As the hot weather persists in Fuzhou, some locals have opted to refresh themselves in nearby creeks.

The Shangke Creek in Shangjie town, a charming and tranquil place hidden in Minhou county, is crystal clear and surrounded by lush trees. Children delight in playing in the water, while adults solace in leisurely conversations and tea in the shade.

After eight months of renovation and upgrading, the Juxi Scenic Area has recently reopened, with children boating in the stream, swimming, and having water fights. Free bamboo rafts are provided in the scenic area. It has attracted many visitors to enjoy summer's relaxed and joyful moments.

Many adults enjoy finding comfort in drinking tea while relaxing in the shade of trees. [Photo by Bao Hua/Imagefz.com]
