Zhangzhou.

Zhangzhou names both an urban centre and a wider prefecture with strikingly different landscapes. Its historic city invites attention to stone archways, narrow houses and commercial thresholds. Inland, Tianluokeng, Hekeng and the Yunshuiyao area reveal distinct relationships between earthen buildings, slopes and water. On Dongshan Island, livelihoods and devotion face a working sea. Glove puppetry adds another scale entirely: a character brought to life through the movement of a trained hand. The connections emerge through materials, skills and shared spaces rather than a single signature monument.
