-Fuzhou-

Fuzhou City, abbreviated as “Rong” and also known as Rongcheng, was historically called Mindu. It is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province, the provincial capital, and the core city of the Fuzhou Metropolitan Area—a Type I metropolis. Located at the eastern end of central Fujian Province and bordering the Taiwan Strait to the east, the city’s topography is that of a typical estuarine basin, characterized primarily by mountains and hills. It has a typical subtropical monsoon climate that is warm and humid, with evergreen vegetation year-round and abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall. As of the end of 2025, Fuzhou’s permanent resident population stood at 8.521 million. The local languages spoken are the Min Dong dialect (Fuzhou dialect) and Mandarin.

Fuzhou is a nationally designated historical and cultural city. In 202 BCE, Wuzhu—a descendant of King Goujian of Yue who was enfeoffed as the King of Minyue—built a city here and established it as his capital, naming it “Yecheng.” In 725, because “there is a Mount Fu to the north of the prefecture,” the city began to be called “Fuzhou” and was elevated to the status of a military governor’s office, with the seat of government located within the prefectural city (present-day Guping Road). In 1946, Fuzhou was designated as a municipality. With a history of more than 2,200 years since its founding, the city has cultivated four major cultural hallmarks: Tanshi Mountain, the Ship Bureau, the “Three Lanes and Seven Alleys,” and Shoushan Stone. It has also produced outstanding figures such as Lin Zexu, Shen Baozhen, Yan Fu, Lin Jiemin, Zheng Zhenduo, Bingxin, Chen Jingrun, and Wu Mengchao. Mawei District in Fuzhou is the cradle of China’s modern navy, the birthplace of China’s Shipbuilding Administration culture, and one of the five earliest treaty ports opened in modern China.
