Earlier this week, the China National Tourism Administration published a list of the most popular cities in East China's Fujian province for 2014, using cell phone roaming data acquired from a service provider. Xiamen, Quanzhou and Fuzhou topped the list, with Xiamen standing out due to the number of visits to the city so far this year, and Quanzhou also topping the list based on the number of travelers who have spent the night there during the first half of 2014.
