By train

Most of Quanzhou's railway connections operate only within the counties or districts belonging to Quanzhou plus a few cities in neighboring provinces, so it's not very convenient for you to get there by train. However, you can travel to Xiamen Railway Station and then change a bus to Quanzhou from the Wucun Bus Station situated opposite to the railway terminus. Between 6:20 in the morning until 20: 30, the buses run every 20 minutes. Usually it will cost you about CNY32; drive time is between one and two hours depending upon local conditions.

Alternatively if your approach is via Fuzhou Railway Station, you can take the luxury bus directly from Fuzhou to Quanzhou. These buses operate from the Fuzhou North Long-Distance Bus Station near the railway station. The earliest bus starts at 6:30 and the last one leaves at 19:30; the buses operate at 20 minute intervals. It will take you two to three hours and the ticket price is from CNY50 to CNY70.
