Tóng'ān

Tóng’ān lies on the southern Fújiàn coast, opposite the islands at the entrance to Xiàmén. First established as a county under the Western Jìn in 282, it was restored in 933 during the Five Dynasties. For centuries its jurisdiction included coastal lands and islands around Xiàmén and Jīnmén, linking the county seat to the maritime world of Quánzhōu.
