Shangxiahang

Shanghang Road and Xiahang Road in Taijiang and its nearby neighborhoods are commonly known as “Shuanghang”. It refers to two parallel horizontal streets from Xiaoqiaotou to Damiao Road. It was the commercial center and shipping dock of Fuzhou in the early years. "Hang" was originally derived from the "air" sound, which is the meaning of the pier. It has been the place where the tides have gathered since ancient times. There is a historical process of geographical change. In ancient times, the rivers bypassed the temples, and the upper and lower hangs were the mouths of the Jinkou. The star shifts and the hydrological changes. The original waterfront pier has gradually become the hinterland of riverside business and life with the increasing impact of land. Although Shanghang Street is slightly worn out compared with other places in Fuzhou, the people living here are so comfortable, I don’t feel that this is an old street surrounded by noisy cities around as if they still live in their own circles. Although this circle is fragile, it may not exist if it is not protected, but only one day, they will live in peace and harmony.

Shangxiahang used to be the CBD where Fuzhou merchants, business groups, and guild halls were concentrated. It still retains the original style of residential buildings, wooden buildings along the river, and modern buildings deep in the streets, all of which are very beautiful, reminiscent of the old streets of Kunming. 🚇Transportation: Metro Line 1 Dadao Station, Exit C ⌚️Opening Hours: All day 🎫Admission: Free 🕒Recommended Visiting Time: 2-3h 🔘The red wall at the entrance: The combination of red walls and yellow flowers is truly breathtaking, making it impossible to move on, a signature spring romance of Shangxiahang. 🔘Compared to the bustling and crowded Sanfang Qixiang, I prefer the leisurely strolls in Shangxiahang, where there are significantly fewer people. If time permits, you can visit the ancient Gutian Assembly Hall at the end of the street, which closes at 17:00. Shangxiahang

Fuzhou's Shangxiahang is very similar to the small towns in the Jiangnan area, which used to thrive due to its waterway advantages, becoming a district crowded with merchants and famous shops. The surrounding buildings are all wooden structures with gray bricks and black tiles, and horse-head walls, exuding the charm of Southern Fujian. Walking further in, suddenly there's a hubbub of voices, and it's extremely crowded ! It turns out to be a restaurant named 'Broken Shop' offering porridge as a gesture of respect to the elderly . Seeing that even strong, able-bodied middle-aged people are scrambling for porridge, I can't help but chuckle This restaurant must have good karma; although 'broken', it probably won't go 'bankrupt' ! ⏳Playtime: Half an hour

If you don't want to take the roundabout path, you can also go directly up the stairs to the top, which looks very nice when the lights are on at night.

I have been to Fuzhou before and visited the Sanfang Qixiang, so I didn't go there this time. We first went to Yantai Mountain Park, which is more of a small hill than a mountain, which is good news for those who don't like climbing. Overall, there's nothing special, it's just a park on a hillside. There's no need to make a special trip to check in. The next attraction we visited was the Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural District, where we enjoyed some food and drinks. Overall, it's much better than Yantai Mountain Park and worth a visit. For accommodation, we stayed at the Yinmo Light Luxury Hotel (Minhou University Town branch) in the evening. The interior decoration is new and quite nice, and the price is relatively cheap. However, the rooms are very close to each other, and the soundproofing is very poor. Children were running around in the corridor in the middle of the night, and the voices from other rooms could be heard. It was difficult to fall asleep at night, so I would not recommend it for those who have trouble sleeping.
