"Tracing My Hokkien Roots in Quanzhou, China 🇨🇳 | Ancestral Journey to the Heart of Minnan Culture"

Join me on an emotional journey back to Quanzhou (泉州), the ancient port city in Fujian Province where my Hokkien (Minnan) ancestors once lived! As a descendant of the Hokkien diaspora, I traveled to this UNESCO-listed city to reconnect with my roots, explore centuries-old traditions, and walk the same streets my family might have centuries ago.

🌍 Why Quanzhou?
Quanzhou was not only the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road but also the homeland of many Hokkien people who later migrated to Southeast Asia and beyond. If your family speaks Hokkien (Minnan dialect), worships Mazu, or enjoys Hokkien mee, bak kut teh, or kway teow, this might be your ancestral home too!

💡 What I Learned:
How Quanzhou’s maritime history led to the Hokkien diaspora.
The deep connection between Hokkien traditions in Malaysia/Singapore/Indonesia/ Philippines and their origins here.
Why Mazu worship (海上女神) is still so strong among overseas Hokkien communities.

This trip wasn’t just about travel—it was about coming home. If you’re Hokkien, or Peranakan, this might be your story too.
