Zhangzhou City
Southern Fujian's land of flowers and fruit, with Zhangzhou Ancient City, a coastal volcanic landscape, tulou earthen buildings and the seascapes of Dongshan Island.
Zhangzhou City lies at the southern tip of Fujian, next to Guangdong, with a warm climate and abundant fruit and flowers. Zhangzhou Ancient City retains its arcaded streets and southern Fujian daily life. The Coastal Volcano National Geological Park shows off basalt columnar jointing. Dongshan Island has the Guandi Temple, the Wind-Moved Rock and several beaches. The tulou of Nanjing and Hua'an are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Fujian Tulou." Autumn through the following spring is best for visiting; summer suits the seaside but beware of typhoons. You can arrive via nearby Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport or high-speed rail stations such as Zhangzhou and Zhangzhou South.
