As the sun rose on Monday, Fuzhou welcomed cinephiles and global travelers to the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival. This coastal gem in southeast China's Fujian Province is where banyan-lined streets meet three converging waterways and the vast East China Sea.
Our livestream journey began atop the graceful Sanxianzhou Bridge, which arches over the Minjiang River to Zhongzhou Island. At one end, the bustling Taijiang Wharf hums with activity; at the other, sweeping views of the historic Youth Association Hall and the modern Youth Square invite exploration.
Filmmakers, innovators, and culture enthusiasts gather here not just for screenings but to experience a city in harmony with nature. As daylight fades, Fuzhou's riverside skyline bursts into life: twinkling lights dance on the water’s surface, reflecting the city’s poetic union of tradition and modernity.
Beyond the films, Fuzhou offers a glimpse of sustainable urban design and immersive travel—where every lane, bridge, and riverbank tells a story. Whether you’re a digital nomad chasing new horizons or a thought leader seeking fresh cultural insights, Fuzhou’s charm is ready to be discovered.
