KUALA LUMPUR, April 14 (Bernama) -- The promo video of Fuzhou city, Fujian province, titled "What You Did Not Know about Fuzhou -- Ancient Buildings", was released recently via overseas social media accounts including "Oriental.Paris", "Discover Fujian" and "Discover Fuzhou".

"Gucuo", is the special name for ancient residence and ancient architecture in Fujian local dialect, which generally means "ancient buildings".

The video focuses on the precious heritage of ancestral wisdom and art in which ancient buildings such as Qi Jiguang Temple, Mawei Martyr Temple and Lin Zexu Memorial Hall carry the historical memories of trials and tribulations that stir people's hearts.

The Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, Shangxiahang Historical and Cultural District and Yantai Mountain integrate the classics and fashion, showing new vitality and brilliance, according to the Publicity Department of the CPC Fuzhou Municipal Committee in a statement.

To protect ancient buildings and cultural relics means to preserve history, the cultural lineage and the intangible fine traditions of a famous historical and cultural city.

Since the 1990s, Fuzhou has always attached great importance to the protection of historical and cultural heritage, introduced specific policies, established long-term mechanisms, trained talented people, and focused on the protection and restoration of famous towns, blocks, areas with distinctive features and cultural relics.
