Pingshan （屏山） Park
Sanshan（三山） is the symbol and nickname of Fuzhou. On top of the three mountains, each has its own ambition of elevation. Pingshan（屏山） has Zhenhai Tower（镇海楼）, Wushan（乌山） has Wuta（乌塔）, and Yushan（于山） has White Tower（白塔）, forming three mountains, two towers and one building.
Pingshan is one of the three mountains in Fuzhou. Because the peak looks like a big screen, it is called Pingshan. In a narrow sense, Pingshan refers to the Longfeng Mountain and Longyao Mountain where Zhenhai Tower（镇海楼）, Hualin Temple（华林寺）, Taiquan Well（苔泉井） and other historic sites are located, covering an area of about 50 hectares. During the reign of King Yue（越王）, the former capital was built at the foot of the mountain, so it is also known as the Mountain of King Yue（越王山）.
Pingshan Zhenhai Tower（屏山镇海楼）, built in 1371, was once known as the Nine Famous Towers in China together with Yellow Crane Tower（黄鹤楼）, Yueyang Tower（岳阳楼）, Yanyu Tower（烟雨楼）, etc., and was also known as the Three Zhenhai Towers along the Southeast Coast of China together with Guangzhou Yuexiu Mountain Town Tower（广州越秀山镇海楼） and Hangzhou Wushan Town Tower（杭州吴山镇海楼）. In ancient times, when building Fuzhou City, Wang Gongxian（王恭先） built a tower on the top of the Pingshan Mountain as a sample of each city's gate tower, which is called the sample tower. The sample building is a double storey tower with double eaves on the top of the mountain. It is about 20 meters high. It was the highest building in Fuzhou at that time and became a symbol of the north of the city. There are seven stone vats in the square in front of the sample building, which are arranged like the Big Dipper（, called Seven Star vats. In those days, Dengyang Tower was also known as Zhenhai Tower because it could see the sea. Climbing the tower, you can overlook the Minjiang estuary and even the East China Sea. In the past, when seagoing ships sailed into the mouth of the Minjiang River at night, they used this building as a navigation mark. Unfortunately, this building was destroyed in the "Cultural Revolution"
Zhenhai Tower was rebuilt on the original site in December 2006. It was raised by 10 meters as a whole, and a new museum was built in the raised part, which was completed and opened in 2008. The reconstructed Zhenhai Tower covers an area of 4200 square meters, with a height of 23.9 meters (including the overhead floor) and a width of 43.5 meters. It basically keeps the original style. The first floor of Zhenhai Tower is built as a museum in the Drum Tower area. Visitors can reach the Zhenhai Tower about 15 minutes after entering Pingshan Park and following the memorial arch of "Hezhong Road" along the mountaineering path.
Hualin Temple（华林寺）: "Located at the southern foot of Pingshan Mountain, Hualin Temple, which is known as a national treasure, has a history of more than 1000 years." An expert from the Provincial Museum of Culture and History said that the main hall of Hualin Temple was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 1982. Although the main hall of Hualin Temple has been rebuilt for generations, the main structure of the hall is still the original one when it was first built. It can be called the oldest wooden building south of the Yangtze River, and it is a precious material material for studying the wooden building system in the south of China.
Taiquan Well（苔泉井）: In Longyao Village（龙腰村）, east of Fufei Road（福飞路）, at the west foot of Pingshan Mountain, there is a large banyan tree with luxuriant branches and leaves and intertwined roots. Beside the tree, there is an ancient well. The stone tablet is engraved with "Taiquan"（苔泉）. Taiquan Well（苔泉井） is a well preserved millennium old well in Fuzhou. It is known as the first ancient well in Fuzhou, and is called Dragon Tongue Spring in Records of the Capital of Fujian. In the fifth year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty (1045), when Cai Xiang（蔡襄）, a famous calligrapher, arrived in Fuzhou as a scholar in charge of the Central Committee, he learned that the water quality of the Taiquan Well was sweet, and he often sent people to fetch water to make tea. The word "苔泉" is inscribed on the wall beside the well by Cai Xiang.
屏山公园
三山是福州的标志和代称。而三山之上，又各有标高之志。屏山有镇海楼，乌山有乌塔，于山有白塔，形成三山两塔一座楼。
屏山是福州三山之一，因为山峰形状像一座大屏风，所以称屏山。狭义的屏山，指镇海楼、华林寺、苔泉井等古迹所在的龙峰和龙腰山，占地约50公顷。越王时在山麓建故都，所以又名越王山。
镇海楼：屏山镇海楼建于1371年，曾与黄鹤楼、岳阳楼、烟雨楼等并称为中国九大名楼，并与广州越秀山镇海楼、杭州吴山镇海楼同称为中国东南沿海三大镇海楼。古代建福州府城时，王恭先在屏山顶修建一座谯楼，作为各城门楼建造的样本，称为样楼。样楼是重檐歇山顶的双层城楼，高约20米，是当时福州最高的建筑物，成为城正北的标志。样楼楼前广场有七口石缸，排列如北斗七星，称七星缸。当年登样楼可以望见大海，所以又名镇海楼。登楼可远瞰闽江口乃至东海。过去海船夜航进闽江口，都以此楼为航标。不幸此楼毁于"文化大革命"中
屏山镇海楼于 2006年12月在原址重建，整体抬高了10米，抬高部分新建一座博物馆，于2008年完工开放。重建的镇海楼占地4200平方米，楼高23.9米(含架空层)，宽43.5米，基本保持了原楼样式，并将镇海楼一楼修建为鼓楼区博物馆，游客进入屏山公园沿登山道经"和中道"牌坊约15分钟，就可到达镇海楼。
华林寺："被誉为国宝的华林寺，位于屏山南麓，至今已有1000多年的历史。"省文史研究馆一专家说，华林寺大殿1982年就被列入全国重点文物保护单位。华林寺大殿虽经历代重修，但大殿主要构架还是初建时原物，可称得上是长江以南最古老的木构建筑，是研究我国南方木建体系的珍贵实物资料。
苔泉井：屏山西麓福飞路东侧的龙腰村，有一株枝繁叶茂、盘根错节的大榕树，树旁有一口古井，石碑上刻着"苔泉"。苔泉井是福州市保存较完好的一口千年古井，被誉为福州第一古井，《闽都记》称之为龙舌泉。北宋庆历五年(1045年)，著名书法家蔡襄以枢密直学士至福州时，得知苔泉井水质甘甜，常派人来取水泡茶。现井边墙上石刻"苔泉"两字，为蔡襄所题。
