- Grace was born and raised in the US but her family is from Fuzhou, Fujian, China. Prior to this trip, she visited Fuzhou only once in her life, at age seven. It's her first time returning to her ancestral hometown with her partner in crime, Yongjian, on a heritage-seeking trip to visit each other's hometowns and learn about each other's families and local cultures. Join us as we take you on an adventure through the historical-turned-modern parts of the city of Fuzhou.

Thank you for promoting Fuzhou culture
And thank you for appreciating Fuzhou culture!
The night view of Fuzhiou is beautiful. How many people can be sit on that huge table?
👏👏👏 西湖👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing your nice video with us. I went on a trip to Fuzhou in November and your video brought back a lot of good memories. The new metrorail system is awesome. Don't forget to write off your trip costs as business expenses on your tax return next year.
i enjoy all your videos thoroughly. Taking notes for my future travels. :)
Thank you! Happy travels!
wow i love how you captured your reactions to the food and culture, and it was so great to hear more about the culture contexts! i want to go back now~
This is exactly what our channel exists to do! 💕
It is true that Fuzhou dialect has fewer and fewer application scenarios. I hope everyone will speak it more. I am glad that you introduced Fuzhou.
All the food looks so yummy! I’ll have to check out Fuzhou next time I’m in China :)
YAY! That is our goal with these videos! 😉
The last time I went to Fuzhou was 2002 and golly did the place change. It's definitely a lot nicer than I last remember it. Cool video!
Thank you so much! Yes, Fuzhou did indeed change so much that Grace's parents and grandparents didn't even recognize parts of it! You should definitely visit again if you get a chance :)
謝謝分享😀👍
謝謝您關注我們！
好样的 长柄年轻人 👍👍👍
Thank you, I missed Fuzhou. I was there 6 times from 2005 to 2010. Thanks for your videos.
Very cool! What was your experience like when you visited Fuzhou?
@GraceandYJ , I was shell shock. As I walk off the jet way. I tell myself that I am in Communist China. ( I was born in Taiwan). Friends took me to the city and checked me in the hotel in the back of 5-1 Square. I was amazed. It looks and feels modern. I like it. I am an early riser ( friends are not). I walk through the Fuzhou City back alley, and I smell the local air. Walk up the drum mountain every other day. I am Chinese, and I am in China. I feel good. I stopped at every tea shop ( just to experience the tea ritual). Stopped at most of the coffee shops. It reminds me of Japan. The U.S. doesn't have anything close to it. I will be back very soon. I was so backwoods person, I ordered sweet and sour pork. I love it so much ( reminds me of Taiwan), I walk into the kitchen and tip the cook for the awesome dish. Living in the U.S. for 50 years, I am a Chinese redneck. That's my 2 cents. Thanks.
Never can imagine Fuzhou is so much bigger than Kuala Lumpur 😅
七溜八溜，不离虎纠。

haha it took many days! thanks for the support as always
Japanese mochi came from China. Everything that is good in Japan came from China. case closed.
