As a famous natural port in ancient times, "Song and Yuan China World Marine Trade Center". The thick history has left a proud "world heritage" for Quanzhou, and at the same time, it has also brought a brilliant and numerous "intangible cultural heritage" to Quanzhou.

Digital cultural creation has now become a major opportunity for the development of digital economy in many places.
