Quanzhou: The Mainland City That's Basically Taiwan.

[Kathryn Hermiston]

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

[Mrs. Beverly Glover-Crist]

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.

[Helen Gleason]

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

[Cathy Gulgowski]

Quanzhou is so boring...

[Ms. Wanda Kilback]

Fuzhou is even more boring.

[Terrence Beer]

So, where would you recommend going, dear?

[Lula Schmidt]

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.

@十一一 (Eleven Yi) Let's go to Fujian together!

[Mattie Lockman]

Let me save up a bit first.

[Edith Friesen]

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?
