🌈 5 Super Practical Travel Tips
🌈Transportation: Subway Line 1 covers Sanfang Qixiang and Shangxiahang. Shared e-bikes are more convenient (pay attention to no-parking zones).
🌈Food: Must-try Laohua, taro paste, and Guo Bian Hu. Daming Food Street is good for late-night snacks. Student Street offers better value.
🌈Sun Protection: Fuzhou is hot and humid in summer. Bring a parasol + small fan. Stay hydrated on Fudao as there is no shade.
🌈Avoid: Be cautious of "flower tea tasting" in Sanfang Qixiang. Rickshaw drivers in Shangxiahang may try to upsell you on shopping.
🌈Night View: Min River Night Cruise is an option (tickets: CNY 100), or take a free walk along the river to see the lights on both sides.
