About this place
East Fujian (闽东 mǐndōng) encompasses the coastal prefectures of Fuzhou and Ningde, serving as an important economic and cultural region of Fujian Province. Its landscape combines the flat Min River valley with predominantly hilly terrain extending inland.
The region blends modern infrastructure with traditional charm. While the cities offer industrial and educational centers, the coastline and countryside provide scenic escapes ranging from island getaways to mountain waterfalls.

Planning Tips
- Fly into Fuzhou Changle International Airport — the main air gateway with domestic connections to major Chinese cities and some international flights to East and Southeast Asia.
- Use the fast train network — the high-speed rail line connects Fuzhou to Shanghai and other coastal cities, with stations in most major towns.
- Combine bus and ferry for coastal exploration — local buses connect towns to county seats, while passenger ferries operate across some river estuaries, such as the route from Long'an to Shacheng.
