Maritime Silk Road site unearthed in Fuzhou

Fuzhou's ancient city walls once existed for thousands of years. Since the 1920s, many of them have been torn down, except those at Wuyi Square and on Jingda Road.

A part of the city wall relics of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (AD 907-960) were unearthed in Wenru Lane, one of Fuzhou's three lanes and seven alleys in Fujian province in 2011. It showed the former prosperity of Fuzhou's Maritime Silk Road. The whole structure of the city wall and a mysterious site were exposed in November 2014. Wang Wei, an archeology expert, emphasized the importance of the protection of the city wall and appealed to list the city wall relics as an urban relic protection unit.
