Located next to the Cangshan Campus of Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou Student Street, also known as Normal University Student Street, boasts a long history. It is renowned in Fuzhou for its diverse selection of stationery, accessories, clothing, shoes, hats, small commodities, daily necessities, and snacks. With its reasonably priced, affordable and fashionable merchandise, Student Street is a popular destination for Fuzhou's fashionable young people and students, both for leisure and holiday shopping. Today, Student Street has evolved into a renowned commercial district featuring a wide selection of goods at competitive prices. Hundreds of shops line the four to five hundred-meter-long street.
However, the area surrounding Normal University Street is mostly comprised of low-rise, older residential areas, dotted with utility poles and a dense web of wires, posing a significant fire safety hazard. The numerous nearby universities and the influx of tourists have led to chronic congestion on Student Street, making traffic safety difficult to ensure. The sewage network is inadequate, and the sanitation issues posed by food stalls and food stalls are also serious.
