Fuzhou
Fuzhou is the laid-back capital of Fujian province, a city of hot-spring bathhouses, banyan-shaded streets and a river delta culture that feels closer to Taiwan than to Beijing. Its old quarter of Three Lanes and Seven Alleys sits alongside a fast-modernising skyline, giving the city a layered, unhurried charm rare among China's provincial capitals.
