Fuzhou's Shangxiahang Cultural Leisure Tourism Scenic Area once the city's vibrant commercial heart and a pivotal shipping hub, teemed with merchants in its heyday, its streets lined with numerous guild halls representing various regions. Today, Shangxiahang is not merely a "living fossil" for studying Fuzhou's rich mercantile past; it has also emerged as a fresh urban icon for Fuzhou, continuing to weave new chapters into the centuries-old saga of the Maritime Silk Road.
