Meicheng is a town in Minqing County in northwestern Fuzhou Municipality, Fujian Province, in the People's Republic of China.
Fire from the soldiers at Meicheng (then romanized "Min-tsing" from its role as the seat of Minqing County) turned back an expedition by Karl Gützlaff and Edwin Stevens to explore and evangelize in Fujian's tea country in 1835.
