Stroll through the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, brushing past time, and converse with the sea breeze on Pingtan Island.
This city embraces history with tranquility and freedom with exuberance.
Wandering through the winding old streets of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys feels like opening the diary of a Qing Dynasty poet. Behind the wooden windows and under the gray tiles lies a century of family and national stories. The aura of scholars and poets still lingers in the air, and you might accidentally find yourself face-to-face with history.
Turn towards Pingtan Island, where the sea welcomes travelers with open arms. The stone houses glimmer in the sunlight, like blue-and-white verses scattered across the East China Sea. Ride with the wind, step into the waves, gaze at the ocean—no words are needed here, as this place redefines "tranquility" and "freedom."
Fuzhou is not just a city; it is a dual journey through time, half filled with cultural warmth and half with the sea breeze and starlight.
