Quanzhou

Quanzhou (Chinese: 泉州; pinyin: Quánzhōu) is a prefecture-level city in southeastern Fujian province, People's Republic of 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 or Chinchu. In medieval Western accounts it is known as Zaytun or Zaitun, from the Arabic transcription (زيتون). The People's Republic of China claims Jinmen County — more widely known as Quemoy — as part of Quanzhou, but the territory is currently under the jurisdiction of Taiwan. Area code: 595
