Moderate　Resolution　Imaging　Spectroradiometer　(MODIS)　Land　Surface　Temperature　(LST)　data　of　MODIS　11A2　and　Normalized　Difference　Vegetation　Index　(NDVI)　products　of　MODIS　13Q1　were　used　to　analyse　the　spatial　and　temporal　changes　of　LST　and　its　relationship　with　vegetation　from　2001　to　2015　in　the　subtropical　region　of　Fujian　Province,　China.　The　LST　and　NDVI　products　were　reconstructed　by　Savitzky-Golay　(S-G)　filtering　for　abnormal　values　or　missing　data　due　to　the　influence　of　cloud　contamination.　The　LST　of　Fujian　decreases　from　its　southeast　coast　to　its　northwest　mountain　area,　and　the　annual　average　highest　LST　is　greater　than　30　degrees　C　while　the　lowest　LST　is　about　15　degrees　C.　In　the　past　15　years,　the　average　LST　in　Fujian　has　declined　gradually　due　to　an　increase　in　fractional　vegetation　coverage　(FVC),　but　the　highest　LST　increased　from　30.95　degrees　C　to　33.05　degrees　C　across　south-east　coastal　zone　cities　due　to　rapid　urbanization.　From　2001　to　2015,　the　LST　of　Fujian　Province　trended　slightly　downward;　the　LST　area,　however,　significantly　decreased　by　18.85%　of　the　total　area　of　the　province　and　was　twice　that　of　the　(significant)　increase　in　LST.　The　changing　trend　distributions　of　LST　are　opposite　to　those　of　FVC　in　general,　but　LST　decreases　to　greater　extent　as　FVC　increases　when　FVC　is　above　0.2　-　every　10%　increase　in　FVC　is　accompanied　by　about　a　1.1　degrees　C　decrease　in　LST.
