This is the most 'Jiangnan' place in Fuzhou, and it's so beautiful to wander around at this time~

I've always felt that Fuzhou, the treasure capital between the mountains and the sea, not only has the elegance of an ancient city but also the romance of a coastal city. It was not until I visited Shangxia Hang that I discovered its 'Little Jiangnan' side. The relaxed nature of Fuzhou people is fully embodied here. Walking along the riverbanks of Shangxia Hang, you are shaded by lush banyan trees overhead and tread upon quaint and elegant stone bridges underfoot. Small boats creak and squeak as they pass under the bridge arches, while along the riverbanks are tea pavilions, palm-leaf fans, and jasmine tea. This place is a commercial street, but not entirely so. Teahouses, cafes, and niche museums are scattered like pearls along both banks of the river embankment, with all kinds of delicious snacks and Fuzhou delicacies tucked in between, including peanut soup, taro paste, meat swallows, glutinous rice, small tangyuan, and old Fuzhou (restaurant). The sticky life in Fuzhou is really too wonderful~ I highly recommend visiting Shangxia Hang in the evening. Take advantage of the daylight to explore the niche museums and enjoy the food. When the sunset blue hour arrives and the lights come on, it's a whole new surprise and experience. Playing with two different feelings of Shangxia Hang in one go, this trip is definitely a win~
