A folding reclining chair with arms that is convenient to carry and is comfortable and safe for use in households, outdoors, in courtyards, in parks, and at beaches. The folding reclining chair has a left-right symmetrical structure that includes a reclining chair body support, arms, and a reclining chair plane. The reclining chair body support includes a front support and a rear support. The front support includes a foot-rest rod, a front leg tube, a front support rod, a rear support rod, a connection rod, and front crossed rods. The rear support includes a seating frame rod, a back-rest tube, middle crossed rods, and a rear crossed rod. The reclining chair body support structure has high strength because the reclining chair body foot-rest rod, the front support rod, rear support rod, and connection rod form a quadrangular structure, and the rear support uses a crossed support and has folding arms.
