Historical administrative division of China


Zhangzhou Prefecture (Chinese: 漳州府; pinyin: Zhāngzhōu Fǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chiang-chiu-hú) was a prefecture in Fujian Province in China's imperial and early republican eras. The region, especially its governmental/commercial centre, was long known to English-readers accustomed to Wade-Giles romanisation as Changchow fu.
