Chen Jinglan Western-style House
Chen Jinglan Western-style House is undoubtedly the most well-preserved and beautiful Western-style house in Kinmen. Even tour groups charter buses to visit. To take good photos, you must avoid these groups. Although it is located in a remote area, it is well worth the visit because you can take stunning photos.
Chen Jinglan Western-style House was built in 1921 by an overseas Chinese businessman returning from Singapore to honor his family. It is currently the largest Western-style house in Kinmen. The exterior is pure white, symmetrical on both sides, and decorated with many carvings.
This two-story building was once used as a rest center for soldiers, so even today, some soldiers have fond memories of this place. The blue window sills on the second floor make a striking backdrop for photos, especially if you wear brightly colored clothes. The second-floor terrace is also an excellent spot for photos. With the Western-style house as the background, wearing a vintage dress for photos adds a nostalgic touch!
