Fuzhou Travel Overview:
Boasting a fantastic geophraphical location which has facilitated its cultural and economic influences to radiate as far interior as Dadu (then the Mongols capital of the Yuan Dynasty, present-day Beijing) and as far abroad as countries of Southeast Asia, the Arabian Peninsula and East Africa, Fuzhou is by no means a mundane place to stopover as it appears to be.
Despite its laid-back folklife and seemingly low profile among other Chinese boomtowns, Fuzhou is in fact historically a long-standing cultural, economic and educational hub in Southeast China, currently the capital, largest and most significant city of Fujian Province in China, and essentially a fine seaport at the estuary of the mighty Min River lying right across the strait from Taiwan and almost halway between Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Native to eminent historical figures over the generations who made the history, from the greatest ocean-going adventurers of the ancient world to the most fearless trail-blazing patriots and revolutionists when the future of the nation was put in jeopardy to the most entrepreneurial souls in modern days, and numerous banyan trees throughout the cityscape, many of which are part of the legacy left by a viceroy of the North Song Dynasty during 1064 and 1067, and 6 of them have sprouted in the last 1,000 years or so, Fuzhou is the tried and true "Land of Good Fortune" as its name originally means, and the City of Banyan as its citizens affectionately refer their hometown to.
From the giant ancient banyan trees of twisted beauty to delicate soupy stew of fotiaoqiang and braised sea clam with chicken soup, from the precious shoushan stone carvings of rare collectable value to wondrous water of Fuzhou hot springs with various therapeutic effects, from the old tall tales of tall ships by the old salts to the tangible evidences and traces of a one-time major gateway on the Marine Silk Road, a port of call for Marco Polo's oriental exploration, and an economic powerhouse in China's southeastern coast from the Tang Dynasty through to this day, Fuzhou still has too many more things to enjoy and explore to sum up exhaustively in a tiny little piece of article or to soak up all together within a one day's trip or two.

1.Climate Overview
Like the rest of northeastern Asia on the west coast of the Pacific, Fuzhou is located in the same sub-tropical monsoon climate zone, albeit one of the slightly warmer and wetter type, like Hong Kong, which is about 700 km to its southwest, or more comparably Taiwan, which is right across the 180km Taiwan Strait from it, with an annual temperature of 19.6 degrees Celsius, an average temperature of the coldest month, January, of 10.6 degrees Celsius, an average temperature of the hottest month, July, of 28.8 degrees Celsius, annual relative humidity averaging at about 77%, annual rainfall falling anywhere from 1,000- 2,500 mm, annual frostfree period lasting for as long as 326 days, and annual hours of sunshine fluctuating within 1700-1980 hours.
2.What to Wear
Varied change of clothes for four distict seasons:
Despite the fact that there is almost no bitterly cold winters or swelteringly hot summers in Fuzhou, it does experience four distinct seasons.
Temperature and weather conditions in Fuzhou's spring (Mar-Jun) are so changeable that only few facts are predictable, the almost always overcast or rainy days and temperature range from slightly cool to mildly warm.
What can be worn for a trip in this season is just as unpredictable as the whimsical climate, yet a knitted woolen sweater, long jeans or slacks, plus a midweight jacket or coat will do for most of the weather conditions and social occasions.
The hot and humid summer (Jul-Sep) surely is the period when the most heat waves, thunderstorms, tropical storms and typhoon activities of the year congregate.
Practically speaking, lightweight casual attire of natural material, like cotton or linen, with light color, like blue or white, as well as good ventilation, are the best bet to survive the intense heat and humidity of the south.
To keep your edge while busy shopping and sightseeing around Fuzhou in the hottest season, don't forget your array of sun-smart outfits, like sun-block, sunglasses, broad-rim hat, etc.
Autumn (Oct-Nov) is always the finest period of time to visit Fuzhou, due to the clear blue skies, abundant sunshines, pleasant temperatures.
For most of the short and sunny autumn days, a single layer of clothes, like long-sleeve shirts and slacks or jeans, plus a light jacket or jumper for cooler morning or evening hours or colder days in the late Autumn, would suffice.
And there is the dry and coldish winter (Dec-Feb), with the lowest temperatures and least precipitation of the year.
Measures should be taken to keep oneself warm in winter, especially for those coming from the north who are not quite accustomed to winters in the south without indoor residence heating.
You can either resort to clothing of good thermal insulation quality or simply by layering-up, like long johns under slacks, thermal underwear under heavy sweater, plus a coat. There were occations when the cold air masses virtually made it, and winter outings during that period of time would require gloves, scarfs and warm hats, etc.
Raingear for abundant rainfall:
Reposing along side the flows of Min River which empties east into the East China Sea, and resting her head on high mountains encircling from the other three sides, Fuzhou receives plenty of rainfall every year.
There are spring showers on and off during March and April. Then East Asian rainy season (traditionally called "meiyu," literally means "plum rains") sets in during May and lasts through to the end of the season, during which period of time Min River is most likely prone to flood. Summer rainfall comes from the East Asian Monsoon and from frequent typhoons.
It is advisable to steer clear of such climatically unpleasant seasons. Otherwise, pack something waterproof, and take an umbrella with you.
