Where does Nanyang refer to?

It refers to the name of Southeast Asia centered on China, including Thailand, Myanmar and other countries in Southeast Asia. Nanyang also includes Malay Archipelago, Philippine Archipelago and Indonesian Archipelago, as well as the coastal areas of Indo-China Peninsula and Malay Peninsula.

Many overseas Chinese compatriots live in these countries, and their living habits and customs also retain the culture of China. They are still popular countries for China tourists to travel abroad.

Perhaps it is the fact that there are many overseas Chinese compatriots in Southeast Asia that attracts many China tourists to travel and experience exotic customs, but at the same time there is no strangeness in a foreign country. For example, in "Nanyang" Singapore, local Chinese account for 74.2% of the national residents. Most of their ancestors came from Fujian and Guangdong, mostly from southern Fujian and Chaoshan. Therefore, when traveling in Singapore, it is very common for locals to communicate with tourists in Chinese.
