福州长乐国际机场 · FOC / ZSFZ. Fujian's provincial capital airport, serving a coastal city with strong overseas Chinese links to Southeast Asia and a distinctive local seafood cuisine.
About this airport
Fuzhou Changle International Airport serves the capital of Fujian province, located on China's southeastern coast facing Taiwan across the strait. Fuzhou has historically been one of the main source regions for Chinese emigration to Southeast Asia, the United States, and Europe; many of the world's overseas Chinese communities trace their roots to Fujian.
The city itself is known for its lacquerware (Fuzhou bodiless lacquerware is a recognised national craft), its hot springs, and a seafood-forward cuisine that reflects the coastal geography. Fish balls (fish paste wrapped around a meat filling), oyster omelettes, and various light noodle soups are the local specialities.
Terminal 2, opened in 2021, modernised the airport significantly. The new metro line opened around the same time. International routes from Fuzhou connect primarily to Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Southeast Asian cities with large Fujian-origin communities. The airport serves both business travellers and the diaspora reconnection traffic that is a notable feature of Fujian aviation demand.
