Thinking about travel

After living in a city for a long time, you will not realize the beauty of this city. Fuzhou, the city where I stayed for 8 years, has always been a great place for me to study. Graduated by now. Fuzhou, also known as Rongcheng, Sanshan, Zuohai, Yecheng, and Mindu, referred to as "Rong", is the capital of Fujian Province and is located in eastern Fujian, the lower reaches of the Min River and the coastal areas. Fuzhou has a typical ancient city style, with mountains in the city, city in the mountains, and the Min River passing through the city. For more than two thousand years, Fuzhou has been influenced by the spiritual energy of the mountains. It has a calm and agile appearance, a smile that shows tranquility and peace, the ancient tune of the bluestone slabs, green mountains and lakes, the sound of ancient temple bells, and delicious food. This is the blessed state.

During my eight years in Fuzhou, I studied here, laughed here, prayed here, and felt lost here. Laugh here, cry here. Fuzhou people have a saying, you can never leave Fuzhou without wandering around. Fuzhou is a slow-paced city, a place suitable for walking slowly in the afternoon and wandering around in the streets and alleys. I think this is the charm of Fuzhou. Although it is sometimes extremely hot in summer, and even though it is one of the stoves, I still love it deeply.

Fuzhou is the capital of Fujian Province and One of the cities with the richest green landscapes in China. Fuzhou is famous for the banyan trees that line its streets and is known as the Banyan City. It is surrounded by mountains and ridges, with picturesque scenery and pure natural and pollution-free natural landscape.

However, with the increasingly accelerated urbanization process and rapid socio-economic development, forest coverage has gradually declined. Jinniu Mountain is one of the largest "green lungs" in Fuzhou.

Because it is surrounded by military sites and funeral grounds, most of Jinniu Mountain is undeveloped and not open to the public. Environmental improvement works as part of the Fudao project include the construction of a modern columbarium (Anleju) for the excavated graves, the construction of a new visitor center (Tankou Visitor Center) at the derelict mining site and the installation of a bus park The parking lot was transformed into the main entrance (West Railway Station).

There are ten entrances to the forest trail on the ground, each of which is a strong intervention into the existing urban fabric. At the West Railway Station, the existing bus parking lot was transformed into a catering center, and its landscaped roof is closely connected to the "cliff walk" next to it. The "Cliff Walk" is approximately 20 stories high, with cantilevered steps embedded into the existing cliff face, providing an exciting stroll for visitors.

The other main entrance is located in the public square of Jinniushan Stadium. There is a spiral ramp with a diameter of 24 meters, which indicates the space. Transition from urban plains to mountainous hills. At the northern end, the design of Meifeng Mountain Park also includes plans for a 30,000-square-meter commercial center.

There are many conveniences throughout the trail, such as rest pavilions, viewing platforms, observation towers and teahouses with toilets, all located on a gentle slope of no more than 1:16. As a smart trail equipped with WIFI connectivity, touch-screen information boards and visitor traffic monitors, Fudao has the potential to become a benchmark for eco-trails nationwide. I believe that in the near future, Fudao will provide Fuzhou citizens with a good place for leisure and entertainment.
