Why it belongs to the World Heritage story

It balances the maritime story with local governance, ritual order, scholarship and urban life.

Quanzhou's inscription is a serial property. The meaning of this site becomes clearer when it is connected to production, transport, administration, urban life or belief elsewhere in the city and region.

Planning a visit

Useful on a downtown walk focused on civic culture.

Confirm current opening access, transport and any ticket or reservation requirement shortly before travel. Chinese place names are worth saving for maps and taxi journeys.
