City Overview
Quanzhou has long led Fujian in economic output and is the start of the ancient Maritime Silk Road (the Song-Yuan "greatest port of the East"), inscribed as World Heritage in 2021. Private manufacturing thrives (shoes, apparel, textiles, food — birthplace of brands like Anta and Xtep), with a strong overseas-Chinese and Minnan culture. Cost of living and housing are low; the climate is warm.
