"I have been an English teacher in the Quanzhou Julong International Foreign Language School for about 4 years now and have loved every minute of it!! The school and town is very special with amazing scenery and fantastic facilities! Being beside the mountains gives us lovely fresh air. The kindness & heart-warming residents of our private community beats living in any other place for me!! The students are the most amazing students I have ever taught and have such a passion for learning English. Every day is a new adventure for me and all the other foreign teachers in the school!”

Campus

Quanzhou, formerly known as Chinchew, is a prefecture-level city beside the Taiwan Strait in Fujian Province, China. Its is Fujian’s largest metropolitan region, with an area of 11,245 square kilometers (4,342 sq mi) and, as of the 2010 census, a population of 8,128,530. Its built-up area is home to 6,107,475 inhabitants, encompassing the Licheng, Fengze, and Luojiang urban districts; Jinjiang, Nan’an, and Shishi cities; Hui’an County; and the Quanzhou District for Taiwanese Investment. Quanzhou was China’s 12th-largest extended metropolitan area in 2010.

Quanzhou was China’s major port for foreign traders, who knew it as Zaiton, during the 11th through 14th centuries. It was visited by both Marco Polo and Ibn Battuta; both travelers praised it as one of the most prosperous and glorious cities in the world. It was the naval base from which the Mongol attacks on Japan and Java were primarily launched and a cosmopolitan center with Buddhist and Hindu temples, Islamic mosques, and Christian churches, including a Catholic cathedral and Franciscan monasteries. A failed revolt prompted a massacre of the city’s foreign communities in 1357. Economic dislocations—including piracy and an imperial overreaction to it during the Ming and Qing—reduced its prosperity, with Japanese trade shifting to Ningbo and Zhapu and other foreign trade restricted to Guangzhou. Quanzhou became an opium-smuggling center in the 19th century but the siltation of its harbor long reduced its capacity for trade by larger ships.
