Chongwu Town (Chinese: 崇武镇) is a township-level division of Hui'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture-level city, Fujian Province, China.[1]
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 (Chinese: 崇武古城, Chongwu Gu Cheng) is a walled city dating to the late 14th century (Hongwu Emperor's reign; the conventional date is 1384).[2] 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.
