MINJIANG RIVER

This 2 872-km long course takes its source in the Wuyi Mountains, located between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. The Min is the largest river in the Fujian with a 60 000 km ² watershed and has given its name to the province, also called Min.

From Fuzhou and up to its estuary, 50 km, the Min is celebrated for its unique beauty and served over the centuries as a pretext to construct sumptuous architecture still standing today: the Golden Mountain Temple (Jinshanta Si), the Five Tigers gate (Wuhumen), the fort of Minjiang (Minjiang Paotai) and the famous port of Mawei (Maweigang).
