8 Status, Assessment and Protection Measures for Cultural property along the Route

8.1 Cultural property

Nantaidao Island is surrounded by rivers, with tranquil environment and enjoyable climate. There are hills, waters and unique historic folk landscapes. There is a batch of reserved buildings of various western styles, such as former Russian and American consulates, Fanchuanpu Church, segmental Gothic and Rome arches, residences of Sino-western combined style. Furthermore, there are lots of Chinese traditional cultural property and site, such as Lingshan Temple at Luozhou Town, Confucian Temple, former Chen Ruolin house, Jianxin Town’s Jinshan Temple, Chengmen Town’s Qingliang Temple, Chen Clan Temple and Ruiji Temple’s white Buddha. Now there are more than 120 developed scenic spots; most of them are cultural properties of Ming and Qing Dynasties, totaling about 84 spots, accounting for 68%. Moreover, there are 22 cultural properties of Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties; modern cultural properties are 17. Three of those historic and cultural relics are province-level historic reservations, 28 municipality-level and 43 district-level, the rest of them are registered cultural properties.

Cultural properties that are relatively greatly affected by Nanjiang Binlu are Fanchuanpu Church and Anlan Club. Nanjiang Binlu passes by Lianjiang School and temporary dwelling palace of Song Emperor 200-300m far, so there is no much impact on those two cultural properties.


Nantaidao Island enjoys a beautiful environment. Along Minjiang River and Wulongjiang River are scenic landscapes with lots of peaks and green orchids. There are rich cultural and folk resources, cultural properties and famous historic persons. Overhead Tongsan Highway passes the island. There is an environment combining the nature with cultural and folk landscapes, which are Qingliang Temple and ancient residences and modern buildings. Natural landscapes are forest, wetland, migrant birds, ancient trees and Minjiang water.
Rich tourist resources are potential advantages to develop Cangshan District. Cangshan District adheres to the principle of developing and protecting the existing tourist resources; paying importance to key spots, developing them integrally and mutual promotion. It brings Cangshan’s position advantages into full play and strengthens tourist infrastructure construction. On the basis of rich natural and cultural landscapes, the plan of developing “river, water, beach and island”, it shall develop Gaogaishan, Miaofengshan and Qingliangshan scenic spots; construct Chengmen Huaxia Century Park, Junbian Zoo, Luozhou green resort, Jianxinshazhou and ecologic farm sightseeing park, so as to build a cultural and tourist strip along the river at Cangshan District, which will integrate natural landscapes with cultural relics, attract people from other places to visit, thus promoting the development of holiday economy.

8.2 Impact on Historical Relics and Cultural property


Of the environmental protection sensitive points, the most sensitive is the Fanchuanpu Catholic Church. It is located to the south of the route. A length of 80 meters of Nanjiang Binlu will go through the north of the church. The mileage is K2+824 ~ K2+870. Please see Figure 3.7-3.

This church was constructed on the sandy land of Minjiang River in the year of 1933. It is the activity center for Catholic Christians in Fuzhou even in Fujian. Usually on Sundays, about 4000-5000 people attend the mass. In the time of important feasts, tens of thousands of people come to the church. The church itself cannot hold them, so the square before the church serves as the temporary hub for these people. Up to now, this church has received thousands of foreign friends and missionaries. It is an important site for exchange of eastern-western cultures and also the base for our government to show the religious freedom in China. Phase I of Nanjiang Binlu will move part of the dormitory for workers of the church and take part of the square. So Phase I OF Nanjiang Binlu has impact on the church. However, proper measures shall be taken to protect the church. Negotiate with the church to solve the issues of taking part of the square and moving part of the dormitories of the workers of the church.
