Jade Hill Scenic Area

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:56:40

This rocky hill park in the centre of Fúzhōu rises above a snow-white statue of Mao Zedong (毛主席像; Máo Zhǔxí Xiàng) playing 'traffic cop'. Check out the seven-storey White Pagoda (白塔; Bái Tǎ), built in AD 904. At the foot of Jade Hill are the wretched remains of Fúzhōu's Ming dynasty city wall (明代古城墙遗迹; Míngdài Gǔchéngqiáng Yíjì); originally boasting seven gates, the wall was pulled down for road widening.
