Fuzhou historical buildings preservation to pay dividends

According to Huang Yuyang, there are many things Honglincuo will provide to visitors, including the dwelling houses that are rich in history, the natural scenery around the buildings, tasty local specialties and distinctive homestays.

In order to strengthen the protection of Fuzhou's cultural heritages, as well as promote the integration of cultural and economic development, the city of Fuzhou rolled out six policies last July.

In recent years, many historical and cultural blocks like Sanfang Qixiang (Three Lanes and Seven Allies) and Shangxiahang have been upgraded and launched in Fuzhou as a result of measures on the protection of ancient buildings, the improvement of people's livelihoods, as well as urban and rural construction.

Moreover, the capital city of Fujian is now preparing for the 44th session of the World Heritage Committee, which was initially scheduled for June 29 to July 9 and then postponed due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, with a new round of ancient building protection efforts and promotion based on the characteristics of the buildings being carried out.
