Xiamen was one of the first cities in China classified as an Economic Zone for development, and a large portion of investments made in the provinces comes from Taiwan due to its close proximity. In December of 2008, a direct transport route was opened up with Taiwan - direct flights from Taiwan to major Fujian cities commenced, and major ports in Xiamen, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou will upgrade the port infrastructure for increased economic trade with Taiwan.

There is a famous local adage that says: "if you drive more than five miles in Fujian the culture changes, and if you drive more than ten miles, the language does." In general, most dialects of of Fujian province are put in a broad Min category, then subdivided into Min Bei, Min Dong, Min Zhong, Min Nan, Pu Xian, and Shao Jiang.
