Fujian Province lies on the southeastern coast of China, facing Taiwan across the strait. It is a destination of mountains, old temples and a food culture that many travellers come to the province specifically to taste.
Landscapes and places to see
Much of Fujian is mountainous, and the scenery shifts quickly between busy coastal cities and quiet rural countryside. The province is known for its historic temples, which give visitors a sense of the region's long religious and cultural life. Because the terrain is so varied, a trip here can combine city streets with walks and views in the hills.
Food and everyday life
Traditional Fujian cuisine is one of the main reasons to visit. Meals here often draw on fresh seafood from the coast and on the careful, layered cooking associated with the province. Eating in local markets and small restaurants is a good way to get a feel for daily life.
Fujian suits travellers who enjoy mixing urban energy with slower, scenic days. Plan around the mountains and temples as well as the cities, and leave time for the food.
