Quanzhou Jinjiang Wulin | Experience Nanyang style in a Minnan ancient village.

📆 I went to Quanzhou again this weekend! I really love Quanzhou, a city perfect for 🚶🏻‍♂️ city walks! Minnan-style architecture ⛩️, Nanyang style, and a leisurely pace of life are all reasons why I ❤️ love Quanzhou! But this time I didn't go to the old town, I went to Jinjiang [Wulin Ancient Village]. · 🏠 Wulin Traditional Village is located in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, in the center of the Minnan Golden Triangle, separated from Taiwan by a body of water, and surrounded by the sea on three sides. The village was formed during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, covering an area of about 1,000 mu, with a building area of 60,000 square meters, and more than 10,000 overseas Chinese living abroad. It is known as the "Museum of Overseas Chinese Architecture." · 🏡 Wulin Village has preserved a complete group of century-old buildings, mostly built from the early last century to around the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, including the mottled Chaodong Building, the Delong House covered by ancient banyan trees, the Deyang House known as the "Ninety-Nine Doors," the Xionghuai Motherland Building with peacocks flying in pairs, and the Dream Vegetable Family Voice Building, a single duplex apartment... These buildings, which carry the nostalgia of generations of Wulin people and overseas Chinese, are scattered in the 660-mu traditional ancient village. They include more than 200 Minnan official-style houses, Chinese and Western-style residences, Gothic architecture, and ancient Roman architecture 🏰. · ✨ As a typical and complete Minnan traditional village, Wulin has 89 buildings of various styles, including the Ming Dynasty Baifu Wall, Qing Dynasty official-style red brick houses, modern Gothic and Roman-style Western-style buildings, and Fanzi buildings, which silently tell the glorious glory of the century-old overseas Chinese village and convey the deep feelings of generations of overseas Chinese. · 🚏 It is 5 minutes from Quanzhou South Station of the Fuzhou-Xiamen High-Speed Railway, 15 minutes from Quanzhou International Airport, 15 minutes from Jinjiang City Center, 5 minutes from Shishi City, 30 minutes from Quanzhou, and 40 minutes from Xiamen.
