Zhangzhou is a prefecture-level city in southern Fujian province, People's Republic of China. Located on the banks of the Xi River, Zhangzhou borders the cities of Xiamen and Quanzhou to the northeast, Longyan City to the northwest and the province of Guangdong to the southwest.
In older English works, its name may appear as Chang-Chow or Changchow.
The main dialect spoken in Zhangzhou is Min Nan. But officially, people use Standard Mandarin in government, commerce and official business. |
