🏮Fuzhou's Three Lanes and Seven Alleys | Explore the Millennium-Old Fujian Charm of the Alleys

The Three Lanes and Seven Alleys are Fuzhou's iconic landmarks. Their vibrant Fujian charm evokes a sense of place amidst the dark blue bricks and black tiles. Stepping inside feels like opening a three-dimensional ancient book. 📜

📍Basic Information:
Located on Nanhou Street in Fuzhou's Gulou District, it's open 24/7. Admission to the main street is free. Some of the former residences of famous figures (such as the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall and Bing Xin's Former Residence) require admission (approximately 10-20 yuan). Tickets can be purchased on-site or reserved online.

🌟Must-Experiences:

• Explore the Ancient Alleys: Nanhou Street is the main street, while smaller alleys like Yangqiao Alley and Langguan Alley are more tranquil. Brick carvings, wood carvings, horse-head walls, and other architectural details can be seen everywhere, making for stunning photos.

• Visit the former residences of famous figures: The Lin Zexu Memorial Hall offers a deep dive into the history of the Opium War and patriotism; the former residences of Bing Xin and Lin Huiyin embody the elegant charm of literati, perfect for a quiet moment of reflection.

• Try Fujian snacks: The fish balls from Nanhou Street are chewy and delicious, and Yonghe Fish Balls is a time-honored brand. Tongli meat dumpling wrappers are thin, generously stuffed, and bursting with juicy flavor—a must-try!

💡 Tips:
During holidays, it's recommended to visit early in the morning. Wear comfortable flat shoes; walking the cobblestone streets of the ancient alleys can tire your feet. For local specialties, consider jasmine tea, a refreshing and classic Fuzhou specialty.
