Three lanes and seven alleys started in Jin, became in Tang and Five Dynasties, and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient lanes and alleys have remained basically intact up to now. There are more than 200 ancient buildings in the lanes and alleys, which is a rare "Ming and Qing Architectural Museum". From here, many outstanding people, such as Lin Zexu, Shen Baozhen, Yan Fu, Chen Baochen, Lin Juemin, Lin Xu, Bingxin and Lin Shu, who had an important influence on the society at that time and the process of modern China, were known as "the habitat of famous people in Fujian Province".
