When visiting Fuzhou, one must check in at Cangshan

Ye Shengtao once described Cangshan in Fuzhou in 'Guest Language' as follows: 'In front of the warehouse, the mountain is almost a garden, a road, a cluster of flowers, a house, a coachman, all poetic. Especially endearing is the time when the evening sun is faint, and a bell tolls from the chapel, while several girls with flowered paper umbrellas walk under the shade of the trees.' These beautiful foreign-style houses, most hidden in the old Cangshan area of Yantai Mountain, Park Road, and Machang Street, not only carry the weight of history but also brew the mood of life through the years, becoming tranquil and comfortable, approachable and amiable. In front of the foreign buildings, there are three large banyan trees, lush and leafy, and from time to time, people stop and play under the trees. The Cangshan Historic and Cultural District, located on Yantai Mountain in Fuzhou, is composed of various styles of buildings such as foreign consulates, churches, and foreign firms, forming the architectural style of a 'World Architecture Museum.' Now it has also gathered a multitude of coffee bars, Japanese restaurants, bakeries, and handmade specialty products, forming a trendy and artistic street where fashion and art coexist. The old streets and alleys here are very retro, perfect for photography, and friends who like the retro and artistic style must not miss it.
