Overview
Quanzhou is a port in south-east China, where Muslim merchants lived in the Middle Ages. It has an old mosque dating from 1009 CE. 1
The data notes that it may be meant as Khanqu, the city of merchants and wealth, forty farsakhs long, in the reports of Abu Dulaf on China. 2
An additional source is needed: the Arabic summary awaits review against the specialist references.
