In winter, Hangzhou, 1,000 kilometers south, yellow leaves into a green leaf it to Fuzhou. Although the two are both state capitals, but the ancient emperor Xunxing Fuzhou has had very little to this settled. That is, as the head of Fujian, Fuzhou, also give travelers a rare clean, small backpack on the road, no one will Lanzhe you sell maps, also give you a tour guide, and so unwanted. Remember that first impression of Fuzhou big banyan tree, and the second is the Mawei naval and third, the five trade after the Opium War. Size of the banyan tree within a species in Fujian Province was the street, a long beard-like roots hang down like the trees, the very people there want to rush to the line and a few feelings. And my impression of the latter two are related with the Minjiang River mouth, 88 from the city by car along the Minjiang River Road, came in a pony tail can be found inside the story of the modern history of secondary school textbooks.
Horsetail
I could see out of the car where the Minjiang River, Minjiang river is very wide, but the water does not seem to deep, the river sand from time to time above the surface, 32 groups of fishing boats parked in the vicinity. The other side of the road clinical Rock Hill, Block 100 meters high, from the foot to the mountain top layers of residential paved up, some of which house, and mountain seamless, old fineness may be the modern villa. But take a look at the clothes hanging out, and now probably in the public domain of the property. The mountain people can walk down the mountain road fitness, and then looked at the sun what the Minjiang River. However, if people are up and down every day, it seems there will not be so necessary. Fitness Corner has become so near the place where workers are falling in love, young girls boys when they gather in my back and forth to one.
More people working in the shipyards or the cauda equina subsidiary working inside. Cauda equina many shipyards, the largest shipyard Mawei ticket gate hung industrial tourism brand, because the security did not find a guide for us also were dropped. In fact, go a long with a large banyan tree near the hills and they can see the spectacular shipbuilding industry. Modern China's first modern shipyard in here, Tso wrote to the Governor in 1866, the Qing Fujian and Zhejiang, the Prime Minister set up in Fuzhou ship yamen political affairs, in the beginning Mawei shipbuilding machinery. Tso good intentions cherished revitalize national industry, can not feed the cauda equina caused tragic naval battle.
Hill near the Zhaozhong Ci, the enormous tomb buried over 700 soldiers of Fuzhou, the surrounding is very quiet, quiet, people were able to hear the next sound wave Fanchu pond inside, which is the most I have been to people with distinction from King of the patriotism education base. Up from the slip road beside the high-profile, five ancient cannons directed at the Minjiang River mouth. Mottled gun who identified 184X Krupp manufactured at the back. With the German artillery to bombard the French fleet, Tso failed, forts were largely destroyed after the war, and now the rest are stone base and deep ammunition depots, and the British forts at a distance of less than 50 even meters set up its own consulate. Two-story house is being repaired may be museum and so on. Consulate of the landscape in front of a large open space in a very good look at the whole Mawei City, which is the basic blocks belonging to the 20th century, 80 years China's construction area, quiet, clean and has a stone fence of the gentle slope, a few businesses inside city activity only for the service of those who live in the upstairs.
Luo Star Tower
Luo Xing tower across from me, walking about 10 minutes to reach its feet. Tower is a woman, her husband built, but its role is the man with the West Lake of the Leifeng Pagoda for the suppression of women living very different. Legends, Guangdong, and White Snake, like a beautiful fancy Liu Qiniang was tyrannical plot to seize, first framed her husband, with his hair in Fujian. Liu Qiniang faithful and unyielding, with the husband Fujian to. Unfortunately, the way a man dies, she sold the family property, on behalf of her husband to pray for Ming-fu, building a tower on this mourning.
Of course, the tower features Luo Xing is not only now, after the foreigners are also known as the Ming Dynasty tower "Chinese Tower" in their world charts, the Romanian star tower is a gateway to and from China marked the dots. Take a look at groups of people who linger in the tower, but also a black spot. Bao-Chu Chou Chou the ratio of the diameter of tower is not much rough, but grow a length of the height, I do not want to go up, and stairs must be alarming for passengers. The former defensive towers but the people in the evening every day, carrying fuel on board seven top of the tower, lit the fire station, so that rahsung tower at night can also refer to the introduction of Hong Kong sailing yacht, and I think that the tower is another name " Reaching for the Stars tower "that is resulting. A tower to have said that there are numbers, as well as the foreign names in China, may not have similar ones.
Gushan
For several days the morning, I rose out of the balcony looking glow Gushan, presumably could not hear the rain hitting the Peak, such as the sound of the drum with rocks and boulders. As a result, decided to personally look up the hill, from the city by road to reach 39 points lower house of Gushan. Dealers only 8 kilometers away, mountain away from the city very close to 1000 meters tall mountains, like the compound according to the wall blocking the corner. To the foot and then stopped the private operation of surface vehicles, money can easily spend 5 yuan to 499 meters above sea level at. Gao has not half, but concentrated most of the fun parts of Gushan.
Suddenly the road at the foot of the bifurcation, and side access to Yongquan Temple, while you can go to the whole bird's eye view of Fuzhou. Why not repair the monastery on the hillside it? It seems to me not to kill two birds in relation to the temple town. Ask the monks guarding Terakado not find the exact answer. Later, reading, said an expert in geomancy, said Yun-Feng Bai jaw to construct a temple at the "bird's nest cave", probably the land is a much more luxurious than a hillside of the place. Therefore, Yongquan to build it unique, and not reveal the whole Temple, Tibet, known as "the mountain not see Temple, into the temple but not the ridgeline do."
"Journey to the West" says that there must be every temple treasure, Yongquan Temple is no exception, not to mention it in your head for the Fuzhou Zhong Temple. Yongquan Temple as many as six baby are divided into "three empty" (Tao tower, engraving, blood upon), "3 Iron" (Tit Shu, iron pots, wire wood). Cursory to visit all temples, peers told me that you have read the four remaining "blood through the" is written with blood and engraving images of ascetics, together with possession of the shelf, there is no level is not visible The. It turned out Tao temple tower in front of the arrow break and at St. Tieshu, wire wood in the Main Hall, the iron pan in the cupboard Katsumi, if you can find what you want again. Yongquan Temple, however, can not reveal their hidden treasures to be placed at your fingertips place for visitors to view the generosity and still need to be very well-behaved. Temple on the cliff side of the Song Cai Xiang, Zhu Xi, Li Gang and contemporary Kuo Mo-jo, where Morocco and many other celebrities stone words, I do not know calligraphy only a daze looking at the mountains and the box. Many young people and I probably similar, but more like like birds stopped at a rock filled with photographs pictures of the word.
The other side of the road, you can Yuanwang city, Fuzhou, as if the entire camel, a satellite photo was flat at your feet, there is no three-dimensional feel. I saw the Minjiang River has been called the three cities in which large chunks of land are divided into counties continents of varying width of the two, they came out onto the bridge above a small telescope counted. Then suddenly found that at 3 pm, when several middle-aged people in the exercise, or just running up the hill come. Bare upper body on one side and kick one minute then slowly away. Do not know if they are not continue to go up, but really to a large Shek Kwu to the pinnacle, I am afraid at night only in the grass inside the night of. So, walk Gushan preferably tents. Slowly and savor the scenery, after a night can not hear Feng Yusheng, was able to enjoy the sunrise the East China Sea.
3 Square七巷
Fuzhou street names interesting, more for the 51 trunk road as State Highway 817 and roads like the name, I do not know what is the product of the age. The alley along the roadside, is based on the Square for the Lane to Lane for the Street. If you want to shop in the city Dong Jiekou on the line, and out of the feasting is not how far they can proceed to the Third Place Qixiang.
It is said the largest piece of ancient neighborhood. A simple point to understand, probably more than 10 narrow alley. Paved the South unique quartzite, both sides are wiped plaster walls, walls paved with gray tiles cornices, rising only see a thin sky. However, mottled walls above a large fall off a lot of marl, probably also belong to a little one to see the ancient residence of the.
Lane Square, the house and yard criss-cross is simply a huge maze. Continuing in the roadway after a tricycle with a canopy, allowing driver to switch carrying the alley. If you have seen and makes Zai Zai, you may want more than one hours. Inside walls of the many celebrities have been in the past, Bing Xin, Yan Fu, Shen Pao-chen, Deng Tuo, Zhen Dai and so on. Juan has had a 35-step "× × × house," the great stone, but often there is another side of a brand name such as "× × The commission will" and other brands. A trace of aged brick and tile cracks of the pedantic. Write a soul-stirring Jiaoren tears of "the book with his wife," Fuzhou men earn enough to face the Lin Chueh-min has been living here. Finishing a good ward, most no fees, a number of celebrities Zhaizi even the descendants of the time, or in this administration, also offering to sell their memoirs.
Fuzhou fish balls are one of the most representative of the specialty here is the Tower Lane, Yonghe do the best one. I want a bowl of fish balls and a bowl of fish soup, fish balls 5 2 yuan, 2.5 yuan fish soup. Shark meat balls is done, it is white, skateboarding, and soft but not rotten, and no fishy smell, the middle of delicious meat. Fish soup is a fish soup, fish and meat wrapped in a layer of fish paste-like foreign things, not tasty, or at least less than delicious fish balls. Little shops, a total of seven tables, but it has a lot of traffic, many of which are local people, the door to Shumenshulu to call on a bowl of fish balls or fish soup, ate it go, go faster disappear just as quickly.
Impression
Fuzhou, the impression that basically the same, but a city is not created for travelers, so no matter how to street level can only be so superficial. Moreover, there are many things that I am not very interested in, such as tiao qiang, Fuzhou dishes, clothing stores, etc. in the street kiosks. After looking at big trees inside the old wooden home and leisurely life, about 2001 times by train again, after 14 hours of arrival there will be more after the idea of Fuzhou.
