Overview
Changle is the ancestral hometown for virtually all Fuzhounese Americans in New York City—making it 'Big Fuzhou' to those who know 'Little Fuzhou' in Queens. Development is funded entirely by remittances from abroad, creating a city of oversized mansions built by families who made it to America.

Culture
Changle's identity is defined by diaspora connections—nearly all Fuzhounese Americans trace roots here. Remittance-funded construction creates an unusual landscape of large homes.
