南外宗正司遗址
Why it belongs to the World Heritage story
The site places the port inside the political and social world of the Song dynasty, not outside it.
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
A short interpretive stop for visitors going deeper into downtown history.
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.
