Zhangpu County

Zhangpu County is an administrative division in Zhangzhou located in southern Fujian, stretching across a large area near the Taiwan Strait. The county contains multiple towns and townships arranged across its territory, with the county seat serving as the main urban center.

The area has been inhabited since ancient times and developed into an important administrative center through various periods. Its coastal location made it significant for military and commercial activities across different eras.

The county is home to traditional earth buildings called tulou, which are round or square structures where large families live together in a single enclosed compound.

The area is well connected by coastal highways and railway lines, making it relatively easy to reach. The railway station near the county seat is a good starting point for exploring the different areas.

The area is known for its salt production using methods that have remained unchanged for generations. Visitors can still observe this traditional craft being practiced today.
