Wuyi Square hosts the ceremonial raising of the flag by soldiers at dusk and dawn. The centrally-located West Lake Park is perfect for paddling and panda-spotting. For gift ideas, Fuzhou proposes lacquer works and Shoushan stones. While local delicacies such as fish balls, oysters, minced beef and pork are a hit with visitors, Japanese, Korean and French cuisine is also available.
