Introduction to Fuzhou West Lake Park

Although Fuzhou West Lake Park is not as famous as Hangzhou West Lake, it is still quite large and is also a famous local tourist attraction. The surrounding greenery is very good, and infrastructure and entertainment activities are actively developed here, attracting many citizens and tourists.

There is a West Lake in Fuzhou, Fujian. Like Hangzhou West Lake, it is also a free attraction and a good place for citizens and tourists to relax.

Fuzhou West Lake Park is located in the center of Fuzhou, less than 2 kilometers away from the national 5A-level scenic spot Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. You can get there by bus No. 1, No. 100, No. 54 and No. 66. Fuzhou West Lake Park is the most complete and oldest classical garden in the world. It ranks among the 36 largest West Lakes in China and is known as the "Pearl of Fujian Gardens".

Fuzhou West Lake Park has a very long history, dating back to the third year of Jin Taikang. It has a history of more than 1,700 years. This is what Gao Yan, the governor of the county, was doing when he was building the city. It was a famous tourist attraction in the late Tang Dynasty. It was the royal garden of the Ming Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. Later, Lin Zexu rebuilt the West Lake in the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, and later converted it into the West Lake Park in 1914, becoming a place for citizens to relax and entertain.

Since ancient times, Fuzhou West Lake has attracted many literati with its "Eight Scenes of West Lake". After Xin Qiji, a poet of the Song Dynasty, visited West Lake Park, he left the poem "It's a sunny day, misty rain, and the stone is not married", comparing Fuzhou West Lake to the stone when it was unmarried. It is pure, beautiful, energetic and refreshing.

Most of Fuzhou’s tourist attractions are not well-known, but if you travel to Fuzhou, you must go to West Lake Park. You have been to Hangzhou West Lake before. Many people will go to Fuzhou West Lake Park to feel whether Hangzhou West Lake is more beautiful.

Fuzhou West Lake Park covers an area of ??more than 630 acres, of which the lake area is about 450 acres. There are many bridges on the water, such as Buyun Bridge, Daiyu Bridge, Hongfei Bridge and Liudi Bridge. Connect the West Lake Park into a whole. Walking through West Lake Park, the trees are shady and the scenery is very beautiful.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were many pavilions and pavilions in the West Lake of Fuzhou. Later, these buildings were restored and rebuilt, including the West Lake Club, Jumong Sanjeong, and West Lake Academy. Decorated with pavilions, winding paths, towering ancient trees, and surrounded by water, Fuzhou West Lake Park has the charm of a Suzhou garden.

Similar to visiting West Lake in Hangzhou, the best way to visit West Lake in Fuzhou is to go boating on the lake, surrounded by rippling blue waves. The water in Fuzhou West Lake Park is very clear and the air is fresh. While boating on the lake, everyone became lazy and enjoyed the beautiful scenery here.

But to be honest, compared to Hangzhou West Lake, Fuzhou West Lake has a profound cultural heritage, but I always feel that Fuzhou West Lake lacks the charm of Hangzhou West Lake.

There is a milky white building by the lake in West Lake Park, which looks particularly beautiful and spectacular from the outside. It is the Fujian Museum. The entire building combines the style of Fujian folk houses and the decorative style of maritime culture. If you have been to West Lake Park, you can go here to see it, it is also a free attraction.

Fuzhou West Lake is also beautiful under the sunset. Photographers often come here to take pictures of the West Lake at sunset. The water of West Lake seems to reflect everything here on the water.
