Fuzhou Yantai Shan 福州仓山烟台山

By Wu Xiaorong

福州烟台山位于仓山区，是我非常熟悉的地方，我的青少年时代都在这一带玩耍徜徉。我从小到大的整个学习过程：幼儿园.小学.中学.大学都在烟台山的周边。转眼几十年过去了。

福州烟台山如今又红火兴隆起来了，成为著名的旅遊及网红打卡点，之前很清静建筑和巷道，如今十分渲闹，每天人头攒动，摩肩接踵。

福州烟台山曾是福建省对外经济文化交流的重要窗口，1842年，福州成为五口通商口岸之一，烟台山因其特殊的地理位置和自然条件，吸引了大量外国势力。1845年，英国在烟台山设立了第一座领事馆，随后英法美德俄日荷等17个国家在此设立领事馆或代办处，形成了“万国建筑博物馆”的建筑风貌‌

‌随着时代变迁和社会发展，烟台山的建筑逐渐破败。近年来，福州市政府高度重视烟台山历史风貌区的保护和开发，采取“修旧如旧”的原则，对历史建筑进行修复保护，同时注入新的功能与活力。2015年，烟台山亭下路周边历史建筑群开启修复保护工作，烟台山的商业漫步街区逐渐焕发新生‌。

Located in Cangshan District of Fuzhou, Yantai Mountain is a place I am very familiar with. I spent my youth playing in this area. My whole learning process from small to large: kindergarten, primary school, middle school, university are in the surrounding Yantai Mountain. In a few decades, decades passed.

Fuzhou Yantai Mountain is booming now, becoming a famous tourism and Internet celebrity punch point, before the quiet building and roadway, now very busy, crowded every day.

In 1842, Fuzhou became one of the five treaty ports in Fujian Province. Yantai Mountain, because of its special geographical position and natural conditions, attracted a lot of foreign forces. In 1845, the United Kingdom set up the first consulate in Yantai Mountain, followed by Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan and the Netherlands and other 17 countries set up consulates or agencies here, forming a "museum of international architecture" architectural style

With the change of the times and the development of society, the buildings of Yantai Mountain are gradually dilapidated. In recent years, the Fuzhou Municipal Government attaches great importance to the protection and development of Yantai Mountain historical area, and adopts the principle of "restoring the old as the old," to restore and protect the historical buildings, while injecting new functions and vitality. In 2015, Yantai Shantingxia Road surrounding the historical buildings to start the restoration and protection work, Yantai Mountain commercial stroll district gradually rejuvenated.
