Why it belongs to the World Heritage story

Dehua provides one of the clearest links between historic exports, museum collections abroad and Quanzhou's continuing manufacturing identity.

Quanzhou's inscription is a serial property. The meaning of this site becomes clearer when it is connected to production, transport, administration, urban life or belief elsewhere in the city and region.

Planning a visit

Plan a dedicated county trip; introduce the story in a city museum first.

Confirm current opening access, transport and any ticket or reservation requirement shortly before travel. Chinese place names are worth saving for maps and taxi journeys.
