In Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, spring quietly unfolds along the ancient paths of Sanfang Qixiang, or Three Lanes and Seven Alleys. This spring, as people wander through this historical neighborhood – often called a "living fossil of China's ancient city layout" – they'll find Yijin Lane dressed in seasonal elegance.
Strings of delicate fringe tree blossoms have swayed gently in the breeze, adorning Yijin Lane – one of the most charming corners of this thousand-year-old neighborhood, and bringing a quiet elegance to the time-worn walls and stone-paved paths.
