The ancient city of Chongwu in Quanzhou has always been memorable. The antique courtyard shows the elegance left by the historical changes. The southern Fujian elements are interspersed with the low-rise buildings. The Southern Songs on the wall, the floral costumes worn by the grandmother, and the meatballs that the hospitable locals invited us to eat all tell the inclusiveness, enthusiasm and charm of Minnan culture.
