20220117 evening:
1. "Yonghe Fish Balls" is located in "Three Lanes and Seven Alleys". Three Lanes and Seven Alleys is a famous old street in Fuzhou. The Ming and Qing architectural complexes are well-known throughout the country. It is one of the "Top Ten Historical and Cultural Streets in China". It is known as the "Living Fossil of the Chinese Urban Lane System" and the "Ming and Qing Architecture Museum". It integrates humanities and food. There are many high-end shops. It is an excellent place for shopping, learning, and walking. In history, there are many celebrities such as Lin Zexu, Shen Baozhen, Yan Fu, Sa Zhenbing, Lin Juemin, Lin Huiyin, Yu Dafu, Chen Jiliang, Bing Xin, etc. There are many well-preserved celebrity residences. The entire ancient city area consists of three lanes ("Yijin Lane", "Wenru Lane", "Guanglu Lane") and seven lanes ("Yangqiao Lane", "Langguan Lane", "Anmin Lane", "Huang Lane", "Ta Lane", "Gong Lane", "Anbi Lane"), which is an open scenic area with free admission.
①Address: No. 139, Nanhou Street, Gulou District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.
② Transportation: Direct bus access, easy parking by car.
③ Peak season: None.
④ Duration: 1 day.
⑤ Notes: Many buildings are open only during the day, so it is recommended to visit the cultural scene during the day and the night market at night.
2. The block was first built in the Jin Dynasty. Wang Shenzhi, the King of Min in the Tang Dynasty, built Luocheng. The prototype of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys was already there, and it reached its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the restoration of the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys in 2006, the houses were used for exhibitions of celebrity residences, related cultural introductions, and shops. However, I always went there at night, and many buildings were closed, so the cultural content will be collected later when I go there during the day.
3. Food and drink: After all, Sanfang Qixiang is Fuzhou's business card to the outside world. The catering shops are mid-to-high-end, different from the messy food carts and stalls in ordinary night markets. There are many time-honored brands and intangible cultural heritage snacks, which are mainly concentrated on the north-south main street "Nanhou Street". The more famous ones are:
① Yonghe Fish Balls: Fuzhou famous food, the oldest fish ball brand in Fuzhou area, founded in the sixth year of the Republic of China (1917), is a Chinese time-honored brand, and the fish ball making technique is an intangible cultural heritage of Fujian Province. The founder is Liu Erdi, also known as Liu Bisong. The store is two-story. The second floor is quite stuffy in summer, but the walls and dining tables are densely covered with old photos of Yonghe Fish Balls and honorary awards. The atmosphere is strong, and even the tableware has logos. You can eat in the store or buy it home and cook it yourself. I ordered one to try, and it tasted delicious.
