Zayton Rediscovered: A Weekend in Historic Quanzhou

Embark on a voyage of legend and philosophy in the place where faraway lands meet, at the entrance of the ancient Maritime Silk Road: Quanzhou.

The coastal city of Quanzhou has centered its prosperity and survival on its maritime trade, proving to be a key port during the use of the Maritime Silk Road. Its key location proved to be a portal into other worlds, such as South Asia, and lands further afield, meaning Quanzhou became a multicultural hub.

Today decadent mosques and Arabic architecture can be observed as a result of this cultural trade. Quanzhou is laden with features evocative of the medieval era, with stone statues distinctively laid out as landmarks. But today Quanzhou is a hub for economic investment, now well connected by land and a marketplace for a cornucopia of imports and products.
