Accommodation, transportation, attractions, things to avoid, and food recommendations are all covered! ## I. Transportation Recommendations 1. **Airport Travel**: Fuzhou's airport is Changle International Airport. However, it is quite far from the city center and there is no direct subway access. Driving from the airport to the city center takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Imagine stepping off the plane, dragging your luggage out of the airport, and being greeted by the unique atmosphere of Fuzhou. Although the journey is a bit long, it's a unique way to start your encounter with Fuzhou. 2. **High-Speed Rail Stations**: Fuzhou has two main high-speed rail stations: Fuzhou Station and Fuzhou South Station. Fuzhou Station is located in the city center, making it very convenient to start your Fuzhou trip as soon as you get off the train. Fuzhou South Station is farther from the city center, but fortunately, there is subway access, so you can easily get to the city center even with heavy luggage. 3. **Subway Travel**: Fuzhou has already opened Lines 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. Simply apply for a Fuzhou electronic subway card and you can travel freely on the subway. Riding the subway through the city's underground, watching the changing lights and signs outside the window, feels like you're exploring the city's veins. 4. **Taxi Options**: When taking a taxi in Fuzhou, it is recommended to choose online ride-hailing services. This is both convenient and avoids unnecessary troubles. You can sit comfortably in the car, enjoy the street view outside the window, and wait to reach your destination. 5. **Cycling Experience**: Fuzhou also has shared bicycles. Ride a shared bicycle slowly along the streets, feel the breeze on your face, and explore the hidden beauty in the corners of the city. But be careful, after using the shared bicycle, be sure to park it in accordance with the regulations and be a civilized traveler. ## II. Accommodation Recommendations 1. **Near Dongjiekou**: This can be said to be the bustling center of Fuzhou, with almost all the delicious and fun things concentrated nearby. Imagine returning to your hotel after a day of sightseeing, stepping out to enjoy a variety of cuisines, browsing unique shops, and experiencing the city's vibrant atmosphere. 2. **Around Subway Stations**: Choosing accommodation near subway stations is very cost-effective. Fuzhou's subway is very convenient. Staying near a subway station allows you to reach any attraction quickly and easily, saving a lot of time and energy. ## III. Must-Visit Attractions 1. **Three Lanes and Seven Alleys**: This is a must-visit popular attraction in Fuzhou. The narrow alleys seem to hide half of modern history. Walking here, you can see representative ancient street buildings, which are like silent old men, telling stories of the past. There are also various specialty snacks and cultural and creative shops on both sides of the street, allowing you to satisfy your taste buds and shopping desires while experiencing history and culture. Among them, be sure to take a photo with the Love Tree, which is the iconic spot of Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. But be aware that some former residences of celebrities are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so it is recommended that you visit on weekends. The scenic area is open all day, while the opening hours of the former residences of celebrities and museums are from 9:00 to 18:00. 2. **Yantai Mountain**: Before leaving Fuzhou, be sure to take a good stroll around Yantai Mountain. It brings together many artistic elements and creative trendy shops, and every corner is full of artistic atmosphere. Walking on the streets of Yantai Mountain is like being in a world of art, perfect for taking photos and checking in. Any photo you take can flood your social media feed. 3. **Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural Block**: You don't have to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In Fuzhou's Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural Block, you can also feel the charm of small bridges and flowing water. In the evening, the lights of the block light up, reflecting on the water, which is beautiful. It takes about 40 minutes to stroll through the entire block. Whether it is day or night, it is worth visiting. 4. **Fudao Greenway**: It's great to come to Fudao Greenway for a walk after dinner in the evening. If you come in January and February, you will see the maple leaves turning red. The red color all over the mountains and plains complements the dawn redwood, which is as beautiful as a painting. At this time, it is recommended to wear white clothes, which match the color of the dawn redwood very well. However, the trails of Fudao Greenway are relatively long, so remember to wear light shoes so that you can easily enjoy the fun of walking. 5. **Mount Gu**: Mount Gu is suitable for visiting when the weather is good. You can take the cable car to overlook the scenery below the mountain; climb the mountain to feel the fresh air of nature; watch the sunset and admire the beautiful sunset glow. In the evening, the night view of Mount Gu is also very beautiful. You can find a place to blow the wind, drink tea, and enjoy this leisurely time. 6. **Pingtan**: If you have plenty of time, it is recommended to go to Pingtan to see the sea and chase the blue tears. The best time to chase the tears is from April to August. When night falls, the blue fluorescence twinkles in the sea, as if it is a romantic gift from the sea to you. Even if you don't go during the tear-chasing season, the scenery of Pingtan is still very beautiful. The blue sea and golden beach will make you linger. ## IV. Photo Spots Fuzhou's Sanbaidao (Three Knives) is really beautiful. Its beauty, which combines strength and softness, makes people can't help but want to take photos as a souvenir. There is a place called Xingyuege, where my bestie took photos of Sanbaidao in Xingyuege in Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, which is really beautiful! The makeup here is very attentive, not the kind of cookie-cutter online celebrity makeup, and the price is very high. All the original photos are also given. You can also come here and leave your own Fuzhou memories. I hope this guide can help you have a pleasant holiday in Fuzhou. Start your Fuzhou Citywalk trip!
