The hotel I chose this time was originally intended to be closer to Sanfang Qixiang, but I found out in the morning that Fuzhou West Lake Park was actually closer.

In the afternoon, we went to the Fuzhou Museum, and on the way back, we walked through West Lake Park from another direction. The wooden plank road and the big banyan tree, this road feels great. Many pavilions in the park are lit up in the evening, with the shadows of the trees swaying, which feels more flavorful than in the morning. Disadvantages: Although there are many things related to West Lake, such as the Jade Belt Bridge, West Lake Academy, and Lake West Pavilion, there are still very few things with connotations inside. Many buildings that look antique are vacant inside, soulless and only superficial.
