Its permanent resident population is slightly above 34.7 million. Many minority ethnic groups live in Fujian province: Hui, Miao and Manchu.

Fujian has a year-round warm and humid climate. Annual average rainfall ranges from a low of 1,400 mm to a high of 2,000 mm, and annual average temperature from a low of 17
C to a high of 21C. It is hospitable in all seasons for travelers in this province.
What to see
Fujian is blessed with a rich history, famous historical sites and beautiful natural landscapes. These make Fujian a unique tourist attraction. However, it is not yet a much worn traveler's path.
Mount Wuyi (Wu Yi Shan) may enlighten you with its wonderland tour. Its beautiful mountains, vigorous rocks and limpid waters are legendary. Gulangyu Island, also called "the Garden on the Sea" by people in Xiamen, is a world of sea breezes, sunshine and exotic architecture with a Mediterranean flavor. Nanputuo Temple, among the four well-
known Buddhist shrines in the nation, has the longest and most prestigious history.
Earth Towers of the Hakkas in Yongding area are the much fabled mountain residences in this world of make believe. The industrious and facile Hui'an women in the south of Fujian add much to their folk customs. The Kaiyuan Temple looks splendid, glittering and grand despite its age. Fujian also is a place where famous national heroes like Lin Zexu and Zheng Chenggong lived and won their seats of honor in history books.
Oolong tea produced in Fujian is famous, so if you have a chance to visit this province, you must taste it there with relish.

-Many thanks.

Mr.Leo replied:
Never heard about Tangua. Please leave more clues about this place~ Maybe landmark, famous tour destination, or products~
Jun. 21,2009 07:20
Ms.Tam(Australia.) replied:
May I add that Tangua could be TangXua meaning China Mountain (in direct translation) or our China homeland. Amoy(Fujian pronounced) is also Xiamen (Mandarin pronounced).

Hello, I'll be going to Fujian sometime next month to visit my relatives. What are the tourist spots that I can visit? Is Fujian near to Great Wall of China?
Jun. 20,2009 22:03
Mr.Sandy replied:
Which city of Fujian do you want visit. At the mention of Fujian province, Mt Wuyi is a good choice. Well, the Great Wall is in North China and Fujian is a province in Southeast China. To see the Great Wall, suggest you go to Beijing.

Hi.., I'm planning to visit Fujian to visit my family. They are live in Tanyang Village, Panyang Can you please advise the route I should take.
I live in Doha,Qatar.
Can you please advise the best way to get to Fujian.
Thank you.
Jun. 9,2009 03:23
Mr.Jerry replied:
I don't find where is Panyang. There is a village called Tanyang in Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City. Do you mean this? It seems there is no direct flight from Doha to any cities of Fujina. Suggest you take a flight to Osaka or Shanghai and then transfer to Xiamen, which is closed to Zhangzhou City. You can get there by bus. If it is the place, I would like to help more if you need.

where to stay in Zhangzhou.fujian. want to visit a student at Zhangzhou Teachers college

Mr.Jack replied:
As I know, the Chinese universities do have their own hotels in or nearby the campus. So, you could ask your friend whether a hotel is available there. If not, you could consider the Zhangzhou Hotel or the Overseas Chinese Hotel located at the city center. And the fare is about 200RMN to 400RMB per night.
