The Nanyang architectural style of Quanzhou represents the rich cultural heritage of southern China, reflecting a harmonious blend of Chinese and Western architectural elements. This unique style emerged from the influence of overseas Chinese who returned from Southeast Asia. After accumulating wealth abroad, they brought back the Nanyang architectural style and materials, seamlessly integrating them with the traditional southern style of Chinese architecture. The result is the distinctive and captivating Nanyang architectural style that graces Quanzhou today.
