AN TAI SHE QU SHI TANG

I went there for the meal and was a little disappointed. I climbed three slopes to the restaurant and there were already many people waiting for a table. It took about an hour and a half to get there. It was hot and noisy and the dining environment was average. 🫣The signature lychee meat was sweet. 🫣The stir-fried pork kidney was not cleaned properly. It was paired with jellyfish, which was amazing. 🫣The sour and spicy squid soup was a bit disappointing. The soup base should be black pepper, vinegar and a lot of sugar. It was sour with a very sweet taste, and the squid was fishy. 🫣The pepper and salt razor clams were quite plump when fried directly, and the stir-fried pork liver was also 🉑️. I spent 220💰

Days 2 and 3: Exploring Historic Houses, Fireworks, and Art Day 1: Exploring the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys • Morning: Enjoy the Tranquility of the Alleys Depart from the hotel at 6:00 AM and walk to the Antai River Stone Bridge in Guizhili. The reflections of the black-sailed boats in the morning mist are a breathtaking sight, a true "Fuzhou version of Jiangnan." Every photo is a stunning masterpiece. At 7:00 AM, explore Nanhou Street. At this time, there are fewer tourists, allowing you to savor the tranquility of the heart-shaped trees and the empty bluestone alleys. At 8:00 AM, visit Yili Lane for a bowl of firewood-fired pot-side soup. Freshly pried oysters are delicious at 6 yuan a bowl. • Morning: Explore the Alleys Walk a 2-minute walk from the hotel into the alleys. Follow the route: Nanhou Street → Former Residences of Lin Juemin and Bing Xin → Xiaohuanglou in Huangxiang → Maritime Silk Road Museum in Wenrufang. A 20-yuan ticket to Xiaohuanglou allows you to view the Moon Cave Gate and century-old lychee trees. At the Maritime Silk Road Museum, you can see a model of a Ming Dynasty merchant ship for free. After a tiring day, visit Weimeike Handicraft in Huangxiang to make a jasmine sachet for 9.9 yuan. • Lunch: Find a bite at Daming Food Street Exit the north gate of Sanfang Qixiang and cross the street to find a cluster of affordable snacks.

Enjoy the Jiefang Bridge light show from the upper terrace. Before returning, don't forget to grab a 12 yuan box of chilled taro paste at the Juchunyuan takeout window. Day 2: A Timeless Dialogue Between Shangxiahang and Yantai Mountain • Morning: Explore the Shangxiahang Water Village Take Metro Line 1 and transfer to Line 2 to Dadao Station, then walk 5 minutes to the "Fuzhou Water Village."

We recommend visiting the Zheng Chunfa Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Cultural Center and ordering a simple version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to experience the essence of Fujian cuisine. • Lunch: Authentic Fujian Cuisine Feast Take a 15-minute taxi ride to "Lao Fuzhou (Doudong Branch)." Must-try the sweet and sour crispy lychee meat and the refreshing stir-fried double crispy. For 80 yuan per person, you can fully experience the essence of Fujian cuisine. For those who prefer home-style cuisine, Kaifu Restaurant is also a good choice. Their signature crispy large intestine and razor clam with egg are truly a "rice killer." • Afternoon: Explore the International Architecture of Yantai Mountain Take Metro Line 2 to Shangteng Station, then walk 10 minutes to Yantai Mountain. Along Cangqian Jiuli, Tingxia Road, and Lequn Road, explore the former sites of Western consulates and traditional Chinese houses.

For just 50 yuan per person, you'll be satisfied. Day 3: Savor the Remaining Charm of the Old City • Morning: Ancient Books and Intangible Cultural Heritage Visit the Useless Space Bookstore, order a glass of iced olive juice, browse through a reproduction of a Fuzhou ancient book, and get a "Fangxiang Poetry Seal" postcard for 3 yuan.

III. Practical Tips 1. Transportation: Get a "Fuzhou Electronic Metro Card" from Alipay and scan the QR code to ride. Most tourist attractions are connected by the subway, and taxi fares start around 10 yuan. 2. Clothing: The alleys are mostly cobblestone, so wearing Crocs is recommended (they quickly transform into slippers in rainy weather). An umbrella is recommended as it's rainy from April to June. 3. Goodies: Self-service coffee and milk tea are available in the hotel's public areas. The washing machines and fitness room are free. Mosquito repellent and other supplies are available at the front desk.

After I posted my Fuzhou travelogue, someone asked me if I could share some delicious food I ate there. So, I went back and sorted it out and shared it with everyone. [Love] Three Lanes and Seven Alleys 1. I can't remember the name of this place in Figure 1, but it's a random little place I found right across from Bread Flower. The bibimbap and beef noodles there are both delicious, and the portions are huge. 2. Maiji Milk Dessert: The mango snow 🧊, cassava grand slam, and fresh peach gum stewed milk are all amazing. 3. Bread Flower (Exit East Street A, turn right at the second intersection and walk 100 meters): The pickled cucumber and beef alkaline soup and ciabatta are both delicious. 4. Licorice Guava: The mango, guava, and pineapple combo was delicious, and the portion was generous. 5. Antai Community Canteen: We ordered four dishes: lychee meat, fried noodles, scrambled eggs with chives (the portion was huge, and I was very generous with the eggs; they were delicious), and boiled pork slices. P.S.: The portions at this restaurant are really huge. If you're dining with two or three people, I recommend ordering only two or three dishes. 6. I went there because I was craving a Domino's. 7. Tangmo Tea: I loved the Happy, Mulifu, and Osmanthus Fragrance. I especially enjoyed the Happy, which I had four in three days!!!

If you come to Fuzhou to play B&B, you must stay here! I walked here on the weekend. After the Fuzhou high-speed rail arrived, I booked the hotel offline. I chose it casually and didn’t expect to be surprised! Sincerely recommend Fuzhou Huajiantang, it’s really good! Non-Guangzi, such a large group doesn’t need Guangzi like me The location is very convenient: it’s right in Zhuzi Xiangfu, and it’s only more than 10 minutes away from various classics in Sanfang Qixiang! There is an Internet celebrity restaurant at the door, Antai Community Canteen~ The key is to find peace in a small courtyard in the hustle and bustle, which is very comfortable! Environment: There are two very tall magnolia trees in the courtyard. In season, even if the balcony door is closed, there will be a faint magnolia fragrance in the room! The room is equipped with a small balcony, which is just right for close contact with the magnolia tree. It’s very good to take pictures in the evening! Service: After booking the room, you will call to greet. The arrival methods include check-in food boxes, afternoon tea, etc.! In the evening, the front desk also responded very quickly to send things. In the afternoon, there is a lacquer fan handmade experience to make a very "Dunhuang style" fan, and Qiuxiang Green also responds to the season! Afternoon tea has a pot of roselle tea, with some candied nuts, the quantity is very sufficient! One person can't finish it, and in line with the principle of not wasting, I took the unfinished candied nuts back to the room and continued to eat! Hygiene: No need to say anything special, I am a very picky person, and I didn't find any faults this time! Price: OK, a little expensive 400-600 (depending on the situation) I didn't expect the experience in Fuzhou to be very good, Huajiantang really left a good impression on me! #Photographing a super beautiful exhibition #These hotel landscapes are awesome #Hotel stay addicted #One-stop resort hotel #Have fun with friends

🍽️Antai Community Canteen 💰️58 yuan/person 💗I learned that lychee meat means meat that looks like lychee, not lychee-flavored meat. It tastes very much like sweet and sour pork and sweet and sour pork. The taste of the fermented eel is quite good and feels very delicious. 🍽️Antai Building (Sanfang Qixiang Fujian Cuisine Landmark Store) 💰️84 yuan/person 💗Fuzhou local specialty food and snacks, basically there are Buddha Jumps Over the Wall here, which tastes just as you imagine, and the vinegar and oil sauce here is delicious with everything 🍽️Zhu Zifang Pig's Hoof·Fuzhou Cuisine (Sanfang Qixiang Store) 💰️45 yuan/person 💗I chose a meal for two, and the dishes are all small portions, with a large proportion of sweet and sour flavors. The rice can be refilled endlessly and you can eat enough. It is a good place to experience Fuzhou cuisine. It is recommended to dine with more than two people to experience more dishes hahahaha. 🍽️Wanda Snacks (Hengyu International Store) 💰️74 yuan/person 💗It's basically locals eating here. We ordered a few signature dishes, all of which are delicious. The price-performance ratio is really good 🍽️Xin Tianranju Pork Bone Store (Liuyi North Road Store) 💰️83 yuan/person 💗Can you say it's really delicious! I feel that both old Fuzhou people and young people like their store very much! Pork bone hot pot base is really not available in other places, and the taste of their store is not the same! 🍽️Jiaotong Road Fuxin Fish Balls (Provincial Road Store) 💰️14 yuan/person 💗It's a time-honored brand. The fish balls are chewy and not very fishy. I don't know how they are made. There are also fillings in the noodles. It's also very good. It's very cheap. It only cost 5 yuan, which is not expensive. The fish balls and noodles cost less than 20 yuan in total. You can try the shark balls next time.
