China’s Fujian province eyes Davao tourists after Davao-Jinjiang City sisterhood pact

ct flights between the two cities in December 2018.

Jinjiang City and the Fujian Provincial Government recently invited mediamen from Davao City for a familiarization tour to further promote the Chinese city to fellow Davaoeños. "Apart from Manila, Davao City has a large number of overseas Jinjiang people, who are doing business over there. They have this business alliance to push locally in their people level to push for a closer relationship between Davao and Jinjiang City," said Nathan Zhang, a staff from Fujian Provincial Foreign Affairs Office.Guansheng said over 13,000 Filipinos went to Fujian last year, while more than 10,000 have visited the province in the first nine months of 2019.

Rizal was said to be a 22nd-generation descendant of the Ke family, who settled in Shang-Guo village in Jinjiang City. For shoppers and those looking for souvenirs, Jinjiang City has several malls and shopping centers, including a familiar brand among Filipinos -- the SM City Jinjiang, which resembles SM malls in the Philippines, save for the Chinese signages and Chinese brands.

If you are into Chinese culture and history, make sure to visit the Quanzhou Maritime Museum in Quanzhou City, which shows the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, as Quanzhou was the center of overseas trade activities in ancient China. Cultural and religious relics, as well as shipwrecks and models of ancient vessels, were preserved given the great historical significance of Quanzhou Bay. Many Chinese also departed from here and sailed to the Philippines to trade with the Filipinos.

Nice to see different provinces of China to help each other! Keep it up!
