The 10 Best Things to do in Fujian, China

May 18, 2021 Augustus Redeker

Fujian (Chinese: 福建; pinyin: Fújiàn; pronounced [fǔtɕjɛ̂n] ( listen)), formerly romanised as Foken, Fouken, Fukien, and Hokkien, is a province on the southeast coast of mainland China. Fujian is bordered by three provinces: Zhejiang to the north, Jiangxi to the west and Guangdong to the south, along with Taiwan 150 km to the east, across the Taiwan strait. The name Fujian came from the combination of Fuzhou and Jianzhou (a former name for Jian'ou) two cities in Fujian, during the Tang dynasty. While its population is chiefly of Han origin, it is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse provinces in China.

As part of a Viking Ocean excursion, we visited Gulangyu Island and enjoyed the scenery, Shuzhuang garden, and the piano museum. There is a cultural tradition on the island which also features mansions and impressive European style buildingd and bridges. I have numerous photos of our experience on the island.

Nanputuo Temple

Reviewed By 843KarinH843 - Shenzhen, China

Unfortunately when we visited there, it was partially under renovation, so some house have been closed for visitors. Also the access to the botanical garden was closed I’m not sure if this is because of COVID-19. A few years back when I visited the temple the first time the gate was open. I like this temple because it’s not over crowded and also the decoration is a mix between the traditional Chinese decor and a modern touch. I find it calming to go there, but in these days there is a lot of entrances procedure with health code and showing the passport.

Architectural buildings of Sanfang Qixiang and Zhuzi Workshop

Reviewed By 70ava - Beijing, China

We visited the place a couple times - daytime as well as nighttime. It is worth a few hours exploring the various open houses - some of them museums and some just amazing shops. The banyan trees, the combinations of wooden and brick buildings, the illumination and the fact that it is so clean with many English explanations makes it one of the most rewarding old style neighborhoods in China to visit.

Xihu Park of Fuzhou

Reviewed By visitf2017

Honored as the Lungs of City, Xihu Park is located on Hubin Road in the north of Fuzhou and at the foot of Wolong Mountain and it is by bar the fullest-preserved classical park of Fuzhou. It comprises three islands, i.e. Kaihua Island, Xieping Island and Yaojiao Island which are interconnected by Liudi Bridge, Feihong Bridge, Buyun Bridge and Beizha Bridge. The park has long dykes and willows in it. Walking across Buyun Bridge, one will reach the Lotus Pavilion where Lin Zexu constructed a memorial hall for Li Gang of Northern Song Dynasty. Laurel trees are planted here and Lin Zexu's study is located nearby. The tourists can enjoy lotus in summer, the fragrance of sweet osmanthus in autumn and beautiful natural landscapes all around the year. Beizha Bridge is also called Yudai Bridge which is connected to Yaojiao Island. It is the provincial exhibition center and the Provincial Museum displays as many as 100,000 exhibits. At the 140th anniversary of Lin Zexu, a statute of Lin Zexu was erected on the lawn before the Museum. It attracts continuous flows of tourists every year. Due to limited time, we accessed via the gate and visited only Kaihua Island but ignored Xieping Island and Yaojiao Island. On Kaihua Island, we visited Xianqiaoliuse, Ziwei Hall, Kaihua Temple and Wanhe Hall, which were the top eight scenes of Xihu.

Zhongshan Road Walking Street

Reviewed By patrickkU7876LZ

Stroll down the street for a lazy Sunday stroll. The road is so clean and shops nearly laid out. Fulfilled my craving for Hokkien dishes like oyster omelette, fried Mee Sua and other local delicacies. There are many indoor eateries with a wide variety of fresh seafood. After trying the first outlet there were more along the way. Great ambiance.
