Fujian Province, abbreviated as Min, is located on China’s southeastern coast with Fuzhou as its capital.
It borders Zhejiang to the northeast, Jiangxi to the northwest, Guangdong to the southwest, and faces Taiwan across the Taiwan Strait to the southeast.
The terrain is characterized by mountains and hills, covering about 90% of the province’s total area, with a subtropical monsoon climate.
Fujian governs nine prefecture-level cities and Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone, covering 124,000 square kilometers of land and 136,000 square kilometers of sea.
The province’s rich history is marked by the maritime Silk Road, with Quanzhou and Fuzhou playing pivotal roles.
Fujian is home to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Wuyishan, Gulangyu, and Fujian Tulou.
