West Lake Daydream✨

Seattle to Fuzhou: Chasing City Skylines & Lake Views 🌆🌊 If you want a mix of vibrant city scenes and some unexpected nature, follow my trail from Seattle’s urban energy all the way to the heart of Fuzhou! The absolute highlight: Fuzhou West Lake Park — an oasis right in the city center where sleek modern buildings meet peaceful lakes surrounded by lush greenery. Must-See: Fuzhou West Lake Park Address: 70 Hubin Road, Gulou District, Fuzhou Hours: 6:00–22:30 (last entry: 22:00) This park is seriously underrated! It’s perfect for catching clear-sky sunsets over the water and getting that iconic skyline shot with river reflections. Walk the shaded paths, chill by the lake, and look out for spots where local artists hang out — it’s a great way to tap into the city’s outdoor cultural vibe. My top tip? Go early morning or late afternoon for the best photos (and to dodge crowds). Getting Around: In Fuzhou, the city’s metro is fast, affordable, and gets you within walking distance of most central attractions. If you’re arriving from Seattle, use trip.com to book trains, taxis, or anything else you might need in advance — super convenient for non-Mandarin speakers! Eats You Should Try: Grab some local-style snacks at street stalls near the West Lake entrance: try taro cake or Fuzhou fish balls! There are also plenty of cafes lining Hubin Road if you want a riverside coffee break. Travel Tips: No visa needed for most short-term visitors from the US (check entry requirements on trip.com for updates). Bring some cash for local eats. Fuzhou’s weather can shift fast, so keep an umbrella on hand just in case! #fuzhouviews #urbannature #lakelife #tripdotcom #cityescape #hellohalloween
