Once the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou in East China's Fujian province continues to tell the stories of global trade — past and present.

At the Quanzhou Maritime Museum, historical relics recall sea-bound exchanges when the city was a major hub in Song and Yuan dynasties. The legacy lives on at the Shishi Cross-Border E-Commerce Public Service Center, where digital trade is redefining the future.

From centuries-old ceramics to real-time smart logistics, Quanzhou connects tradition with transformation — showing how trade evolves, adapts, and endures.
