The most popular attraction in Fuzhou is indisputably Gushan - the Drum Hill, resting on the northern shores of Minjiang River about 8 kilometres towards the east of Fuzhou City. A massive natural rock formation in the shape of a drum is perched at the hilltop, where it simulates the percussion effect during a downpour or a strong breeze, duly christening the mountain as Drum Hill.

Drum Hill has been a famous sightseeing magnet since a millennium, where visitors throng at the foot of the mountain all set for a leisurely hike, absorbing the stunning scenery and pristine natural landscape surrounding the 1800 meter long trail. There are three trails altogether to climb up to the summit, such as the traditional way by climbing the stone stairway furnished with fortified handrails at some points, or by taking a long bus ride or via cable cars. Some locals climb the steps barefooted, as it is said to offer a therapeutic workout. While climbing along the winding stairway, visitors will also come across a flat rocky surface with engraved Chinese scripts of all sizes, painted in bright crimson.

Out of the attractions in Fuzhou in the vicinity of Drum Hill, Yongquan Temple tops the list. Potted flowers brimming with vibrant colours and diverse varieties, multi-tiered elaborately ornate roofs and classic Chinese sculptures along with a repository of historical treasures set against a wonderful backdrop of lush mountain grove - defines the 1000 year old Yongquan Temple, acclaimed as the quintessence of Chinese architecture.
