"Fuzhou: A City of Ancient Charm, Where History and Culture Converge"​

It is said that those blessed come to the blessed city. Walking into the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, half of modern history seems to unfold before your eyes. People only know "contentment brings happiness," but forget the latter half, "endurance brings peace." Stepping into the former residence of Lin Juemin and Bing Xin, gazing at the sparse plum blossoms filtering moonlight outside the window, one feels a faintly hidden charm. In the streets and alleys, rickshaws tell stories of that era, and the Tree of Love highlights the charm of our times. Here, you can feel the blend of history and modern civilization. 📍 𝐅𝐮 𝐳𝐡𝐨𝐮 —— "Come to the blessed city, be a blessed person" 🚗 Before coming to Fuzhou, I had no concept of it.

At dusk, the light and shadow are mottled. Wearing Hanfu or qipao here for photos instantly transforms you into a Jiangnan water town painting!🌉 Fun fact: The bridge’s name comes from "three waterways navigable." At high tide, the two rivers converge, and merchant ships come and go like shuttles. It was once a witness to Fuzhou’s prosperous trade. 2️⃣ Yongde Guild Hall The "office" of the Yongchun and Dehua merchant groups in Rong, featuring carved gates and courtyard corridors that showcase the essence of Minnan architecture.
