Keep your phone and documents safe from water damage. • Water shoes + quick-drying pants: The rocks in the stream are slippery, so regular slippers are a no-go 🙅♀️! • Mini mosquito repellent patches: Stick them on your collar—more convenient than sprays, especially with all the bugs in the grass. • Folding seat cushion: The ground at Difengjiang Park can be damp, so bring a cushion to avoid getting wet. ⚠️ Cautionary Advice | Lessons Learned the Hard Way ❗️ Cell phone signal is weak in Baima Canyon. Download offline maps in advance and agree on a meeting point with your family. ❗️ There are no shops at Difengjiang Park. Bring enough water and snacks, but be sure to take your trash with you (the villagers are very clean). ❗️ There's a weight limit for the bamboo rafts at Qinglong Waterfall. People over 200 jin (approx. 220 lbs) need to ride separately. Don't ask me how I know 😭. ❗️ Some old houses in Luozhou Ancient Town are not open to the public. Ask politely before taking photos to avoid disturbing the residents. 🍜 Hidden Culinary Gems | Don't Miss These ✅ Yongtai Scallion Pancakes: Baked over charcoal, incredibly crispy, and a steal at 5 yuan for 3. ✅ Stewed Chicken with Qinghong Wine: A hidden gem on farmhouse menus.

In January, I encountered gentle weather and a slowly warming climate. I was dragged to a strange sports farm early in the morning, which was a bit of a stretch for me, as I don't like sports. Although I was full of thoughts, I fell in love at first sight when I saw him, and my heart was tied up. Located in the Jingxi Green Oasis, Dexian Sports Farm is next to the Min River. It has a large piece of land, with a romantic wine house, tea room, chess and card room, luxury private room, outdoor barbecue, old Beijing hot pot, tea by the stove, ground pot, KTV, etc. There is also a sports circle, mountain off-road vehicles, mountain motorcycles, and the farm is also home to the Fuzhou Motorcycle Sports Association and the Fuzhou Water Sports Association. This time, the farm arranged for us to take a boat to see the metasequoia forest. At noon, the warm sun shone on the blooming river, dipping a shimmering brush into the water, slowly sketching the banks of the Min River. We rode the wind into the metasequoia forest, and a colorful picture of the river unfolded before us. At this moment, we felt and enjoyed nature. After playing, my stomach began to protest strongly. When I saw the rich and varied dishes of the earth pit firewood chicken hot pot, I was completely tempted and opened my appetite to bravely eliminate the food. After eating and drinking, we crossed the artificial lake to our tea room and card room, where we had tea and chatted. At the end, I asked for one of their business cards. In addition to the farm being able to host banquets, team building, parent-child activities, parties, conferences, etc., there is also a party building activity room for party members. I sincerely give them a thumbs up. Address: Dexian Sports Farm, Jingxi Green Oasis, Fuzhou, Fujian Province

Fuzhou Ship Administration Cultural Scenic Area is located in Mawei District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. It is the first theme park in China with a focus on ship administration culture tourism, and it is the largest ship administration cultural base in the country as well as a patriotism education base in Fuzhou City. Mawei is situated at the mouth of the Min River in Fujian, just across the water from Taiwan. It has been the maritime gateway for Fuzhou since ancient times and was designated as one of the five treaty ports in the modern era. As early as 1866, Zuo Zongtang and Shen Baozhen founded the Fujian Ship Administration here. This was the first professional machinery shipbuilding factory in modern China, marking the beginning of a series of vigorous 'enrich the country and strengthen the military' activities, including building shipyards, constructing warships, manufacturing airplanes, establishing schools, recruiting talent, and sending students abroad for study. These efforts cultivated and produced a group of outstanding industrial and technological talents and distinguished naval officers of modern China, represented by figures such as Yan Fu, Zhan Tianyou, Sa Zhenbing, and Deng Shichang. They pioneered the spirit of 'observing the world with a detached view' and boldly proposed to 'look at the world with a cold eye'. By introducing advanced Western science and technology, spreading Chinese and Western cultures, and promoting the modernization process of China, it is known as the 'Living Fossil' of modern Chinese history.

The Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural District is located in Taijiang District of Fuzhou City, adjacent to the north bank of the Min River, with a total land area of 476 acres. It is a collection of cultural relics protection units, registered cultural relics sites, and traditional architectural styles, possessing a profound historical and cultural heritage. Taijiang, formerly known as 'Nantai', stands facing the river and has been a distribution center for goods from various places in Fujian Province entering the provincial capital since ancient times. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the southern foot of Huize Mountain (now called Daimiao Mountain) has been the site of the 'three miles of the Min River, with its vast and surging waves'. Due to the long-term accumulation of silt, two 'sand traces' were formed, becoming the water transport wharves for berthing ships and loading and unloading goods in the vast Min River, known as 'Upper Sailing' and 'Lower Sailing'. The word 'Hang' evolved from the sound of 'Sailing'. In ancient times, the Min River water bypassed Daimiao Mountain, gradually forming 'Luzhou' (land island), and then evolved into a prosperous commercial and trade district, renamed 'Shanghang' and 'Xiahang'. This name has been used to this day, with a history of three to four hundred years. This place was once an important birthplace of the 'Fujian merchant spirit' in Fuzhou, known as the 'Fuzhou Traditional Commercial Museum'. After restoration and transformation, the Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural District has not only become a new calling card for Fuzhou tourism but also a new landmark for the night-time economy. The area is commercially prosperous, with a gathering of merchant groups and a forest of guild halls, with as many as 14 guild halls at its peak. The Gutian Guild Hall, Yongde Guild Hall, Jianning Guild Hall, Nanguo Guild Hall, Minqing Guild Hall, and other guild halls built by merchant groups from various places either feature Chinese-style carved beams and painted rafters or a unique style combining Chinese and Western elements. They witnessed the early trade integration of Fuzhou with the world and the early trade prosperity of Fujian.

🌟 Highlights: I visited Fuzhou twice this year, and I personally like to stroll around the parks by the Min River. When the weather is good, the scenery is quite nice, and it's also great for drone photography. Thanks to the good greening and landscape lighting on both sides of the river, both the night view and the daytime scenery are worth a visit. ⏳ Visiting Time: Park walking time is quite flexible, mainly depending on the schedule. I happened to arrange to have dinner by the river, so I took a walk in the afternoon and at dusk. The core of the night view is mainly concentrated around Zhongzhou Island, and the daytime scenery is also quite good. However, there is a lot of pedestrian traffic on both sides of Zhongzhou Island at night, especially near Yantai Mountain, so walking is recommended.

The recent temperature is comfortable, After having a full meal at Dongbai, Right next to it is the pedestrian street, Taking a walk feels so relaxing. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, There are stage performances, Quite lively. Standing on the railing, Overlooking Minjiang and the dimming lights. Walking along the road to finish the Jiefang Bridge, The other side of the bridge is Yantai Mountain, Bought two breads at the Little Hunter Bakery, Continuing to walk towards the vine station, Subway is free after five o'clock in the evening.

Night tour of Min River Night tour of Min River It's July, taking advantage of the cool river breeze in the intense heat. When night falls on the Min River, the gentle breeze brushes against my face, bringing me indescribable joy. I took a boat to observe the river and the sea, and now I record it. At first sight of the incoming boats, the lights are brilliant, the scenery is beautiful, and I, along with the tourists, board the boat. Suddenly, the river wind rises, standing up to feel the wonder of nature; bending down to admire the beauty of the lights. The fortunate ones are enjoying the state of fortune, and all the tourists are overjoyed. Turning the boat around, I marvel at the bridge houses. Having this view in midsummer, it's worth the trip. Suddenly, the boat is about to stop, and all the fantastic scenery is with it. Not knowing the troubles of life, one should know that there are the wonders of prosperity and the sadness of decline. Do not take the joy of success as joy, nor the sadness of decline as sadness. Seek to be diligent and cautious. This is how success is achieved.
