Fuzhou's off-season charm is irresistible! Enjoy both delicious food and stunning scenery.

🌈Attraction Features: Fuzhou, the "Banyan City," reveals its unique charm during the off-season. The artistic streets, warm and humid climate, and the beautiful scenery hidden in every corner of the city are all fascinating. From the stunning island scenery of Pingtan Island to the historic cultural districts in the city center and the artistic shops on Yantaishan Mountain, Fuzhou always has something to touch your heart. 🚗Transportation: Fuzhou has convenient transportation, whether you are traveling within the city or heading to Pingtan Island. You can take buses, subways, or taxis within the city. If you are going to Pingtan Island, it is recommended to hire a car or rent a car, as it is only an hour's drive from Fuzhou city. In summer, you can also rent electric scooters to roam around Pingtan Island, but in winter, the sea breeze is strong, so it is recommended to choose a more comfortable mode of transportation. 🚩Queues: Fuzhou's attractions are relatively scattered, and most are open-air scenic areas, so queues are not a major issue. Some popular attractions, such as Sanfang Qixiang and Yantaishan, may have large crowds during holidays or weekends, but overall, the travel experience in Fuzhou is relatively relaxed. 👍️Recommended Reasons: Fuzhou is worth visiting not only for its rich natural landscape and historical and cultural heritage but also for its unforgettable cuisine. The seafood is fresh and delicious, and there is a wide variety of traditional snacks, allowing you to indulge in culinary delights while sightseeing.
