Hiking up involves climbing about 1,400 steps, around 40 minutes
Or take the cable car🚡 about 10 minutes
Visit the millennium-old Shizhu Temple built on a cliff
One side against the mountain, three sides hanging in the air, surrounded by huge jagged rocks—truly spectacular!
You can wait for the sunset🌄 at the top in the evening
Overlooking the small island in the center of Dongzhang Reservoir, very beautiful and relaxing📷

2️⃣ Yonghong Wildlife World
A paradise for kids!!!
Covering more than 200,000 square meters! Lots of fun activities!
Most of the small animals can be interacted with closely!
You can walk into the park to feed them, truly getting close to the animals
There are also scheduled performances daily🐎
The Royal Circus and Forest Theater are both worth seeing!
🕐 The park closes at 17:00, recommended to arrive before 13:00

3️⃣ Liqiao Ancient Street
The Fuqing version of “Three Lanes and Seven Alleys”!
Blue bricks and black tiles, carved arcade buildings
The unique Minnan architectural style is worth a visit!
See Fuqing landmarks like Ruiyun Tower and Tianhou Palace
Stroll through the lively streets full of local flavor
Have a cup of coffee, walk the alleys, and reminisce about old times~

4️⃣ Youth Association Square
Fuzhou is not just Three Lanes and Seven Alleys or Yantai Mountain
If you want to avoid crowds and take cinematic photos
You must come here!
In the evening, enjoy the breeze and wait for the sunset on the big lawn
Take a walk on the Youth Bridge
Countdown to the lighting moment of Zhongzhou Island Castle🕌

Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg
There are many more places worth visiting around Fuzhou!
Waiting for you to explore slowly!
