We in Fujian, this National Day holiday is destined not to go to the far away to play happily, in Fuzhou, how are you going to spend the Golden Week? Perhaps discovering the beauty around us is the most correct way to do this.
Travel, so to speak: to go to the hometown of others in the distance to enjoy the scenery that others have long been familiar with. So, Fuzhou, is it your hometown or another hometown for you? If you live in Fuzhou, then look at the beauty hidden around you from another angle; if you are moved by Fuzhou, then follow my lens to take a cloud trip first.
Speaking of Fujian, many people first think of Xiamen, in fact, this is a big misunderstanding, whether from the history of culture, or natural scenery, Fuzhou has a lot of places worth going, more need you to slow down to discover the charm of Rongcheng. This text does not take everyone to visit the three lanes and seven alleys, nor to see Gulangyu Island in Fuzhou, nor to visit the back garden - Yongtai. Let's first go to Mawei, which is very close and far away for the people of Fuzhou, the water gateway of the provincial capital.
Shipping culture, historical memory
What kind of tower can be called a "Chinese tower"? As early as the early Ming Dynasty, the Mawei Luoxing Pagoda was marked in the nautical chart and is internationally recognized as one of the important maritime navigation markers. Therefore, when foreign ships travel to this water and see the Luoxing Pagoda, they know that they have come to China. It is said that at that time, mail from all over the world could reach Mawei as long as it was written "China Tower".
The history of Luoxing Pagoda can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, and it is said that Qiniang was originally married to Liu Qilang by Li's daughter. Because her husband died when he was fighting in Fujian, the Seventh Lady heard the news and sold her property, and came to Moxin Mountain to build this stone pagoda and pray for her husband's blessing. People remembered this story and built qiniang square under the tower. Today, The Tower of Rohing Tower Park has been built because of the tower, and there is the International Seafarers Club next to the park. Climb to the heights of the park, the port terminal, and the development area under your eyes.
The most attractive element in the park is the sculpture of the ship culture. More than a century ago, in order to resist the artillery fire of the Western powers, a series of "rich countries and strong troops" campaigns such as building shipyards, building warships, and building aircraft were vigorously carried out here. Shipping culture has become an important part of Fuzhou culture and has influenced the course of Modern Chinese history.
The Minjiang River, called the Majiang River in the Mawei section, is lined with ancient forts on both sides of the river, and you can see the ancient battlefield of the Sino-French Naval Battle of the Majiang River that was filled with fireworks, and you can see the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country by hanging on to the Zhaozhong Ancestral Hall.
In the eastern foothills of Maji Mountain, a museum of ship administration culture has now been built, which is the first museum in China to focus on ship administration. Walking through the museum, there are a large number of precious cultural relics, pictures and models, which are composed of exhibition halls such as the Overview Hall, the Education Hall, the Industrial Hall and the Naval Foundation Hall. On weekends, students of all ages visit and immerse themselves in the moving stories of history textbooks.
Tianxingjian, a gentleman who strives for self-improvement. The museum became the best patriotic education base.
Step out of the museum's thick atmosphere, but don't miss the ancient street of Mawei, which is a foreigner street that many people don't know. The origin of foreigner street is that there are British consular branches, prisons, etc. here, of course, the former foreigners have long been unable to be a blessing, autumn afternoon, just right to find a place of sunshine, in the history of traveling, take a group of literary and artistic photos.
Ancient town with beautiful countryside
Down the river, take you to see the Sui and Tang ancient town on the side of the Minjiang River - Min'an.
The Sui Dynasty set up a town in Fujian, the Tang Dynasty set up an inspection department Yamen, the Song Dynasty set up a supervisor town guard, ranking first among the four major towns in Fujian, and the Ming Dynasty built the town of Yacheng, which became an important battlefield in Fujian's anti-Wu Dynasty.
The Dragon Bridge is the oldest surviving stone bridge in Fuzhou, which was built in 901 AD. There are many bridges in Fujian, but the five-hole Tang Dynasty stone bridge of the scale of the Dragon Bridge is also very rare, which has high research value for Chinese bridge culture.
There are 36 arches on the parapets on both sides of the ancient bridge deck, and at the end of each column there are exquisite stone carvings, which are praised by bridge enthusiasts as pearls on the sea.
Along the Minbai Line, there is a beautiful mountain village, which is Baimei Village.

Go, go to the horsetail to see the sea
In fact, the horsetail has a sea. In Mawei, there is Langqi Island, the fourth largest island in Fujian Province and the twenty-first largest island in China. Surrounded by rivers on three sides and facing the sea on one side, the geographical advantage of the confluence of brackish water and water makes Langqi Town famous for its seafood, and it is also interesting to catch a small sea.
The beach here is called "Golden Rooster Annunciation Beach" because there is a reef on the beach that looks like a big rooster.
When the tide recedes and the sun sets, this sea becomes a mirror of the sky, which can be said to be the nearest place for Fuzhou people to see the sea.
