The 68-nautical-mile scenic area is well worth a visit. It's the closest point between mainland China and Taiwan. Be careful not to cross the yellow lines marked in the scenic area, as it can be dangerous. The staff are very responsible and will blow whistles to warn you if you cross the yellow lines. It's a great place for taking photos, and it's not too hot to walk around in the scenic area right now.

The scenic area isn't actually very large, but it's a bit of a hassle. First, you need to take a shuttle bus, and then if you don't want to walk, you can take a sightseeing bus, which costs 10 yuan per ticket. The main attractions are the sea, large rocks, and various meaningful landmarks.

When visiting Fuzhou, a leisurely stroll through the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys is a must. Walking on the cool cobblestone streets, looking up at the staggered saddle-shaped walls, white walls and gray tiles, you'll see the quintessential old Fuzhou. No need to rush to see the must-see spots; just wander into any alley, and you'll find ancient houses and courtyards brimming with stories. The streets are bustling with the aroma of everyday life—meat dumplings, fish balls, and peanut soup fill the air—a truly blissful experience as you stroll and savor the delicious treats.

The location is superb, right next to the Longmen Transfer Center. You can go canyoning right outside the hotel, and it's quite close to Longmen Pool. The hotel is also very clean. Although it was raining, the room was very dry, not as damp as I had imagined. I especially loved the terrace; the view was amazing in the morning. The food was also good, quite tasty, although eating in the scenic area is generally expensive, but that's understandable. I'd definitely book here again next time I visit.

Fuzhou, a city blessed with good fortune, offers opportunities to soak in hot springs, enjoy seafood, and take a night cruise on the Minjiang River – a truly relaxing and pleasant experience. The electric cruise ship is particularly noteworthy; it's quiet, and you can sit at the bow and admire the night view – a wonderful experience.

Gushan Mountain in Fuzhou is definitely worth a climb. The mountain forests are serene, and the cliff carvings are rich in cultural heritage. Climbing to the top offers panoramic views of the city and allows you to truly appreciate the mountain scenery of Fuzhou, a city blessed with good fortune. Moving on to Beibu Gulf in Pingtan, for dining, look no further than Beibu Gulf Xiaobailou. Their freshly caught seafood is incredibly sweet, and you can enjoy your meal on the terrace overlooking the sea. The owner is so friendly that he can even take you to see bioluminescent plankton. For accommodation, choose Shuangchuang Julu Youth Hostel. It's clean, comfortable, and has a strong travel atmosphere. It's very close to all the must-see spots along the northern route, making island travel super convenient. A one-stop recommendation for food and lodging along the northern route of Pingtan! ✨

Seafood Restaurant (小白楼) has an excellent reputation. The owner is honest and transparent, with clearly marked prices to avoid overcharging. Seafood is caught daily, ensuring freshness and plumpness. The cooking methods are authentic and flavorful, with dishes like boiled shrimp and steamed crab bursting with sweetness. Local snacks are also authentically flavorful. Portions are generous, and the price is great. They even offer free guided tours to see the bioluminescent plankton (blue tears), making it a reliable choice for seafood in Pingtan. Gushan Mountain is majestic and serene, with winding hiking trails and ancient temples nestled among the trees. From the summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of Fuzhou, including the river and city. The air is fresh, making it a great place for leisurely hiking and relaxing. It combines cultural and natural beauty for a truly pleasant experience. Beibu Gulf Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cluster Youth Hostel boasts a clean and comfortable environment, spacious and cozy common areas, complete facilities, and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It offers great value for money. Located right next to the sea view and ecological corridor, it's conveniently situated and an excellent choice for accommodation and socializing for young people on the northern route of Pingtan.

Stroll through Shangxiahang, fulfilling an old rendezvous with Fuzhou. The Sanjie River flows gently through the streets, the Santong Bridge lies serenely on its surface, ancient houses line both banks, saddle-shaped walls rise and fall gracefully, and red lanterns sway gently in the evening breeze. This place was once a bustling ancient port for Fujian merchants, the bluestone slabs worn smooth by time, and the old banyan trees with their luxuriant roots telling tales of a prosperous past.

Must-Visit in Fuzhou | Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural District ✨ Hidden in Fuzhou city are century-old Minnan merchant streets, with small bridges, flowing water, old banyan trees, and ancient houses. The blend of traditional charm and modern life is captivating. The atmosphere is absolutely electric when the lights come on in the evening. A must-visit in Fuzhou! ✅Recommended Itinerary: After exploring Shangxiahang, head straight to Beibu Gulf in Pingtan 🍤Dining: Beibu Gulf Seafood Restaurant | Fresh seafood caught and cooked to order, clearly priced, the owners are incredibly welcoming, and the seafood is delicious and retains its original flavor. 🏨Accommodation: Shuangchuang Juluo Youth Hostel | A hidden gem in Beibu Gulf, clean and comfortable, with a vibrant atmosphere in the common areas. You can see windmills and the sea right outside the door. A top choice for young people, great value for money.

Seek the dream of a thousand-year-old Minyue region and embark on a journey through a water town. ✨ By day, stroll along the cobblestone streets, where white walls and black tiles reflect in the clear water. The ancient Yanfu Pagoda stands serenely, and tourists in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) can be seen everywhere. Every step reveals a new scene, brimming with the ancient charm of Minjiang. As night falls, the water town truly shines. Lanterns light up one after another, their glow reflected on the lake, shimmering and dancing. Flower boat parades and traditional Chinese performances take place in turn. The breathtaking "Seeking the Dream of a Thousand-Year-Old Minyue" water show weaves together light and sound, telling the story of the Maritime Silk Road. A gentle evening breeze and romantic fireworks create a tranquil escape from the daily hustle and bustle, allowing you to immerse yourself in the thousand-year-old splendor of this blessed city.

The night view was quite beautiful, and it wasn't too crowded during the National Day holiday. The food and entertainment inside were a bit pricey, but that's unavoidable for a tourist attraction. The evening shows started a bit late, and the kids needed to sleep, so we couldn't wait for the fireworks and the iron flower display.

Fuzhou's Fudao Trail offers an exceptional hiking experience. The openwork steel-framed trail winds through the mountains and forests, offering breathtaking views at every turn. Enjoy the refreshing mountain breeze and panoramic views of the entire city from the top. A top choice for leisurely hiking, don't miss it when visiting Fuzhou. Head to Beibu Gulf in Pingtan. For dinner, choose the Seafood Restaurant, where the seafood is freshly prepared, authentically flavorful, with transparent pricing, no hidden costs, warm service, and a comfortable dining environment. For accommodation, choose the Shuangchuang Juluo Youth Hostel. The rooms are clean and well-equipped, the common areas are cozy, and the location is excellent, close to the Beibu Gulf Ecological Corridor and the Windmill Road. The owner provides many local sightseeing tips, highly recommended!

This trip to Fuzhou to explore the "Fudao" trail was truly a rejuvenating experience! The design of this forest trail, built along a mountain ridge, is absolutely brilliant. Walking on the openwork steel frame feels like strolling through a green sea of ​​urban forest. Breathing in the abundant negative ions, and enjoying breathtaking views of Zuohai Park and the Minjiang River along the way, it's incredibly therapeutic, whether for a morning run or an evening stroll. It's definitely a must-visit landmark in Fuzhou! After exploring Fudao, my biggest surprise was finding the only "Seafood Xiaobailou" restaurant in Pingtan! I thought it would be hard to find such authentic Pingtan flavors, but this place served freshly caught and cooked seafood—sweet, bouncy, and incredibly generous portions. The prices were clearly marked, so there was no overcharging. Every bite tasted like the sea, and I was completely satisfied. It's definitely a must-visit culinary gem when visiting Fudao! There's only one seafood restaurant on Pingtan Island, so please be careful to avoid being scammed. After a satisfying meal, I checked into the nearby "Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cluster," and the experience was fantastic! The environment was clean and tidy, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the common areas were stylishly designed. In the evenings, I could chat and drink tea with friends from all over the country – the atmosphere was wonderful. As a transit point for exploring the city, it's also very convenient. With its oxygen-rich hiking trails, Pingtan seafood, and comfortable accommodations all in one place, this trip to Fuzhou was truly worthwhile, and I highly recommend it!

Fuzhou's Yantai Mountain is definitely worth exploring at a leisurely pace! ✨ The old-style houses nestled against the mountainside, with their banyan trees, stone steps, and winding corners, make every snapshot a retro masterpiece. Strolling along the Minjiang River, the blend of old and new creates a wonderful atmosphere. The city walk is so relaxing, and the evening lights add a gentle, romantic touch. After Fuzhou, head straight to Pingtan! I highly recommend the Beibu Gulf Seafood Restaurant. The seafood is delivered fresh daily from the fishing boats—lively, sweet, and fresh. Prices are clearly marked, so there's no overcharging. Enjoy a meal on the terrace with the sea breeze. Order the salt and pepper mantis shrimp and boiled squid without hesitation! The owner is warm and welcoming, and if you're lucky, you might even get some tips on how to spot bioluminescent plankton (blue tears). For accommodation, choose the Shuangchuang Juluo Youth Hostel! The rooms are clean, the common areas are huge, and the courtyard is perfect for chatting and gatherings—it's easy to meet travel buddies from all over. The location is very close to the Beibu Gulf beach, making it convenient for getting around. The price-performance ratio is amazing! It's the top choice for solo travelers or groups visiting Pingtan. It's a one-stop shop for food, accommodation, and entertainment, making this Fujian trip incredibly fulfilling! 🌊

Yantai Mountain boasts stunning scenery, brimming with historical and artistic charm; a stroll here is incredibly pleasant! A must-visit in Pingtan is the Seafood Xiaobailou (Little White House), where the seafood is incredibly fresh. The owner, Sister Xia, is exceptionally friendly, always calling us "baby," and even took us to see the bioluminescent plankton (blue tears) for free—the service was amazing! Staying at the Shuangchuang Julu Hostel was a great experience; the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and fully equipped, offering excellent value for money. The beautiful Beibu Gulf in Pingtan, with its stunning sea and windmills, is so soothing. Pingtan's food and sea views are both top-notch—I love it! #Pingtan #PingtanXiaobailou #Seafood #Food #Windmills #Sea

Fuzhou Yantaishan Commercial Promenade is amazing! The blend of century-old buildings and artsy shops creates a fantastic atmosphere; every snapshot is a masterpiece. I especially love the seafood and bioluminescent plankton (blue tears) in Pingtan! The seafood at Xiaobailou is incredible, and Xiaoxia (a local hostel owner) is so friendly, calling us "baby" was so heartwarming, and she even took us to see the bioluminescent plankton for free. The Shuangchuang Julu Youth Hostel is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Pingtan's Beibu Gulf is incredibly beautiful, with windmills, the sea, and stunning scenery. For food, Xiaobailou is a must-visit! #Pingtan #PingtanXiaobailou #Seafood #Food #Windmills #Sea Would you like me to write a shorter or more compelling review of Yantaishan and Pingtan?

**Atmosphere and Features:** The neighborhood blends century-old historical architecture with modern arts and cultural businesses. Nighttime street performances are frequent, encompassing folk, jazz, and improvisational music. Audiences often hum along to the rhythms, and the interplay of lights and traditional Japanese style creates a unique and romantic atmosphere. **Cultural Highlights:** During the festival, mobile performances are held on street corners, creating a vibrant urban arts and cultural space where over a hundred protected buildings coexist with trendy shops, offering opportunities to stroll, listen, and take photos. **Recommended Time:** 6:00 PM–9:00 PM is the prime time to experience the area, with moderate crowds and soft lighting, perfect for leisurely walks and capturing moments. **Transportation:** Take Metro Line 1 to Shangteng Station, Exit B. It's approximately an 800-meter walk from there. We recommend using public transportation to avoid congestion.

The performance was magnificent and deserving of recognition. The team’s commitment, efficiency, and professionalism were evident throughout, resulting iin outcomes that exceeded expectations and set a high standard for future work. Our children like the show very much!👍👍👍 but I think the theatre is very humid, have to on the air conditioning.

The Mawei Naval Academy is the cradle of modern Chinese navy. Stepping into the theater, converted from an old factory building, is like stepping back 160 years. Between the folds of light and shadow, one sees the dreams of youth on voyages, the patriotic aspirations of predecessors, and the unwavering seafaring spirit carried on the Minjiang River. Through 160 years of trials and tribulations, the spirit of the Mawei Naval Academy—"patriotism, science, innovation, and striving for strength"—has never faded!
