Quanzhou




Quanzhou (Chinese:泉州; Pe̍h-ōe-jī:Choâⁿ-chiu), formerly known as Zayton, is the largest city of Fujian Province, China. It borders all other prefecture-level cities in Fujian but two (Ningde and Nanping) and faces the Taiwan Strait. In older English works, its name may appear as Chinchew, Chinchu, Choanchew, or Zayton, from Arabic.
