市舶司遗址
Why it belongs to the World Heritage story
Founded in 1087, the office helps explain that Quanzhou's maritime economy was institutional, supervised and connected to government.
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
A context stop on a downtown route rather than a standalone monument.
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.
