Fuzhou, Capital city in Fujian, China

Located at the estuary of the Min River, Fuzhou spans across 11,968 square kilometers with mountains, rivers, and traditional architecture throughout the urban landscape.

The city transformed from Ye settlement to a significant port after the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, becoming a center for tea trade and maritime commerce.

The Fuzhou region maintains the Mindong dialect and traditions, with specialized culinary preparations including fish balls, meat pastries, and oyster dishes.

Visitors can access the city through Changle International Airport, multiple railway stations, and an extensive network of highways connecting to major Chinese cities.

The Fuzhou Navy Yard, established in 1866, marked one of China's first facilities integrating Western naval technology and scientific education systems.
