Time flies fast. With 30 years of hard work and striving forward, successive leaders of the CPC Fuzhou Municipal Committee and Fuzhou Municipal People’s Government have always adhered to the “3820” initiative, sticking to the blueprint President Xi Jinping had drawn. Fuzhou has developed with its GDP surpassing one trillion yuan, the strategy of “Strengthening the Provincial Capital” put forward by Fujian Provincial People’s Government, and the approval of the development plan of Fuzhou Metropolitan Area... Nowadays, Fuzhou, which aims to accelerate the construction of a modern international city, has become increasingly international by opening its door wider to outside world and expanding its “circle of friends”. Fuzhou has always shown the most beautiful Chinese characteristics on the international stage.

Walking past the ancient houses with white walls, dark tiles and cornices in the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, people can see the saddle wall with a graceful curve, which silently tells the legendary history of the ancient city. On July 16, 2021, the Extended 44th Session of the World Heritage Committee opened in Fuzhou, attracting the eyes of the world. The protection of old blocks and buildings has been integrated into urban development and the lives of the citizens. In lanes and allies, those renovated ancient houses have linked the past to the future, evoking the bonds of the culture and ancestry.

With its 2,200 years of history, the ancient city of Fuzhou is still in its golden year. Fuzhou, a city of culture and happiness with a long history, is opening to the world with a more confident and open mind. It will show the dynamism and momentum of development by telling more touching Chinese stories.
