🗾 In Quanzhou, it is well-known that there are numerous Maritime Silk Road relics, but many may not know that in Baiqi Hui Ethnic Township, there lives a group of Arab descendants. Their ancestors were ancient Middle Eastern Persian traders who came to China for business.✅ 🕌 Baiqi Hui Ethnic Township is located on the southwest coast of the Quanzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone, formerly under Hui'an County. It faces Houzhu Port across the river and is one of the starting points of the Maritime Silk Road. Most people here have the surname Guo. Their ancestors were appointed by the imperial court to come to Quanzhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Due to wars, they were stranded here and after several relocations, they finally settled down in Baiqi, where they have been thriving for over six hundred years.✅ 🌟 Recommended highlights: The only Hui ethnic township among the 18 minority townships in Fujian ➕ The only Hui ethnic township in Quanzhou ➕ Ancient ferry ➕ Ancient pavilion ➕ Ancient temple ➕ Ancestral halls with Ming Dynasty architectural style ➕ Baiqi ancient residential area ➕ Islamic style architecture ➕ Niche and free✅ 📷 Recommended photo spots: Baiqi Ancient Ferry ➡️ Jieguan Pavilion ➡️ Zheng He Dyke ➡️ Zhenhai Palace ➡️ Guo Family Ancestral Hall ➡️ Baiqi Ancient Residential Cluster✅ 🔷 Nearby: Maritime Silk Road Park, Baiqi Lake✅ ⚠️ The photos were not taken on the same day.
