What is "chongwu"

Chongwu Town is a township-level division of Hui'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture-level city, Fujian Province, China.

Chongwu Town is in the southeastern part of Hui'an County, on a peninsula jutting into Taiwan Strait. The town's historical center, the Old Chongwu Fortress (, Chongwu Gu Cheng) is a walled city dating to the late 14th century ( Hongwu Emperor's reign; the conventional date is 1384). The traditional Hui'an County vernacular architecture, making heavy use of the local granite, is largely preserved within the walled city. A large sculpture park is located on the narrow strip south of the fortress, between the city wall and the beach.

A significant amount of hospitality establishment, from luxury to budget hotels, are located outside the walled city.
