Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province on the southeast coast of the Chinese mainland, is lighting up the screen vibes as the host city of the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival. More than a cinematic hub, this coastal city doubles as a haven for travelers looking to pair world-class cinema with mouthwatering local eats.
Wandering through Fuzhou’s streets between screenings, festivalgoers will discover a paradise for foodies. From bustling night markets to cozy teahouses, the city offers a wide variety of Fujian specialties. But one dish stands out above the rest: Fotiaoqiang.
Literally translated as "Buddha jumps over the wall," Fotiaoqiang has earned legendary status for its layered flavors and storied past. This rich, aromatic delicacy showcases Fuzhou’s culinary soul in every spoonful, making it a must-try experience that extends the festival’s cultural journey beyond the silver screen.
