Fudao Forest Trail
福州城市森林步道
A steel elevated trail suspended among the tree canopy of Jinniu Mountain. Its gentle gradient makes it fully barrier-free, and it overlooks West Lake and the city.
Fudao lies between Zuohai Park and Jinniu Mountain in Gulou District. Completed in 2017, its main line is an open-latticed steel elevated walkway with a maximum gradient of about 5%, accessible to strollers and wheelchairs. The total length is about 19 km, linking Zuohai Park, Meifeng Hill Park, Jinniu Mountain and more. Along the way are viewing platforms and canopy walkways, with views over West Lake, the Min River and the city skyline. Admission is free. It is suggested to start from the Zuohai Park entrance and walk uphill, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to cover the core section. Getting there: take Metro Line 1 or a bus to Zuohai Park or Meifeng Road Station.
