Features: Fujian and Guangdong provinces are located in the southern part of China. During the pre-Qin period, they were known as the land of the "Baiyue." After the five southward migrations of the Central Plains Han people during the Qin and Han dynasties, the indigenous inhabitants of these provinces and the Hakka people who settled there gradually blended Central Plains culture with local indigenous cultures, creating a glorious history and unique regional culture. Fujian is located on the east coast, facing the East China Sea, while Guangdong is on the south coast, bordering the South China Sea. The long coastline has endowed these provinces with exceptional geographical conditions. Both provinces were historically renowned starting points of the "Maritime Silk Road," contributing to China's economic and cultural exchanges with the outside world.
