Fu Dao 福道

March 1, 2025

Today’s highlight was undoubtedly my hike on Fu Dao (福道), one of the most scenic urban trails in Fuzhou and often hailed as “China’s most beautiful city forest walkway.” Stretching approximately 19 kilometers, this elevated steel skywalk winds through various city parks, seamlessly integrating nature with urban life. I took the 5-kilometer classic route, and the panoramic city views along the way were absolutely breathtaking. The Fu Dao design and construction were impressive.

After the hike, I headed to Shangxiahang (上下杭), similar to three lanes and seven alleys, another historical district in Fuzhou, known for its well-preserved traditional architecture, old merchant houses, and charming riverside scenery. I had lunch there—the food was good, but I ordered too much and couldn’t finish everything.

Next, I visited Yantai Mountain Park (烟台山公园) and its historic streets, but the overwhelming crowds made the experience less enjoyable. The area has a rich history, but I found it difficult to appreciate with so many people around.

Later in the day, I crossed a bridge over the Min River (闽江) and called a Didi to Gushan Shibajing Park (鼓山十八景公园), hoping to catch the sunset. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, and the summit was packed with visitors. I spent only a few minutes there before deciding to head back to my hotel.

I had a light dinner at a nearby restaurant and called it a day.

今天最精彩的体验无疑是徒步福道(Fu Dao),这条被誉为“全国最美城市森林步道”的福州著名城市步道。福道全长约19公里,由架空的钢结构栈道组成,穿行于多个城市公园之间,将自然与都市完美融合。我选择了经典的5公里路线,从3号口进5号口出,一路上城市的全景美不胜收,令人惊叹。这条步道确实名不虚传。

徒步结束后,我前往上下杭(Shangxiahang),这片历史街区与三坊七巷相似,以保存完好的传统建筑、古商铺以及富有韵味的沿河景观闻名。我在这里享用了午餐,食物很不错,但点得有些多,没能吃完。

接着,我前往烟台山公园(Yantai Mountain Park)及其周边历史街区。然而,人潮汹涌,使得游览体验大打折扣。尽管这里历史底蕴深厚,但在熙熙攘攘的人群中,我很难静下心来细细感受。

傍晚时分,我步行穿过闽江(Min River)上的一座桥,叫了滴滴前往鼓山十八景公园(Gushan Shibajing Park),希望能在山顶欣赏日落。然而,天气阴沉,山顶游客众多,景色并不如预期。我仅停留了几分钟,便决定返回酒店。

晚餐随意找了一家餐馆简单吃了些东西,随后便结束了这一天的行程。
