Hui'an people have long been engaged in quarrying local granite and using it for construction purposes. Traditional houses and other structures in the region are constructed from long narrow blocks of granite.

These days, Hui'an's stone workers have built on their experience by becoming manufacturers of stone statuary for China's temples, public places, businesses, and private residences. These days, the 25 km road (Huichong Highway) between the Hui'an County seat and the town of Chongwu is practically lined up with production plants and showrooms of stone-working companies, statues of all kinds displayed in front of them.

Footwear manufacturing is developed in a number of towns in the western part of the county, closer to Quanzhou.

The Hui'an Railway Station, on the Fuzhou-Xiamen Railway, is located about 8 km northwest of Hui'an's county seat, and is connected to it by a new divided highway (that passes through the 1680 m Dalingtou Tunnel [大嶺頭隧道]), with frequent local bus service. Although a lot fewer trains stop at Hui'an than at major stations such as Quanzhou, there is a train in each direction every hour or two during the day. There is no night service.

The freight-only Zhangping–Quanzhou–Xiaocuo Railway runs south of the county seat.
