A Foodie's Must-Try Culinary Adventure in Fuzhou!

Waking up to Fuzhou's tranquil morning, I chose to start my taste bud journey with a cup of Tangmo Tea. Their "Happy" and "Subtle Oolong" teas are an ultimate tease to the palate, instantly awakening the dormant soul. Lunchtime calls for a seafood feast! At Bao Youcai·Seafood Market Hotpot, just 70+ RMB per person grants you seafood freedom—no dream! In the self-selection pool, abalones, razor clams, and red crabs bounce lively as if saying, "Pick me! Pick me!" The fish maw chicken broth instantly elevates the freshness to eyebrow-raising levels! Meat lovers and seafood enthusiasts, this is your paradise! As dusk falls, Xieji Big Tree BBQ becomes my perfect digestion stop. At 5.8 RMB per liang (50g), their grilled meats offer unbeatable value! Freshly sliced pork belly sizzles on charcoal, brushed with secret sauce—absolutely divine! The heavenly combo of grilled green grapes + beef bursts with sweet-sour juices, cutting through richness—a must-try! Post-dinner, stroll around West Lake Park, rowing boats while admiring the scenery—pure bliss. The breathtaking sunset at dusk is utterly mesmerizing. When night falls, Shanqian Tavern lights up with its retro wooden decor oozing ambiance. Their fall-off-the-bone chicken feet claypot and Qianlong cabbage with rich sesame sauce pair perfectly with the photogenic "Pineapple" sparkling cocktail—vibes guaranteed! No Fuzhou food trip is complete without locals' hidden gems! Daming Road's licorice guava—sweet, tangy, and the ultimate palate cleanser! Don't miss childhood classics like Changle ice rice and Fuzhou laohua (rice noodle soup).
