When a 38℃ heatwave sweeps through Rongcheng, a bowl of glutinous rice wrapped in crushed ice becomes the silent declaration of Fuzhou people against the scorching heat. Originating from the streets of Changle in the 1980s, ice rice🍧, with the chewiness of glutinous rice, the chill of shaved ice, and the richness of toppings, weaves the cool summer story of this ancient city—it’s not just a dessert, but a chewable cycle of the four seasons. The Three Soul Codes of Ice Rice 1️⃣ Glutinous Rice Base Traditionally made with steamed and cooled glutinous rice, with variations using black rice or purple rice, each grain distinct and not sticky🍚. Local gourmets prefer adding a pinch of salt during steaming, blending sweet and salty flavors to cut the greasiness. 2️⃣ Eight Treasure Toppings The basic version includes watermelon/peanuts/grass jelly, while upgraded versions incorporate mango pomelo sago, milk tea jelly, or cheese popping pearls🥥. The highlight is handmade adazi (tapioca balls), full of chewiness. 3️⃣ Shaved Ice Syrup Traditionally based on honey water, modern innovations include coconut milk, jasmine tea broth, or lychee honey🌿. The essence lies in mixing with crushed ice, making every bite crunch. 🏆 List of 8 Must-Try Ice Rice Shops 🔵 Classic Old Brands • Fan Bing Bing (Kuiqiao Branch): Black rice ice rice with stuffed taro balls, sesame filling bursting, unlimited shaved ice refills. • Authentic Eight Treasure Ice Rice (Wangzhuang Branch): Coconut milk base with grilled white rice cake, about 15 RMB per person. • Zheng Shuangshuang Ice Rice: Osmanthus tofu pudding with coconut milk ice rice, bean fragrance delicate as silk. 🟡 Creative New Forces • Waha Ice Rice (Antai Branch): Focused on takeout, jasmine-flavored ice rice fresh as a tea garden after rain. • Sister Xiao Nai Ice Rice (Daping Road Branch): Stuffed dragon pearl coconut milk ice rice, dragon pearl oozes mango sauce when bitten. • Dreamy Ice Season (Lianjiang Branch): Milk green tea base + barbecue combo, perfect spot for sunset view at Jinjiang Bridge. ⚪ Niche Treasures • Park Road Sweet Soup: 5 RMB/bowl yellow rock sugar ice rice, honey brewed to attract bees. • Liangliang Ice Rice: Old-fashioned ice pop flavor, glutinous rice base chewy like popping candy. 🚶‍♀️ Three-Day Cool Food Tour Route DAY1 Nostalgic Old Town Morning: Explore Minnan-style houses in Sanfang Qixiang → Noon: Dadou beef slices with mixed noodles → Afternoon: Big feast at Xihong Community sweet soup shop (ice rice + four fruit soup combo) → Evening: Minjiang River night cruise to enjoy light show.

Keep your phone and documents safe from water damage. • Water shoes + quick-drying pants: The rocks in the stream are slippery, so regular slippers are a no-go 🙅♀️! • Mini mosquito repellent patches: Stick them on your collar—more convenient than sprays, especially with all the bugs in the grass. • Folding seat cushion: The ground at Difengjiang Park can be damp, so bring a cushion to avoid getting wet. ⚠️ Cautionary Advice | Lessons Learned the Hard Way ❗️ Cell phone signal is weak in Baima Canyon. Download offline maps in advance and agree on a meeting point with your family. ❗️ There are no shops at Difengjiang Park. Bring enough water and snacks, but be sure to take your trash with you (the villagers are very clean). ❗️ There's a weight limit for the bamboo rafts at Qinglong Waterfall. People over 200 jin (approx. 220 lbs) need to ride separately. Don't ask me how I know 😭. ❗️ Some old houses in Luozhou Ancient Town are not open to the public. Ask politely before taking photos to avoid disturbing the residents. 🍜 Hidden Culinary Gems | Don't Miss These ✅ Yongtai Scallion Pancakes: Baked over charcoal, incredibly crispy, and a steal at 5 yuan for 3. ✅ Stewed Chicken with Qinghong Wine: A hidden gem on farmhouse menus.

In January, I encountered gentle weather and a slowly warming climate. I was dragged to a strange sports farm early in the morning, which was a bit of a stretch for me, as I don't like sports. Although I was full of thoughts, I fell in love at first sight when I saw him, and my heart was tied up. Located in the Jingxi Green Oasis, Dexian Sports Farm is next to the Min River. It has a large piece of land, with a romantic wine house, tea room, chess and card room, luxury private room, outdoor barbecue, old Beijing hot pot, tea by the stove, ground pot, KTV, etc. There is also a sports circle, mountain off-road vehicles, mountain motorcycles, and the farm is also home to the Fuzhou Motorcycle Sports Association and the Fuzhou Water Sports Association. This time, the farm arranged for us to take a boat to see the metasequoia forest. At noon, the warm sun shone on the blooming river, dipping a shimmering brush into the water, slowly sketching the banks of the Min River. We rode the wind into the metasequoia forest, and a colorful picture of the river unfolded before us. At this moment, we felt and enjoyed nature. After playing, my stomach began to protest strongly. When I saw the rich and varied dishes of the earth pit firewood chicken hot pot, I was completely tempted and opened my appetite to bravely eliminate the food. After eating and drinking, we crossed the artificial lake to our tea room and card room, where we had tea and chatted. At the end, I asked for one of their business cards. In addition to the farm being able to host banquets, team building, parent-child activities, parties, conferences, etc., there is also a party building activity room for party members. I sincerely give them a thumbs up. Address: Dexian Sports Farm, Jingxi Green Oasis, Fuzhou, Fujian Province

In Fuzhou, time seems to slow down, and every breeze carries a story, drifting from the cobblestone streets of Sanfang Qixiang. In the morning, the mist lingers on the treetops, like a veil draped over the city. The uncle's pot of ding bian hu on the street corner is steaming hot, ladling out the warmth of life. The rice paste is soft and glutinous, the seafood is fresh, and the seaweed is light. With one bite, the fireworks of Fuzhou warm your heart. In the ancient alleys, the old wooden doors creak open, and the elderly sit on the doorstep, chatting about family matters. Time has weathered the walls, but it has also strengthened the bonds of neighborly affection. In the afternoon, the generous sunlight spills over the surface of West Lake, breaking into a sea of golden light. The boats cut through the calm water, rippling the reflections of the willows on the shore. Not far away, the former residence of Yan Fu stands silently, as if you can see the figure of the gentleman busy enlightening the people in the past. The wind of history blows the seeds of thought, crossing a century without extinguishing. When night falls, the neon lights on both sides of the Minjiang River light up, dyeing the river into colorful ribbons. The Liberation Bridge spans across it, with vehicles and pedestrians coming and going in a hurry. The vitality and leisure of this city blend in the dim lights. In the night market, the fresh aroma of fish ball soup, the sweet and glutinous taro paste, and the sweet and sour lychee meat tantalize the taste buds, each bite is a deep confession of love from Fuzhou to the taste buds. Fuzhou, you are the old dream hidden in the ancient alleys, the new chapter stirred by the waves of the Minjiang River. I am intoxicated by your ordinary yet romantic daily life, and I am attached to the never-ending scenery of this world of fireworks.

Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, was known as "Mindou" in ancient times. The Minjiang River is the largest river in Fujian Province that flows into the sea (the East China Sea). It splits into two branches in Fuzhou, flows through the city, and then merges into one again before flowing into the East China Sea from the Minjiang River Estuary in Fuzhou. As the mother river of the people of Fuzhou, the Minjiang River has nourished generations of Fuzhou people since ancient times. It was also once a key commercial and shipping route, and Fuzhou's prosperity is closely related to it. When you come to Fuzhou, the scenic belt on both sides of the Minjiang River is a must-visit. The Minjiang River is the first choice for an easy hike or city walk in Fuzhou. There is an ecological viewing trail along the river, and you can enjoy the unique scenery of the rising and falling river, as well as the banyan trees and water birds. The commercial streets on both sides of the river are also perfect for strolling and playing. Highly recommended.

Fuzhou Ship Administration Cultural Scenic Area is located in Mawei District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. It is the first theme park in China with a focus on ship administration culture tourism, and it is the largest ship administration cultural base in the country as well as a patriotism education base in Fuzhou City. Mawei is situated at the mouth of the Min River in Fujian, just across the water from Taiwan. It has been the maritime gateway for Fuzhou since ancient times and was designated as one of the five treaty ports in the modern era. As early as 1866, Zuo Zongtang and Shen Baozhen founded the Fujian Ship Administration here. This was the first professional machinery shipbuilding factory in modern China, marking the beginning of a series of vigorous 'enrich the country and strengthen the military' activities, including building shipyards, constructing warships, manufacturing airplanes, establishing schools, recruiting talent, and sending students abroad for study. These efforts cultivated and produced a group of outstanding industrial and technological talents and distinguished naval officers of modern China, represented by figures such as Yan Fu, Zhan Tianyou, Sa Zhenbing, and Deng Shichang. They pioneered the spirit of 'observing the world with a detached view' and boldly proposed to 'look at the world with a cold eye'. By introducing advanced Western science and technology, spreading Chinese and Western cultures, and promoting the modernization process of China, it is known as the 'Living Fossil' of modern Chinese history.
