Zhangzhou Ancient City is now open for free! Located in the nationally recognized historic and cultural city of Zhangzhou, it is an important part of the Minnan Cultural Ecological Protection Experimental Zone. Situated in the city center, it combines historic architecture with traditional culture, featuring distinctive characteristics such as "Old Street Charm, Slow Life, Minnan Flavor, and Taiwanese Overseas Chinese Connections," with extremely rich cultural tourism resources.
