Yantaishan will punish anyone who doesn't do their research...

I've been to Yantaishan many, many times, 💃💃 and it truly lives up to its reputation as a "World Architectural Exposition." It always feels fresh and new, with different scenery and a different experience depending on the lighting. Remember to take photos everywhere in Yantaishan (if you're feeling lazy, just remember the general route and wander without a fixed plan; you'll discover many surprises). ~Wanchun Alley: Get off at Exit B of Shangteng Station. At the end of Wanchun Alley is Fuzhou's most beautiful corner. After exploring here, walk towards Lixin Road. Lixin Road 👉 Cangqian Road 👉 Gongyuan Road: There are beautiful shops along the way, and the sunlight filtering through the trees is gorgeous! It can get a bit hot between 2 and 3 p.m. in the summer, and there are hardly any people around. It starts getting crowded around 5 or 6 p.m. Former Site of Hwanan Women's College: Just walk around and take some photos; you likely won't be able to go inside. In the opposite direction is the commercial street. Former Site of the French Consulate: A white building with an abandoned garden behind it. You can see it on the way to the commercial street. Yantaishan Commercial Pedestrian Street: Have afternoon tea or a meal here. Take photos from the rooftop or hilltop overlooking the area; Zhongzhou Island across the way also looks great. The Yue Bar I went to is here. Yantaishan Park: From the viewing platform, you can see Zhongzhou Island and Jiefang Bridge, and you can also capture photos of traditional Fuzhou houses and Western architecture in the same frame. Cangqian Road: Super beautiful river view, the entire road is great for strolling. I personally find the night view more appealing. The Zuimin restaurant I went to is here. Nearby, there are also places like Qingnian Hui and Shangxia Hang to explore. 🌟About Yantaishan Food Yue Bar: A century-old Western-style house converted into a bar and restaurant. It's stunning, from the interior to the terrace! The inside is like a forest cabin filled with greenery, and the terrace overlooks the Min River and Yantaishan. The sweet and sour pork, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and Min-style pan-fried liver are all worth trying. Zuimin: A transparent glass house by the Min River, offering a different atmosphere whether it's cloudy or sunny! One side offers river views, and the other is filled with greenery. I love their crispy Changting Hetian chicken, two-colored pomfret, and red mitten crab steamed rice cakes.
