General presentation
Fuzhou
The lettering districts, temples, hills and banians form a provincial capital that is oriented towards the Min estuary.
To understand what Fuzhou is, you must look to the side of Three Streets and Seven Allies, Yongquan Temple and Fujian Museum. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the big city, urban life, heritage and mountain reliefs and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Place indismissible
Trois Ruelles et Sept Allées
This area preserves residences, family halls and alleys linked to the elites of Fuzhou The main axes are commercial, but the courtyards-museums show the historical depth of the fabric. The beginning of the day usually offers more calm.
Temple
Temple Yongquan
Yongquan is a large Buddhist monastery located on the slopes of the Tambour Mountain. Library, statues and courtyards require a respectful visit away from the only viewpoints. Architectural details are better discovered without haste.
Museum
Musée du Fujian
The museum presents marine cultures, archaeology and minorities of the Fujian mountains. Its collections give landmarks before Quanzhou, the tulou and the coastal ports. Architectural details are better discovered without haste.
Place indismissible
Parc du lac de l'Ouest
This ancient urban lake is lined with gardens and connected to the provincial museum. In the morning shows exercises, music and daily uses under the banians. Tides, wind and season significantly alter the experience.
