QINGTIAN PEOPLE RETURN WITH WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE

Zhejiang county sees natives come back from overseas to benefit, build nation

Nestled in the southeastern part of Zhejiang province, the small mountainous county of Qingtian is a place of quiet beauty and unexpected global influence.

With a modest population of 568,800, Qingtian sits at the end of transportation lines, far from national borders and devoid of seaports. Yet, against the odds this secluded county has astonishingly produced over 381,000 overseas Chinese scattered across 146 countries and regions.

In Qingtian, almost every family has a relative working abroad. These overseas Chinese have been building bridges between their hometown and their host countries, turning Qingtian into a melting pot of cultures, a fusion of Chinese tradition and international flair.
