condchick Says: This is an extraordinary active Buddhist Temple grounds. After being in the bustle of modern China, this is a step back into a truly peaceful, serene setting. The grounds are quite extensive, comparable to the size of a University. There are many buildings to duck in,...
condchick Says: For 3RMB, or roughly .43 cents US, you can tour this wonderful Temple. It's on the smaller side, but the grounds are nicely maintained and it's very peaceful. The Temple was built around 964AD and is claimed to be the oldest surviving wooden structure in China. Carbon dating...
vincentf Says: This West Lake is very much similar to other 'West Lakes' that dot the Chinese countryside such as in Hangzhou.
kimberbakos Says: Pingshan Park has monkeys in it. But unlike the US where they would be in cages, they are loose in the park. We didn't know this until two of them dropped from the trees, grabbed my son's arms, and played tug-of-war with him. It was definately a unique experience! One of...
kimberbakos Says: Don't miss the White Pagoda on Yu Hill. It is 1000 years old, seven layer high, octagonal in shape, and measures 45 meters. The view of Fuzhou from the top is spectacular.
kimberbakos Says: In the center of the city is Yu Hill. It covers 11.9 hectares. It is here that legend says the Taoism began. There are caves and temples on the hill, and over 100 stone inscriptions. When we got there, the amphitheatre was full and there was a performance of Peking Opera...
kimberbakos Says: West Lake Park is the prettiest place that we visited in Fuzhou. There is a small price for admission. There are gorgeous gardens and flower displays everywhere, some amusement park rides, a lake with boat rentals, and more stuff that we didn't even get to. The "Wonders of...
kimberbakos Says: The panda zoo in Fuzhou, known as Panda World, is a great place to see the animal that represents China to the rest of the world. They perform numerous times daily, as to the bears. There are also the smaller red pandas there, too. We enjoyed the panda zoo and the guide we...
1 Review and 10 Opinions $90 US dollars a night HUGE rooms - 2 double beds, loveseat, 2 chairs, dresser and desk, plenty of...
1 Review and 4 Opinions A 5-star hotel located in the central part of Fuzhou. The hotel water is pumped with hot spring...
kimberbakos Says: Dicos was like the Chinese version of KFC. It is where my newly adopted son had his first taste of french fried and ketchup - a huge hit, and Coke - he thought the bubbles were there to kill him!! The one we went to had a play area for the kids which was great after a long...
Try the famous 'Buddhist Jumping Over the Wall'
vincentf Says: This is a local delicacy known in Fujian province. However, I had my first hand taste in Fuzhou. It is NOT the same as prepared in Hong Kong. This soup is not made of expensive food items such as scallops, shark fins and abalone.
kimberbakos Says: We ate a very nice, elegant local restuarant that is famous for it's dumplings. Of course, we didn't know that and didn't order any! The waitresses were in beautiful cheongsans, the waiters in tuxes. Be sure to bring a camera to take photos of the guy pouring tea. We missed...
McDonald's: Mickey D's can't be missed!
kimberbakos Says: Doesn't need description! The best thing was the unique China themed toys that were sale for the kids. Where else can you get Hello Kitty dress in a cheongsan? Ice cream, a rare find in China, really hit the spot after a hot day of touring the city. There are locations all...
Lakeside Dining Room: Best buffet in town
kimberbakos Says: The hotel restaurant has some of the best food in town. The breakfast buffet was great, except for no syrup for the pancakes. Eggs made to order, lots of American and Asian choices. The dinner buffet also was terrific. The cauliflower is the best I ever had. The orange juice...
Shanghai Restaurant, Fuzhou: Shanghai Restaurant, Fuzhou
kimberbakos Says: The price was great. Three adults and three kids ate for about 200 yuan. We got dessert, beer, as well as the entrees above. We had the best dinner here. We ordered a beef dish, like our steak, a chicken dish, a seafood dish, as well as rice and veggies. Nothing was in...
Helpfulness
Main railway station for Fuzhou. We arrived here from a 5-hour train ride from Wuyishan, Fujian Province.

The street/alley that is behind the Lakeside Hotel has a great open air market where there is a little of everything for sale. Be sure to have a calculator with you to bargain-I never paid more than half what they were asking.
What to buy: I bought kids clothes and shoes. If I hadn't been loaded with the baby and diaper bag, I would have tried on some of the adult clothes and shoes, too. It looked like great deals on all of the stuff.
What to pay: $2-3 for a pair of shoes (kids), $5 for 2 piece outfits for kids.

kimberbakos Says: In some areas of China, and Fujian province is one of those places, you will attract attention if you aren't Asian. This is great example of the stares that you will quickly become accustomed to.
kimberbakos Says: Regardless of what religion you espouse, it is alway interesting to see how the local religion is practiced. We went to a Buddhist temple complex, with many temples and Buddhas throughout. But what most impressed me was all the incense being burnt, and how the wonderful...
Short sleeves and shorts WILL attract stares
kimberbakos Says: As in much of China, the people of Fuzhou dress warmly in the "winter". When we were there in January, the weather was in the 60's, sometimes 70's, but the people were dressed in winter coats and many layers. We thought it was warm and wore short and attracted attention....
Near the panda zoo is the stone market that sells amazing carvings from Shoshan stone, which is only found in Fujian province. It is a stone that comes in many colors with marble-like streaks. The carvings are very intricate. I bought chops for my husband and son there and we got to watch the carver at work.

We spent nine days in the beautiful city of Fuzhou, in Fujian Province in Southern China. This is the capital city of Fujian Province, which is why we were there. It is the city in which all adoptions...
Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China
Fuzhou, is the largest city in Fujian Province. It is also the provincial capital. There are not many 'must see' places here, in my opinion. West Lake Park is the main city park for Fuzhou.
A Modern City with 2200 years old history
Fuzhou,meaning lucky city,is the capital of Fujian province.I have been staying here for 20 years now.
Fuzhou in northern Fujian Province is a standard industrial Chinese city. There really isn't much that is unique to this city. As in most Chinese cities, they'll be at least one statue of Mao-tse...
