In pics: ancient village of Min'an in Tingjiang Town, China's Fuzhou

Aerial photo taken on Oct. 17, 2018 shows the ancient village of Min'an in Tingjiang Town of Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian Province. Located at the mouth of the Minjiang River, the Min'an ancient village had long played an important role in sea transport and military defense since the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) with its advantageous location. Nowdays, many well-preserved historical sites in the village give it a chance to be awarded as one of China's historic and cultural villages in 2010. (Xinhua/Lin Shanchuan)
