 Fujian
is
one
of
the
provinces
on
the
southeast
coast
of
China.
Fujian
borders
Zhejiang
to
the
north,
Jiangxi
to
the
west,
and
Guangdong
to
the
south.
Taiwan
lies
to
the
east,
across
the
Taiwan
Strait.
The
name
Fujian
comes
from
the
combination
of
Fuzhou
and
Jian'ou,
two
cities
in
Fujian.
The
name
was
coined
during
Tang
Dynasty.
Most
of
Fujian
is
administered
by
the
People's
Republic
of
China.
However,
the
archipelagos
of
Kinmen
and
Matsu
are
under
the
control
of
the
Republic
of
China
based
in
Taiwan.
Thus,
there
are
two
provinces
(in
the
sense
of
government
organizations;
Fujian
and
Fujian)
with
the
same
name. |
