Introduction:

Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, half of modern Chinese history, Fuzhou is a city of outstanding people and spiritual land,Combininga city with millennia of cultural heritage and modern vibes. Growing with the pace of the new era, this city that nurtured ‘Maxin’ has achieved leapfrog development. The biennial photography on the title page of the Maxin product catalog records either the bits and pieces of its growth over the years or a microcosm of its changes.

“A hometown city, sharing the name with happiness; a tower in the heart, sharing the name with the motherland,” what we presentperhapsis merely imagery, which may not fully measure and depict the geographical texture and cultural charm of this city. However, we hope to gather the fragments of this city in the title page photography works through the moments preserved by Maxin colleagues and the selected scenic spots,to showcase the most beautiful side of Fuzhou,and also hope to pass on the blessings of the ‘City of Blessings’to all ‘blessed people’.。

Zhenhai Tower

【Zhenhai Tower】: “To guard the sea in the south and defend the land in the north.” Originally built to defend against Japanese pirate harassment, and as the tallest tower in ancient Fuzhou, it also served as a guide for ships entering the city at night. Atop Ping Mountain, bathed in golden light, it calms winds and seas, overlooks splendor, and protects blessings.

Three Lanes and Seven Always

【Three Lanes and Seven Alleys】: Fuzhou is an ancient yet youthful city, and Three Lanes and Seven Alleys is its charm symbol, known as the urban ‘living fossil of lanes and alleys.’ Walking under the saddle-shaped walls, one can experience the most authentic Fuzhou.

Hot Spring Park

【Hot Spring Park】: A park with European style, divided by a glass pyramid, featuring lakes and mountains in the south and myriad charms in the north.

West Lake

【West Lake】: The West Lake scenery, where ‘misty rain is lovely, but clear weather is even better.’ Originally built to channel water from the northwestern mountains to irrigate farmland, it was constructed west of the city walls, hence the name West Lake. Leisurely strolling by West Lake, one finds scenery in all seasons; boating with a few friends offers a half-day of idle pleasure.

Millennium Ancient Temple – Xichan Temple

【Xichan Temple】: Three hundred lychee trees before the Buddha, a stele records the temple’s thousand-year history. For millennia, besides its influence in Buddhism, Xichan Temple has been renowned for its lychee trees. Due to varying ripening times, from Minor Heat to the end of the dog days, ‘enjoying lychees at Yishan’ is a fashion for Fuzhou locals.

Urban Forest Trail – Fudao

【Fudao】：A city of beautiful waters and half a city of mountains endows Fuzhou with unique elegance and spirit. Fudao resembles a massive urban installation, planned with ‘one axis, three sections, five points.’Providing citizens with an eco-friendly forest trail for ‘forest’ breathing and ‘forest’ distance.

Liberation Bridge

【Liberation Bridge】：Originally named Wanshou Bridge, it is the oldest stone arch bridge spanning the Min River.During the War of Resistance against Japan, it suffered several bombings by Japanese forces and also witnessed the liberation of Fuzhou. Hence, the bridge was renamed ‘Liberation Bridge.’

Youxizhou Bridge

【Youxizhou Bridge】：Spanning the northern port of the Min River in Fuzhou, its elegant pipa-shaped curve is the first bridge in China to adopt a new structural design combining beam and archsystems.

IFC

【IFC】: Overlooking Fuzhou International Finance Center (abbreviated: Fuzhou IFC), this is the first ‘headquarters economy’ cluster in the West Coast Economic Zone. As night falls, it plays a nocturne of blue and gold.

Strait Olympic Sports Center

【StraitOlympic Sports Center】: Combining conch features with the stadium design, it creates a dynamic sports space while embodying the Fuzhou city spirit of ‘inclusiveness as vast as the sea, greatness through tolerance.’

Gushan Bridge

【Gushan Bridge】: Fuzhou’s first single-tower self-anchored suspension bridge. With night-cruising boats, it traverses this ‘bridge museum’ on the Min River. The six-kilometer nightscape lighting gallery flows like a dream along the river.
