Shanghang Road, Xiahang Road and their vicinity in Taijiang District of Fuzhou are commonly known as "Double Hangs". It refers to two parallel horizontal streets from Xiaoqiaotou to Damiao Road, which were the commercial center and maritime terminal of Fuzhou in the early years.
"Hangzhou" is actually derived from the sound of "Hangzhou", and there is a historical process of geographical change here. In ancient times, the Minjiang River bypassed Damiao Mountain, and Shanghang was the ferry terminal of Shanghang and Shanghang. This ancient block, once famous for its prosperous business, has always been an important place for folklore and history experts to study the commercial development of Fuzhou.
