三坊七巷位于福州城市中轴线的核心段，是我国现存规模较大、保护较为完整的历史文化街区，被誉为“里坊制度活化石”。白墙灰瓦、马鞍墙错落连片，古老的坊巷格局至今基本保存完整。
Situated at the heart of Fuzhou's historic central axis, Three Lanes and Seven Alleys stands as a large and well-preserved historical and cultural district in China. Widely celebrated as a "living fossil of the lifang (residential ward) system", it retains its ancient grid layout lined with white walls, gray tiles, and continuous, distinctive horse saddle-shaped walls.
这里走出严复、冰心等四百多位历史名人，林则徐的纪念祠堂——林则徐纪念馆，亦坐落于坊巷之侧。古厝老宅与远处现代楼宇相映，千年坊巷在古今交融中延续着福州的城市文脉。
More than 400 notable figures lived here throughout history, including pioneering thinker Yan Fu (1854-1921) and celebrated author Bing Xin (1900-99), while the memorial hall dedicated to the eminent statesman Lin Zexu (1785-1850) stands right along the lanes. Today, centuries-old residences stand alongside modern city buildings, preserving Fuzhou's vibrant cultural lineage through a seamless blend of past and present.
