      But most of the things you mentioned—the delicious food, architecture, Western-style villas, cultural and creative products, etc.—are predominantly found within the old city area.

        Do you understand what 'most' means? I can communicate effortlessly in the Quanzhou dialect; it's basically the same as my hometown's dialect.

          As someone from Hefei who's lived in Quanzhou for over a decade, I have to say I still haven't grown to like the local culture, climate, food, or even the dialect.

            But isn't winter there much warmer than in Anhui? And summer isn't as hot as Anhui either. So why the dislike?

                Fuzhou is even more boring.

                    Don't go to Xi Street; it's always incredibly crowded. It's just like those touristy snack streets you find all over the country. Locals rarely go to Xi Street; we prefer exploring the smaller alleyways.

                          Quanzhou is essentially the ancestor of Taiwan. Think about it: how many years of history does Quanzhou have compared to Taiwan's relatively recent history?
