Where is Zhangzhou anyways?


Zhangzhou is a "smaller" Chinese city, located in Fujian Province. It is about an hour's drive from Xiamen - across the way from Taiwan, or in the map below, the "Chinese Taipei". According to Wikipedia today, the population is more than 3.7 million people, so more than a million people more than Toronto, ON.
None of the larger maps of China showed Zhangzhou, so I've to posted some larger maps.

Other cities I visited during my 10 month stay in China included Xiamen, Hong Kong, Sanya, Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, as well as a number of smaller towns that would almost never appear on a map.
