Fujian, a coastal province in southeastern China, is a hilly region famed for tea—think oolong—and historic maritime trade via cities like Xiamen and Fuzhou. Its tulou, fortified earthen homes of the Hakka people, are UNESCO treasures, while Quanzhou’s Silk Road past echoes in its temples. Fujian’s economy thrives on manufacturing, shipping, and ties to Taiwan, just across the strait. Its subtropical climate and seafaring heritage shape a dynamic, outward-looking identity.
