Phoenix flavor was originally a peninsula, and it was built in the twenty years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, with smaller specifications. During Qin Long's Ren Shen period, the city was built around the city, and the moat protected the city, which was compatible with the folk houses. There are four doors in the southeast and northwest. During the period of Kuomintang rule, the majestic city wall was demolished by the Kuomintang government, leaving only four gates faintly discernible. In addition, the primary schools with real economic difficulties also demolished the school buildings of urban infrastructure, which eventually led to almost no whole wall.

After a series of man-made destruction and wind and rain erosion, the ancient city is now "no city". During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, when the national economy was seriously backward, the Fengwei economy was thriving, which was a miracle.

At that time, the Japanese imposed a total blockade on the coast of China. Fishermen who live by the sea can hardly fish in the sea, and their economy is very backward. However, with their extraordinary wisdom, courage and navigation skills, Fengwei fishermen avoided the heavy blockade of the enemy and opened up a quite unique maritime trade route. There are more than 80 white fishing boats 180 with 60-80 tons, and 48 large wooden boats with 300-1600 tons. Most of them operate in the form of joint-stock system, and carry commodities such as sugar, salt and cloth to and from shenjiamen, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangdong, Shandong, Taiwan Province, Hongkong and Malaysia for trade all the year round.

The high profits of maritime trade not only make the fishermen and farmers in Fengwei become shareholders, but also attract businessmen from Jinjiang, Nan 'an, Anxi, Putian, Xianyou and other provinces to participate in stock trading and consignment, and open shops, restaurants and teahouses in the city. There are 23 shops and more than 60 shops, such as cloth shops, pharmacies, restaurants and teahouses, in the small city of Fengwei. The famous merchant ships "shenjiamen Xing" and "Taiwan Province Xing" are famous at home and abroad, attracting many businessmen to trade, participate in shares or open their own stores. There are many businessmen and ships in Fengwei City. In the evening, the orchestra plays and sings all night, the phonograph keeps ringing, and Puxian Opera is staged from time to time. At that time, there was a sea of people here, bustling and bustling, just like a city that never sleeps, and it was known as "little shanghai". When the surrounding businessmen came to Fengwei for trade, they could eat and stay for free, which showed the prosperity of Fengwei economy at that time.
