	Quanzhou: Introduction
		Quanzhou (pronounced to English-speakers like "Chwen-Joe") is a prefectural-level city in Fujian Province on the southeast coast of China, facing Taiwan across the Strait.
		Quanzhou is now only a medium-sized urban centre, but this port city was once one of China's principal windows on the world.
		By the nineteenth century, Quanzhou was eclipsed by its neighbours, Xiamen (also known as Amoy) and Fuzhou, both "treaty ports" that expanded greatly during the era of European colonialism.

		Quanzhou was at the hub of a network of trade routes that extended throughout South-East Asia, and to India, the Middle East and beyond.

		Because Quanzhou was famed for its coral trees, since the Tang dynasty (618-907) it had been known informally as the "city of coral trees" (citong cheng åºæ¡å), and this literary epithet was later adopted as ZaitÃºn "olive tree" by Arab traders.
