Three Mountains and One Lake

Fuzhou acquired the name Three Mountains more than a century ago when the city's territory was expanded to include the mountains of Ping, Wu and Yu. The mountains, together with the Min River running through the city, have become Fuzhou's signature features. Take a leisurely stroll on the hills or along the river, and the tranquil scenery will recall a Chinese calligraphy painting.

Fuzhou is a major hub for Buddhism worship and events. The Drum Mountain, which is home to the famous Yongquan Temple, is a destination not only for Buddhists; visitors are impressed by the beauty and serenity of the place. On the mountaintop are gigantic flat rock formations that rumble like a drum whenever there's a thunderstorm.
