Putian, Prefecture-level city in eastern Fujian Province, China

The city extends along the Taiwan Strait coastline with the Mulan River flowing through its districts of Chengxiang, Hanjiang, Licheng, and Xiuyu.

The administrative region of Putian originated in 568 during the Chen dynasty and transformed into a military city by 979 under subsequent rulers.

The Meizhou Island within Putian houses the principal temple of Mazu, where October ceremonies mark the celebration of this maritime deity.

Transportation connections include rail networks and nearby airports in Quanzhou Jinjiang and Fuzhou Changle, with a new airport under construction.

Putian manufactures footwear for international brands, developing into a major production center with specialized shoe-making facilities across its districts.
