Sanfang Qixiang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
October, South Hou Street, Fuzhou
South Hou Street in Fuzhou starts from the west at Yangqiao intersection, and ends in the south at the intersection of Jibi Lane and Macau Road, with a total length of about 1000 meters. It is the central axis of the 'Three Lanes and Seven Alleys' in Fuzhou city. There are seven alleys on its east side and three lanes on its west side. It was the main commercial street from the rise of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys in Fuzhou to the Republic of China period, with merchants gathered from north to south. South Hou Street is the central axis of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. The renovated South Hou Street will be full of ancient charm, and the width of the road will reach 12 meters, including a 7-meter-wide pedestrian street. South Hou Street, which starts from Yangqiao Road and ends at Jibi Road, is only 634 meters long. It is a leisure and cultural commercial street that combines tradition and modernity. Unfortunately, the old South Hou Street and some of the surrounding buildings were demolished from 2007 to 2009, and most of the existing buildings are replicas. With the construction of the new South Hou Street, many modern businesses have also entered this ancient area.
Now it is mainly about eating and drinking, which is quite suitable for the new generation.

Shangxiahang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Shanghang Road and Xiahang Road in Taijiang and its nearby neighborhoods are commonly known as “Shuanghang”. It refers to two parallel horizontal streets from Xiaoqiaotou to Damiao Road. It was the commercial center and shipping dock of Fuzhou in the early years. "Hang" was originally derived from the "air" sound, which is the meaning of the pier. It has been the place where the tides have gathered since ancient times. There is a historical process of geographical change. In ancient times, the rivers bypassed the temples, and the upper and lower hangs were the mouths of the Jinkou. The star shifts and the hydrological changes. The original waterfront pier has gradually become the hinterland of riverside business and life with the increasing impact of land. Although Shanghang Street is slightly worn out compared with other places in Fuzhou, the people living here are so comfortable, I don’t feel that this is an old street surrounded by noisy cities around as if they still live in their own circles. Although this circle is fragile, it may not exist if it is not protected, but only one day, they will live in peace and harmony.

📃Tips
🔶Pingtan Island is the city with the highest frequency of blue tears in China, with the peak season from April to June, generally starting after 7 pm, and most often occurring in the early morning. Locations where blue tears appear: Changjiang'ao, Jingsha, Longwangtou, Dongmeicun, Tannan Bay, etc. You can follow the 'Changyou Pingtan' mini program or 'Pingtan Blue Tears' gzh to check the forecast in advance. However, chasing blue tears is still a matter of luck, and I hope everyone gets their wish~
🔶The attractions in Pingtan are quite far apart, so it's more convenient to drive. Be sure to pay attention to the weather when you come to Pingtan Island, as it's only beautiful on sunny days~
🔶To reach the top of Qidacun Flag Peak, you can choose to walk up the mountain or start climbing. Walking up the mountain requires climbing 1800 steps from Qidacun; we drove up the mountain, navigated to Baiyun Temple, and tried to park the car as high as possible to save a lot of walking.
🔶For the Fuzhou Trail, it is recommended to enter from entrance 3 and exit from entrance 5. If you don't want to take the roundabout path, you can also go directly up the stairs to the top, which looks very nice when the lights are on at night.
The upcoming Fuzhou can be called the ceiling of domestic travel
Fuzhou is definitely the most stunning city on my travel journey! It's a dual paradise for photographers and foodies! 🍃
It's very suitable for city walks, and the slow pace of life is really comfortable~
You can finish touring the Fuzhou city area in just one day

🔶 Xichan Ancient Temple:
With a history of over 1000 years, the Mahavira Hall inside is very spectacular, with six floors. The most shocking is the Arhat Hall, which has 500 Arhats
🔶 Sanfang Qixiang:
Known as 'half of the modern history of China,' all kinds of surprises are hidden in the alleys, it's really worth wandering slowly, remember to take a photo at the exploding 🔥 heart-shaped tree!

There's a 'I ❤️ Fuzhou' check-in spot, and many other popular photo spots, it's one of the must-photograph locations in Fuzhou~ Take a few pictures and you can head to the next stop~

Opposite Fuzhou Street is Youth Plaza, where there is a viewing platform to overlook Yantai Mountain and Zhongzhou Island. Using Zhongzhou Island as a background, the photos really look like they're taken abroad!

Yantai Mountain is the artistic real estate of Fuzhou, with many interesting handicraft shops, and when you're tired, you can find a coffee shop ☕️ to take a break

The scenery is absolutely no less than abroad 😭
It can be said that it must have a place among the niche tourist attractions in China
There are hardly any people now, and the number of tourists is super low
The key point is that this is not a photo deception‼️
The reality feels even more beautiful than the pictures
.

1️⃣Navigate directly to 'Qiguanding', there is a large stone monument at the foot of the mountain, next to which is the path to climb the mountain, it takes about 40 minutes to reach the top, simple and effective
2️⃣After navigating to Qiguanding, continue driving upwards, there are mountain roads and dirt roads, keep driving to the city wall arch. Then start walking for 20 minutes. (It is recommended to climb the mountain directly using the first method)
3️⃣The stranded boat in Ha Sha Village
The recently popular shipwreck spot
Lianjiang's version of 'Bruwes'

Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
There are very few hotels near Qida Village, I personally pay more attention to hygiene and comfort, so I chose a nearby star-rated sea view hotel (it is a floor-to-ceiling window sea view room, you can see the sunrise when you wake up in the morning and open the curtains.
Just walk a few dozen meters downstairs to reach the beach, it's very quiet and comfortable. There is a seafood restaurant in the scenic area that is affiliated with the hotel, the prices are very reasonable, you can go there with confidence!

🌟Travel Tips
1️⃣For photography, you must choose a good weather, so you can see the blue sea. If it's cloudy and foggy, you won't be able to capture anything
2️⃣It is definitely recommended to drive by yourself, as transportation is really inconvenient, and it's hard to get a taxi in remote areas
3️⃣The top of the mountain is quite steep, so be sure to pay attention to safety when taking photos, as many places do not have railings, so be careful
Fuzhou | Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful
| Qida Village, the Fujian version of Rio de Janeiro is truly beautiful.📍Located at Qiguan Top, Qida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City
📍Free
❇️Ways to go up the mountain
1⃣️At the foot of the mountain, park for free at the Qiguan Top stone stele, then climb 1800 steps up the mountain
✅Suitable for young people with good physical strength, take photos while climbing, and you can encounter more surprises
2️⃣Carpool or take a motorcycle taxi near the mountain entrance, the price is about 20-50, especially taking a motorcycle taxi, which can save time queuing up the mountain during peak hours
✅Motorcycle taxis are more suitable for 1-2 people going up the mountain together, not cost-effective for more people, and it doesn't look very safe
3️⃣Drive to the bottom of the Qiguan Top wall
✅After taking a motorcycle taxi or driving to the wall, you need to walk along a low wall similar to the Great Wall for more than 1 kilometer to reach the Jiuxian Jun Temple, climb up the small dirt slope on the right side of the temple, walk a short distance forward and you will encounter steps, walk down the steps, the pavilion and red wishing plaques are the popular photo spots, walking up leads to a broader view
✅Driving up the mountain, the mountain road has eighteen bends, not easy to navigate, the last 1 kilometer to the wall is a dirt road with stones, bumpy, and difficult for cars with low chassis
✅Self-driving during peak times will encounter 4 or 5 vehicle control points, vehicles have to queue up to go up the mountain, and only when cars come down can an equivalent number of cars go up, the waiting time is very long (but once you get up there, you'll find that there aren't so many cars that a few more couldn't be accommodated)
‼️Tips‼️
▶️Be sure to go on a sunny day❗The mountain roads are difficult in rainy weather and the photo effects are much worse❗
▶️The popular photo spot is located on the edge of a cliff, be cautious⚠️ and ensure safety, those who are afraid of heights (like myself) are advised not to get too close, it's not necessary to take the risk, but personal safety is a must
▶️Whether at the foot of the mountain, halfway up, or at the top, parking is free🅿️, during holidays and peak times, besides taking a motorcycle taxi, the time spent driving around the mountain (including traffic control queuing) and walking up the stairs feels about the same
▶️When you reach the control point in front of the Guanyin Temple, do not listen to the security guard and park on the spot, the 1 kilometer-plus mountain road is not long, but the dust is particularly heavy,
when other vehicles pass by, pedestrians can get a mouthful of dust, be sure to drive to the bottom of the wall (the arch in the upper right corner of picture 5)
▶️Naturally, the prices on the mountain are higher than at the foot of the mountain (e.g., tea eggs 4 yuan each, grilled sausages 10 yuan each), you can bring a small amount of water and snacks (there's not much to do at the top of the mountain, 1-2 hours for taking photos and resting is enough)
▶️The wind is strong on the mountain and it's sunny, be prepared for wind, sun protection, and insect prevention
🍳Food recommendations:
1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes, the seafood beef hotpot in the hotel is also great.
Accommodation in Qida Village
Dinghai Bay Ruolin Hotel
There are few hotels near Qida Village, for a family trip, this time we chose a nearby high-end sea view hotel (it has floor-to-ceiling windows + sea view rooms, wake up in the morning and open the curtains to see the sunrise).

❇️Ways to go up the mountain
1⃣️At the foot of the mountain, park for free at the Qiguan Top stone stele, then climb 1800 steps up the mountain
✅Suitable for young people with good physical strength, take photos while climbing, and you can encounter more surprises
2️⃣Carpool or take a motorcycle taxi near the mountain entrance, the price is about 20-50, especially taking a motorcycle taxi, which can save time queuing up the mountain during peak hours
✅Motorcycle taxis are more suitable for 1-2 people going up the mountain together, not cost-effective for more people, and it doesn't look very safe
3️⃣Drive to the bottom of the Qiguan Top wall
✅After taking a motorcycle taxi or driving to the wall, you need to walk along a low wall similar to the Great Wall for more than 1 kilometer to reach the Jiuxian Jun Temple, climb up the small dirt slope on the right side of the temple, walk a short distance forward and you will encounter steps, walk down the steps, the pavilion and red wishing plaques are the popular photo spots, walking up leads to a broader view
✅Driving up the mountain, the mountain road has eighteen bends, not easy to navigate, the last 1 kilometer to the wall is a dirt road with stones, bumpy, and difficult for cars with low chassis
✅Self-driving during peak times will encounter 4 or 5 vehicle control points, vehicles have to queue up to go up the mountain, and only when cars come down can an equivalent number of cars go up, the waiting time is very long (but once you get up there, you'll find that there aren't so many cars that a few more couldn't be accommodated)
‼️Tips‼️
▶️Be sure to go on a sunny day❗The mountain roads are difficult in rainy weather and the photo effects are much worse❗
▶️The popular photo spot is located on the edge of a cliff, be cautious⚠️ and ensure safety, those who are afraid of heights (like myself) are advised not to get too close, it's not necessary to take the risk, but personal safety is a must
▶️Whether at the foot of the mountain, halfway up, or at the top, parking is free🅿️, during holidays and peak times, besides taking a motorcycle taxi, the time spent driving around the mountain (including traffic control queuing) and walking up the stairs feels about the same
▶️When you reach the control point in front of the Guanyin Temple, do not listen to the security guard and park on the spot, the 1 kilometer-plus mountain road is not long, but the dust is particularly heavy,
when other vehicles pass by, pedestrians can get a mouthful of dust, be sure to drive to the bottom of the wall (the arch in the upper right corner of picture 5)
▶️Naturally, the prices on the mountain are higher than at the foot of the mountain (e.g., tea eggs 4 yuan each, grilled sausages 10 yuan each), you can bring a small amount of water and snacks (there's not much to do at the top of the mountain, 1-2 hours for taking photos and resting is enough)
▶️The wind is strong on the mountain and it's sunny, be prepared for wind, sun protection, and insect prevention
🍳Food recommendations:
1⃣️Fish noodles, fish balls, oyster pancakes, the seafood beef hotpot in the hotel is also great.

Chida Village, Fuzhou - The City of Sky in the Human World
🏖️ Known as the 'Little Rio de Janeiro'. 🗽
According to an old man in the fishing village 👴, four years ago, it was a little-known dilapidated fishing village 🎎. Now, four years later, it has become explosively popular 🔥 for its view from the top of Qiguandian, which resembles Rio de Janeiro, and has become one of the hot tourist spots in Fuzhou! 🔥🗽
📍Address: Chida Village, Lianjiang County, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province 🎫Ticket: Free🆓
🚇Transportation:
Take the high-speed train 🚝 from Fuzhou Station to Lianjiang Station, the ticket costs 12 yuan
From Lianjiang Station 🚝, you can take a taxi to Minyun Lianjiang Passenger Transport East Station for about 10 yuan, and then purchase a bus ticket to Chida Village 🚌

Departure times: 7:30, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 (after 12:00, buses depart every 1h, ⚠️the last bus is at 4:00 PM)
🚕By taxi, after exiting Minyun Lianjiang Passenger Transport East Station, there are many taxis at the entrance offering rides to Chida Village. If you share a taxi, it costs about 30 yuan per person, and you can bargain if there are more people 💰
🚶To climb to the top of Qiguandian, there are 1800 steps in total. Starting from a large stele at the foot of the mountain, it takes about 1h to reach the top. It's advisable to bring a bottle of water and some bread for sustenance. Water is also sold halfway up the mountain, and there is a public toilet.
🚗For the first half of the ascent to Qiguandian, there is a winding road up the side of the mountain. If you're driving, you can navigate directly to Baiyun Temple. After a ten-minute drive, you'll reach a parking lot halfway up the mountain. Get out of the car, pass through the stone archway, and there's a path like the Great Wall. A 25-minute walk will get you there 😍😍😍
If you're not driving but still want to take a vehicle up the mountain, there are many taxis at the foot of the mountain. Just ask for the price, and generally, sharing a taxi to the halfway point costs about 20 yuan per person.
⚠️Please be careful when taking photos 😶
