Minnan, Banlam or Minnan Golden Triangle (Chinese: 闽南金三角; pinyin: Mǐnnán jīnsānjiǎo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bân-lâm kim-saⁿ-kak; lit. 'South Fujian Golden Triangle'), refers to the coastal region in South Fujian Province, China, which includes the prefecture-level cities of Xiamen, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou.[1] The region accounts for 40 percent of the GDP of Fujian Province.[2] It is the native homeland of the Hokkien people who speak the Hokkien language or Minnan language, a variety of Southern Min.[3]

Other terms used on the Minnan region include the one sinologist G. William Skinner used, which was the term Zhang-Quan (漳泉分区) to describe the region in his guide to the physiographic macroregions of China.
