Fuzhou Travel Guide
Fuzhou is a city deeply intertwined with the passage of time. History has left its vibrant mark here, evident in the sprawling banyan trees that have withstood centuries of change. Their twisted branches stretch skyward, casting cool, dappled shadows where locals gather to relax and chat, under trees that have witnessed the city’s evolution.
Walking on the stone-paved roads of Sanfang Qixiang (Three Lanes and Seven Alleys), you can see time’s imprint in the intricately carved window lattices and the austere yet dignified saddle walls. Climbing up Luoxing Tower offers a panoramic view of the Min River flowing steadily below, with seabirds gliding across the sky, narrating the legend of the “Chinese Tower.” On Gushan Mountain, the ancient Yongquan Temple nestles deep within the forest, with its thousand-year-old heritage harmonizing with the unchanging natural beauty.
The best time to visit Fuzhou is during the autumn and winter months, from October to February, when the weather is sunny, the trees remain evergreen, and the city exudes a southern charm. This period is particularly inviting for northern visitors, offering warm sunshine and enticing hot springs. Fuzhou experiences spring rains from March to April, frequent downpours during the May to June rainy season, and occasional typhoons from July to September, making travel during these times less ideal.

Finally, we are slowly entering the off-peak season. The winter in Fuzhou can be quite damp and chilly. Before setting off, it’s a good idea to check the weather; it’s recommended to visit on sunny days for a more comfortable experience. It can feel a bit cold, so be sure to dress warmly and avoid catching a cold!
Fuzhou is really fun and delicious! I have always wanted to see the “blue tears” in Pingtan, and although I wasn’t able to see them at this time, the trip was still worthwhile because the food was great and there were plenty of fun activities! I took some popular photos and gazed at Taiwan Island. I hope to come back to see the sea again with someone special!
The “Three Lanes and Seven Alleys” is so lively during the National Day celebrations! There are so many people taking photos under the Love Tree while holding the national flag! It’s a great way to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
Traveling to Fuzhou from June to September isn’t really attractive. Locals only dare to step outside for fresh air after 5 PM. As for tourists, most of them are wandering outdoors. In the scorching heat, even the most beautiful sights lose a bit of their charm.
