lotus flowers, facing the spring breeze and shuttling on the Yingfu Bridge and Rongyue Lake of the ancient town, going to a spring feast together, is the romance of Fuzhou people on weekends, right?
The Min-style buildings on both sides of the strait are endless, high and low, even the willow trees on the shore that have just sprouted new buds have become gentle, and the swallows gently glide over the bow of the boat, afraid of disturbing my thoughts. At that moment, I thought I had broken into a landscape painting... Just as I was intoxicated between the mountains and rivers, the petals in the sky broke the calm picture, accompanied by the beginning of the flower tide festival, the full screen of Jiangnan atmosphere is coming

October, South Hou Street, Fuzhou
South Hou Street in Fuzhou starts from the west at Yangqiao intersection, and ends in the south at the intersection of Jibi Lane and Macau Road, with a total length of about 1000 meters. It is the central axis of the 'Three Lanes and Seven Alleys' in Fuzhou city. There are seven alleys on its east side and three lanes on its west side. It was the main commercial street from the rise of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys in Fuzhou to the Republic of China period, with merchants gathered from north to south. South Hou Street is the central axis of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. The renovated South Hou Street will be full of ancient charm, and the width of the road will reach 12 meters, including a 7-meter-wide pedestrian street. South Hou Street, which starts from Yangqiao Road and ends at Jibi Road, is only 634 meters long. It is a leisure and cultural commercial street that combines tradition and modernity. Unfortunately, the old South Hou Street and some of the surrounding buildings were demolished from 2007 to 2009, and most of the existing buildings are replicas. With the construction of the new South Hou Street, many modern businesses have also entered this ancient area.
Now it is mainly about eating and drinking, which is quite suitable for the new generation.

Ann一人遊.
I stayed in Fuzhou for one night. The time was short. I didn't know where to go. My friend took me to Sanfangqixiang. Similar to Chengdu Kuanzhai Alley. In addition to tourists and locals often go there, there are food to buy, here Fuzhou ancient buildings and antique buildings have a taste, I took a mobile phone to take a picture. Now there are such places all over the country. Although there are many traces of artificial carving, it is also a good place to take pictures.
Old Lake Walker.
Fuzhou was built in 202 BC. It has a long history, nicknamed Yucheng. The most common natural thing on the street is the banyan tree, which is just a landscape.
And to Fuzhou, every time you will definitely arrive, it is the three squares and seven lanes.
Sanfang Qixiang is a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot. It is the only remaining part of Fuzhou Old Town after demolition and construction. It is precious and precious. This is the historical source and cultural root of Fuzhou.
Every time I go to Sanfangqixiang, I always enter from South Back Street, thinking about whether I will go in the next lane.
To a place, as a senior foodie, what is the first thing to do, probably to find an old name to eat and eat.
What's more, going in from the South Back Street, did not walk a few steps, is the old name of the pavement.
Tongli meat swallow, the store is not big, just a few tables and chairs, but it has been a crowd of people, everyone will end a bowl, sit on the bench outside to eat, so there are many places where Sanfangqixiang can sit There is no big problem. The same is true of
Yonghe Fish Ball.
meat swallow, fish balls are really not enough.
meat swallow's swallow skin is hand-made, the skin is transparent, tenacious, Q-slip is smooth, a bowl is not enough.
Fish pill skin is made with fish and there is stuffing inside. It is the baguette fish ball that we said. It tastes delicious and has a good aftertaste.
I am greedy, I can finish the soup.
There are also meat swallows and fish balls in the double fight, too lazy to go to the two stores, you can complete the task of eating in a store.

Impressions of Fuzhou.
Arrived in Fuzhou at noon on August 4, and went to Beida Road to eat a bowl of Fengjiao beef noodles. The shop is not big, but the business is booming, and it is not easy to park.
The temperature in Fuzhou is as high as 39 degrees. In the afternoon, I went to the Fujian Museum to learn about Fujian. The museum has exhibitions on the Traces of Fujian, the Blue Sea of Fujian, and the Light of Ancient Civilization. There are also temporary exhibitions on the Archaeological Achievements of the Austronesian People in Fujian and Fujian in Song Poetry.
I had a seafood feast at Wangzhuang Seafood Restaurant for dinner. As an inland person, I had never seen many of the seafood dishes before. They were very rich and delicious. The spicy crab was very tasty, no worse than Sichuan cuisine. Next to the restaurant is the "Three Lanes and Seven Alleys", which originated in the Jin Dynasty. Today, the ancient lanes and alleys have been preserved, making it one of the largest and best-preserved historical and cultural districts in China. Walking through the alleys and turning into Nanhou Street, the lights are bright and the people are bustling. There is a tree in the middle of the road with a heart-shaped crown, which attracts many tourists to take photos.
The main attractions in Fuzhou are the Three Mountains, Two Towers, and One Lane. On the morning of the 5th, I went to Wushan Mountain, one of the Three Mountains, and Wuta Tower, one of the Two Towers. Wushan Mountain is close to the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, with good vegetation and towering trees. It only takes more than ten minutes to reach the top of the mountain. Wushan Mountain is famous for its cliff carvings, and next to Daoshan Pavilion is the "Record of Daoshan Pavilion" by Zeng Gong, one of the Eight Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Wushan Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, with Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, as well as many Confucian temples, such as Jiuxian Temple and Xianshu Temple. Wuta Tower is located at the foot of the eastern slope of Wushan Mountain. The tower is made of granite, with seven octagonal floors, and each floor has a relief of a Buddha statue.
This is my first time in Fuzhou, and I have a good impression of it. However, the time is a bit tight, so I can only check in and come back next time to experience it properly.

A record of a hairpin photoshoot in Fuzhou on a rainy day.
I was stranded in Fuzhou due to the typhoon.
The original itinerary did not include a hairpin photoshoot.
I was worried that the photoshoot would be rushed and poorly done, which would delay my tight schedule, so I thought it would be better not to take photos.
Now I have an extra day, and there is nowhere else to go, so my friend said I had to take a hairpin photoshoot.
The following is self-funded and not an advertisement.
✅ I quickly searched for hairpin photoshoots near the hotel and called them in order to see if I could get a photoshoot on the same day.
✅ I made a phone appointment at 9:18, and five minutes later, the front desk gave me the time and precautions, and said I could come early to choose clothes if I had time.
✅ I arrived at the store at 11:00, half an hour early. Because it was raining, there were few customers, and a staff member immediately accompanied me to choose clothes. There were about four racks of clothes for hairpin photoshoots and three knives. I didn't do any research, so I simply asked the staff to help me choose.
✨ I originally preferred cyan and plain colors, but the staff recommended light colors (which was a very good choice for a cloudy day‼️), and brought me a cheongsam to try on (the size didn't fit), so I chose this light pink and purple color.
✅ 11:50 to 13:00 makeup and hair, random makeup artist.
The whole process was skilled and detailed, not too heavy, and acceptable to the naked eye. Communication and adjustments were quick, and the makeup artist kept chatting with me, comforting me that I could have fun here if I couldn't leave because of the typhoon. It was always like this during typhoons.
After the makeup and hair were done, I sent the look to two friends, and they both said it looked good. 👍
✅ 13:50 to 15:00 outdoor one-on-one photoshoot, random photographer.
The rain was heavy at times and light at times, and the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys were temporarily closed, but the photographer still helped me change five different scenes, and used a prop umbrella to block the rain when it was heavy. I was very surprised to capture many moments of falling rain, which looked like snow.
✨ I took 60+ photos, and went through them on the spot. There were no bad photos, and I was satisfied with all of them. The photographer said I could take more photos for fun before going back to change clothes.
✨ During the process, I said I wanted to record a video, and sometimes the photographer would help me adjust the position of the tripod.
✅ I received all the original photos the next day, and the retouching will take seven days. I am waiting for feedback. The photos I posted today were edited on my phone.

Three Lanes and Seven Alleys: A Journey Through Centuries of Charm
Strolling through Fuzhou's Three Lanes and Seven Alleys feels like stepping into a corridor of time. This ancient district boasts a long history, preserving the elegant architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties while exuding the unique cultural atmosphere of Fujian. The winding bluestone paths and the quaint Minnan-style courtyards are faintly visible, with intricately carved wooden doors slowly opening, as if telling visitors the historical stories of this place.
In the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, ancient trees and red brick walls create a picturesque scene, and the old streets are filled with the fragrance of tea and books, making one feel intoxicated. This place is also where many historical figures, such as Lin Zexu and Shen Baozhen, left their marks, with cultural imprints everywhere, as if every alley is whispering the past of this land.
During the day, sunlight falls on the bluestone slabs, making the alleys particularly tranquil; at night, lanterns hang high, and the warm lights illuminate the contours of history. Walking here feels like stepping into an ancient painting with one foot and into modern prosperity with the other, intertwining history and reality into the unique soul of this city.

This Thai restaurant in Fuzhou is unforgettable.
🔥Hidden in the Daming Food Street in Fuzhou is a Thai restaurant that I always take my friends to when they visit - Mai Cun Thai Cuisine (Sanfang Qixiang Branch)! 🎉This restaurant is always packed and there's always a line, but it's worth the wait! 😍
🦀The traditional curry crab is made with the finest ingredients! Two large crabs are served in a dish, the meat is full, and the yellow curry is rich and delicious. It's even better with rice! 🍲Tom Yum Goong is also a must-try. It's sour and spicy, and it's perfect with instant noodles. You won't be able to stop eating! 🍜
🥭The four-color mango sticky rice is not only delicious but also looks great. The mango is soft and juicy, and it's even better with coconut milk. Every bite is full of happiness! 🍚
This Thai restaurant not only satisfies my taste buds, but also makes me feel the charm of exotic customs. 🌍Every time I eat here, I feel like I'm on the streets of Thailand, enjoying authentic food. 💖

Missing my three days and two nights in Fuzhou🫧 Fun and photogenic🫶
Flipping through photos from my trip a few months ago
I really want to go to Fuzhou again!!! The sky is super blue and super beautiful!
day1: Fuzhou South Station-Sanfang Qixiang-Daming Food Street-Hotel
day2: Wanda Plaza-Yantai Mountain-Hotel
day3: Gushan Cable Car
📍Recommend Yantai Mountain! Great for taking photos! You can go at night, the lights are even more beautiful and it's not too hot!
📍Also recommend Sanfang Qixiang! The love tree and blue sky are a perfect match! There are many creative shops there, so you can buy some souvenirs easily!
ps. Fuzhou's Thai restaurants are really delicious! You can pick any one and you won't be disappointed! I ate Thai food three times in three days, who understands!
⚠️The only thing to avoid is a restaurant called "Deaf Uncle". My friend and I both think it's not delicious and not worth a special trip.

A hidden gem in Fuzhou's food scene, the taro duck had me at hello.
Walking through the streets of Fuzhou, I stumbled upon "Shadingji Fujian Claypot Cuisine Ginger Duck". What a pleasant surprise! The aroma of the taro duck hit me as soon as it was served. The skin was crispy and the taro was soft and dense, perfectly complementing the tender duck meat. It was sweet but not greasy, a perfect treat for a sweet tooth like me!
What's more, the handsome waiter gave me a mysterious fruit - calamondin. It was sour at first, but then it was sweet. It was like exploring a new era of taste. I looked it up online and found that this small fruit has a great effect on heat clearing and detoxification. It's both delicious and healthy.
This trip to Fuzhou was unforgettable because of this meal. Next time I come, Shadingji will be the reason for my reunion. If you're a foodie who loves to try new things and explore, it's definitely worth a detour!

Fuzhou!! Sanfang Qixiang!! A very nice hotel!!!
Fuzhou!! Sanfang Qixiang!! A very nice hotel!!!
The loft room type of the hotel has a very special and surprising layout! The first floor is a tea room where you can watch TV and entertain, which is very cozy. The second floor is two separate beds, the space is great, and it can accommodate 4 people! The facilities and utensils are hygienic, and there are many daily necessities in the room and at the front desk. The smart toilet is separated from wet and dry. The service is in place and not exaggerated, the front desk is kind, and the aunt will clean up every day and replenish Wahaha and snacks and afternoon tea is also delicious. Public facilities include computers and washing machines. It is highly recommended for family travel. The cost performance of more than 200 yuan/room is very high~
Hotel location and transportation: You can walk to Sanfang Qixiang, it is very close to the subway entrance, and it is convenient to travel. It is not far from Yantaishan Park and Pioneer Morning Market. The 301 bus at the door is very convenient, and it only costs more than 10 yuan by taxi.

A trip to Zhangzhou and Fuzhou.
My family and I started our National Day self-driving tour from Puning to Zhangzhou and Fuzhou.
On the first day morning, we set off from Huizhou and arrived in Puning at noon. We chose a restaurant that is worth recommending, Puning Courtyard. The restaurant has a beautiful environment with small bridges and flowing water. The dishes are abundant, the oysters are particularly fresh, the price is reasonable, and the taste is good.
After lunch, we continued to Zhangzhou.
On the second day morning, we went jogging at Shangmei Lake Park near the hotel. The park is not well developed, but the environment is still good and the area is quite large. We ran intermittently for 5 kilometers. There is a children's playground nearby, suitable for children to play.
After breakfast, we went to Zhangzhou Ancient City. The scenery along Haibin Road is very beautiful.
There are many people in the ancient city, so it is recommended to come early. If you come late, parking will be difficult. There are many local snacks here, such as oyster omelet, Pian Zi Huang grass sugarcane juice, salt-baked chicken leg, etc. We were already full after eating all the way.
Inside the ancient city, there is the First Hall of Lantern Riddles in China and the Zhangzhou Ancient City Memory Hall, which allows you to learn about Zhangzhou culture.
After a 3.5-hour drive in the afternoon, we arrived in Fuzhou.
The hotel we stayed in is Zhonggeng Julong Hotel, located in Cangshan District, very close to Gushan Scenic Area. We were upgraded to a sea view room for free, which is very large and beautiful. So we decided to extend our stay for one night. From the window, you can see the Minjiang River. The breakfast is also very rich, with various Fuzhou snacks. Parking and charging are very convenient.
On the third day, we went to Yantai Mountain Park, Fudao, Sanfang Qixiang, Lin Zexu Memorial Hall, to learn about the great man's life and achievements. It was worth the trip.
In the evening, we found a restaurant called "Broken Shop", which serves Fujian cuisine. The signature dishes are braised pork knuckle, traditional southern fried liver, and lychee meat. The taste is good.
When visiting each city, we have to run and check in. In Fuzhou, we chose Jin'an Lake Park, a good place for running. One lap is about 4 kilometers. The lake at night is very beautiful, and there is a Ferris wheel, but unfortunately it is not open. There are also many restaurants nearby. We used our mobile phones to record the beautiful moments.
Looking forward to the next trip.
