Three Lanes & Seven Alleys
Three Lanes & Seven Alleys is the brief name for 10 lanes & alleys ranging from the north side to the east side of Nanhou Street. Locating in the heart of Fuzhou City, those lanes and alleys are neighboring Bayiqi North Road on the east, Tonghu Road on the west, Yangqiao Road on the north and Jipi Alley and Guanglu Lane on the south, covering a total area of hectares. The three lanes refer to Yijin Lane, Wenru Lane and Guanglu Lane, while the seven alleys refer to Yangqiao Alley, Langguan Alley, Ta Alley, Huang Alley, Anmin Alley, Gong Alley and Jipi Alley.
