Tour Highlights

Walk the Sanfang Qixiang lanes

On the fuzhou sanfang qixiang tour you thread stone-paved lanes where scholar houses, perfumers and tea stalls still trade as they did centuries back.

Recall reform at Lin Zexu Hall

A short walk reaches the Lin Zexu Memorial, framing the fuzhou ancient alleys tour around the official who burned opium at Humen in 1839.

Climb to the Fuzhou Drum Tower

You pause at the rebuilt fuzhou drum tower, once the city timekeeper, now ringed by the busy shops of Zhonglou Road downtown.

Stroll the Min River waterfront

The fuzhou min river tour closes the day on a wide promenade of lit bridges, new towers and slow evening boat traffic on the water.

This fuzhou day tour begins with a fuzhou sanfang qixiang walk through three lanes and seven wards of timber houses, shrines and craft shops, then links a fuzhou ancient alleys tour to the Lin Zexu Memorial Hall. After a stop at the fuzhou drum tower on Zhonglou Road, the day ends along the fuzhou min river waterfront, where evening light settles over the old port. Picked up at your hotel, it packs a fuzhou one day tour of heritage, reform history and river into a relaxed pace.
