[2025 Jinjiang Attraction] Travel Guide for Wulin Traditional Village (Updated Jan)

Previously, during a half-day layover in Quanzhou, I discovered a serene corner hidden away from the modern hustle and bustle, about 20 minutes' drive (10 kilometers) from the airport—Wulin Traditional Village. Unlike the bustling West Street adorned with flowers, it quietly stands there, with its distinctive red brick and white stone buildings that blend Minnan and Nanyang styles, telling the story of overseas Chinese's love for their homeland. · 🌲Before entering the village, you can see towering phoenix trees from afar, with their fiery red flowers in full bloom, seemingly welcoming visitors from afar and calling out to wanderers. 🏠Upon entering the village, you will see rows of red brick and white stone buildings, with various deities and mythical creatures on the swallowtail ridges, each with its own unique features. 🏰As you go further in, you will see Western-style buildings such as the Chaodong Building, the Spanish-style Qiaopi Museum built with red bricks, and the Roman-style Western-style building "Gun Tower". They all bear witness to the overseas Chinese who ventured out to explore the new world but never forgot their homeland and gave back to their hometown. 🌟Recommended spots to check out: ✅Chaodong Building ✅Qiaopi Museum ✅Gun Tower ✅Five-story House ✅Juruo Ancient House Bookstore. Ladies can also change into Peranakan costumes here to experience the Nanyang style. What impressed me the most was a coffee shop here where the latte art was actually the God of Wealth, truly reflecting the Fujian people's love and longing for wealth . 👉Directions: 📌Wulin Traditional Village, Jinjiang, Quanzhou 🚗About 20 minutes by taxi from Quanzhou Airport, about 40 minutes by car from the city center 🎫No entrance fee, there is a shuttle bus at the entrance to the village (about a 10-minute walk from the entrance to the village) · I am Gungun, a middle-aged girl who loves photography and hopes to share various experiences along the way with you. May you set off with anticipation after seeing Gungun's sharing and return with joy.

Don't just know to go to West Street and Zanhua when you go to Quanzhou~😆 If you want to avoid the crowd and feel the Minnan ancient house style, 🛖 you must go to this Nanyang ancient village in Quanzhou that has a history of 600 years‼️ 📍Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village 🎫No tickets required 🚗I took a taxi from the airport after getting off the plane, it only takes 15 minutes, and it takes about 50 minutes from Quanzhou city The buildings here are very distinctive, 📷 there are many photo spots, and you can also experience the Nyonya costume, which can better integrate into the scene. 📷Share my machine position, but there are more beautiful places that you can discover while walking around✅ 👉Chaodong Building, Five-story House, Pit Wall Building, Stage, Bridge Batch Hall, Gun Building, etc. I personally suggest that you can rush here the day you get off the ✈️ plane or the day you are going to fly away, leaving 2-3h is enough, because it is very close to the airport and will not detour.

Compared to the crowded West Street, I prefer this century-old village in Quanzhou. With a history of over 600 years, It combines Chinese, Western and Minnan architectural styles, It's really photogenic here! . 📍Quanzhou Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village 🚗About 20 minutes from the airport, about 40 minutes drive from West Street . The Wulin traditional village was built by overseas Chinese who returned home years ago, so it has both Western style and Minnan characteristics. . Travel Tips: ✔️The Chaodong Tower at the entrance is the most photogenic one, with a strong Western Roman style, both the front and the inside are very photogenic. . ✔️The wall and tree at the entrance of the visitor center, when the sun is out, the light and shadow are super beautiful! . ✔️The old houses and alleys, red walls and tiles, any corner is very photogenic! . It is recommended to reserve half a day for a visit here, you can change into a Nyonya costume~ I just happened to have a hairpin flower that day, so I didn't change. . Thank you for reading, see you next time👋🏻

Take bus K901 from Quanzhou Ancient City for about 1 hour, then follow the navigation through the wilderness to the unique 4A scenic spot "Wulin Traditional Village". In the Minnan-style residential buildings, there are also Nanyang-style Fanzi buildings, as well as modern Gothic and Roman-style old Western-style buildings. Chaodong Building, Gun Building, Delong Building, etc. Most of these buildings were designed by foreign designers, using modern building techniques such as reinforced concrete, and cleverly combining Minnan characteristics with exotic styles. In the late Qing Dynasty, some people in Wulin began to live overseas. In that poor and turbulent era, it was not easy to make a living across the ocean. When the Minnan people first arrived in Nanyang, they stood firm and earned their first pot of gold with their spirit of daring to win. Since the 1920s, it has become a trend for overseas Chinese in Wulin to return to their hometowns to "build big houses". They have successively built Minnan red brick houses, modern Gothic, Roman-style Western-style buildings, Fanzi buildings, and other buildings. At present, there are only 1,500 people here, but more than 10,000 overseas Chinese live abroad. Every Minnan ancient house, Fanzi building, and Western-style building has a story of an overseas Chinese who is diligent and loves his hometown. "Wulin Traditional Village" is located in the southwest of Xintang Street, Jinjiang City, Fujian Province, backed by Shigu Mountain and facing Wuan Creek, covering an area of about 1,000 mu. It is known as the "Overseas Chinese Architecture Museum" and is a typical and complete Minnan traditional village, open to the public for free.
