Quanzhou Treasure Jiangkou Wharf: Witness the visit of “businessmen from all over the world”, why this wharf is so popular around the world - China News Network Video

　　In 2003, in order to meet the needs of urban development and construction, an archaeological team came to Fashi Port in Quanzhou to conduct rescue archaeological excavations at the Jiangkou Wharf in Fashi Port. During this excavation, unearthed cultural relics such as blue-white and sauce-glazed porcelain pieces from the Song and Yuan Dynasties were discovered, which also brought Jiangkou Wharf into people's sight again.

　　Jiangkou Wharf consists of Wenxing Wharf and Meishan Wharf. It is located at the throat where the river and the sea meet. Domestic flights can enter the city along the river, and foreign flights can sail out to sea. So far, it also plays a transshipment function in shipping in the waters along the Jinjiang River.

　　The end of the rescue archaeological excavation is only the beginning of the historical research and display of Jiangkou Wharf. From historical records, people have discovered the former glory of Jiangkou Wharf and Fashi Port. At that time, Fashi was bustling with people, shops, and goods. With its unique "geographical location" and "timing time" with Quanzhou's prosperous foreign transportation and trade in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it became an important exchange channel for overseas merchants and trade. Shihu Wharf and others together formed the pattern of ancient Quanzhou clustered ports.

　　In addition, Fashi was also a gathering place for Arab merchants. Pu Shougeng, an Arab who was in charge of Quanzhou Shipping Department, owned a lot of private ships and had been engaged in overseas trade for decades. He also followed the practice of Persian merchants in building buildings high on the coast to watch ships, and built the "Haiyun Tower" on Fashi Baojue Mountain. , to watch the ships sent overseas coming in and out.

　　Jinjiang River is sparkling, and a Buddhist sutra printing tower stands beside Wenxing Pier. Standing next to this ancient wind-suppressing tower, you can seem to see the grand scene of ships from various countries loading and unloading amidst the sound of rising seas.
