Economy [link]
Fuqing is situated 45 kilometres (28 mi) to the south from Changle International Airport. This city nowadays grows as an industrial area, supported by a good infrastructure of Fuzhou–Quanzhou Highway, Fuzhou–Xiamen Railway (Fuqing Railway Station), and a port (Fuqing Port, 福清港) on the Taiwan Strait.
Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant is under construction near Sanshan Town, on the southern coast of the county.
Overseas Fuqing [link]
Fuqing, as well as most of the entire Fujian province, is known for its large number of overseas workers, or huaqiao. The most common destinations are Japan and England, while others go to Australia, Canada, and the United States.
Local dialect [link]
Fuqing has its own dialect which is closely related to the Fuzhou dialect, although the two are not completely mutually intelligible. Since it is a hilly area where mountains used to isolate each village, there are many variations in the local dialects. Most of its people can also speak Mandarin, which is used in schools, businesses, and to communicate with people from different parts of the province. Fuqing people now are becoming more and more proud of their dialects. Songs sung in Fuqing dialect are available online.
Regional foods [link]
Guangbing(光饼): Guangbing is a bread product that is baked and shaped like a sesame-seeded burger bun top. In the year of 1562, the Japanese invaded Fujian province. General Jiguang Qi was charged to drive the invaders out of Fujian. In order not to let the meal time slow down their marching speed, General Qi invented a kind of bread which was shaped into a ring at that time, so his soldiers could wear a string of those breads around their neck. After the victory, the recipe of this bread product was spread throughout the province and named Guangbing after General Qi. Nowadays, there is no longer a hole in the center of a Guangbing.

Fuqing (Manchu general)
Fuqing (傅清; Died 1750) was a Manchu who began his career in the Imperial Guard, and in 1744 was sent as Resident to Tibet where he remained until the danger of a Tibetan-Dzungar alliance seemed over. The last king of Tibet would not submit to the tutelage of China, and having poisoned his elder brother, proceeded to prepare for revolt. Fuqing returned with all speed and slew the king in the Chinese Residency, whither he had lured him, the result being a popular rising in which he and his staff perished. The present government system of four Kablon under the Dalai and Panchen Lamas was then established. The Resident’s guard was raised to 1500 men, and all intercourse with Tibet and Dzungaria was forbidden. The Qianlong Emperor published a special decree defending the treachery of Fuqing, and ennobled his heir as Viscount. Canonised and included in the Temple of Worthies.
