As the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival runs in Fuzhou, Yantai Mountain Historical and Cultural Block shines beyond screenings. Along the Minjiang River, it once housed 17 consulates and shaped Fuzhou's modern education. Today, it's a "world architecture museum" blending Western-style mansions with local courtyard houses. Its charm is merging history and modernity. A top photo spot, it draws crowds via curated bookstores, cultural markets and festival pop-ups, offering a vivid look at Fuzhou's past and present.
