2 Why It Matters
Three Lanes & Seven Alleys is one of China's best-preserved Ming–Qing urban fabrics—living lanes, not a theme set. It's also Fuzhou's only 5A attraction, recognized in Fujian's official A-grade list.
3 Pro Tips
1
Go early for courtyards, return after dusk for lantern shots
2
Pick 2–3 house museums that match your interests (literati homes vs. craft guildhalls)
