Alternativa: Metro + Bus 3-Day Pass (地铁公交三日票) CNY 50 — Worth it if you'll take frequent metro/bus trips over 3 days (unlimited rides once activated);

Fuzhou explicitly confirms foreign bank cards (Visa/Mastercard/JCB/Diners Club/Discover) can be bound directly in Alipay for metro/bus ride codes —
one of the more foreigner-friendly systems among Chinese cities.
Alipay also has a 'travel together' feature letting one phone/account scan up to 3 people through gates together.
