A Day in Quanzhou: Don't Miss This Forgotten Treasure Traditional Village

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.

Before leaving Quanzhou, be sure to leave a day for this 600-year-old village

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.

In the bustling crowd, various authentic snacks satisfied my taste buds, and the handicrafts dazzled me. Each stall has its own story, and each vendor welcomes guests from all over the world with enthusiasm and smiles.

Although this day's journey is over, the story of Quanzhou is never-ending. It is like a heavy history book and an endless poem. No matter where you go, there are always new discoveries and insights.

When you come to Quanzhou, don't miss this century-old South Seas style ancient village

When you travel to Quanzhou, if you find West Street too crowded and noisy, I recommend you visit Wulin Village in Jinjiang. This group of Southern Fujian ancient buildings, which has endured over 600 years of vicissitudes, is filled with the nostalgia of overseas Chinese from Southern Fujian. Here you can find both Southern Fujian official-style mansions and exotic architectures such as Gothic and ancient Roman styles. Walking on the stone-paved roads, you will experience the nostalgia of a traditional Chinese village blended with Western architecture. I strongly suggest spending half a day to explore this niche treasure and feel the pulse of history and the charm of the overseas Chinese hometown in Southern Fujian. 🚗Transportation It takes about 20min by taxi from Quanzhou Airport, and about 10min from the South Station. It takes about 40min by taxi from Quanzhou Ancient City, and the car can be parked at the entrance of the scenic area, which is a 5min walk to the village. 🕐Tour Duration: 2-3 hours Old Wu recommends a Sino-Western travel route for everyone⬇️ Chao Dong Tower➡️Opera Stage➡️Five-Story Building➡️Gun Tower➡️Overseas Chinese Letter Museum➡️World View Tower➡️De Wei Residence➡️Southern Fujian Style Museum➡️Juruo Ancient House Bookstore. 📍Chao Dong Tower: This is the landmark building of Wulin Village, with Roman-style arches. The courtyard is simply lovely for photos! There is also an exhibition hall for visiting. 📍De Wei Residence: A very traditional Southern Fujian ancient building stack, with a more than 200-year-old banyan tree in the courtyard, with intricate roots, very spectacular, also known as 'Banyan Root Residence' by the locals. 📍Gun Tower: Also known as the Cultivation Tower, it is the highest point of the ancient village. Buying a ticket to go up allows you to overlook the entire beauty of the ancient village. 📍Scoop Wine Brewery: At the entrance of the soy sauce wine museum, there are bamboo rattan chairs, and you can also take photos of the Gun Tower. 📍Opera Stage: Not far from the entrance of the village, you can see the opera stage. The sunshine wine on the stage is really amazing, and various activities are also held here. You can check the performance list at 'Jinjiang Wulin Traditional Village'. 📍Five-Story Building: The tallest western-style building in Wulin, with five stories. The exterior is in the style of ancient Rome, but the first and second floors are in Southern Fujian style, which is quite interesting. 📍Overseas Chinese Letter Museum: A Spanish-style western building made of Southern Fujian red bricks. Now it is a post office building, and you can go up to the second floor for free to take panoramic photos of the village, with a great view. 🚶🏻‍♂️Juruo Ancient House Bookstore: The environment is particularly nice, especially for taking photos, unique. Tips 1️⃣The ferry car costs 9 yuan for a round trip, which is not very necessary unless it's a very hot day, as it's only a 3~5 minute walk. 2️⃣For those who want to take photos in Nyonya/Zan flower style, this is the place to come, with fewer people than Quanzhou West Street and Xunpu Village, and the scenery and buildings are also very photogenic. 3️⃣There are plenty of things to eat, drink, and play in the scenic area, including some cultural and creative shops, beverage shops, authentic Southern Fujian restaurants, etc. If you don't want to eat in the scenic area, Wen Cheng Niu Niu or Bagua Street nearby is recommended. 4️⃣The pond at the entrance of the village is also a great place to take reflection and sunset photos.

Heading to Wulin for a rendezvous in the South Seas

How can one miss the Nyonya costume change in Wulin when visiting Quanzhou? The joy that cost 80 yuan today was given by Wulin~ Once you arrive at the Wulin scenic area, you'll see Nyonya costume changes everywhere. My personal suggestion is that unless you have already made an appointment with a very popular internet-famous store and photographer, your choice should be like shopping for clothes: you can go into the store to browse, find the style and color of the clothes you like in advance, and then let the merchant match them for you. Try to find a larger store with clean costumes and a complete range of accessories, where you can pick first and pay later. Don't be shy; make sure to choose something you're satisfied with. The 80 yuan includes a set of clothes, a vest, hairstyle, and shoes, all at a uniform price. If you want more choices, be sure to go early, otherwise the clothes might be rented out by others. Makeup requires an additional fee. Unless you really don't know how to take photos, or you are traveling alone, finding a photographer on the spot is likely to be a disappointment. The final photos may not have the same feel as the customer photos you see on the platform, and the customer photos they show you may not even be taken by their own photographers, or they may not be able to arrange for that photographer for you at the moment. Most of them are the kind of package deals that come with the store's assembly line. Although the price won't be very expensive, starting from 200 or 300 yuan, I personally don't like the experience of that assembly line. In short, the Nyonya costume change is still worth experiencing, and as for the rest, it depends on personal needs. The most photogenic spots are basically around the 'Chaodong Building', the closest building to the intersection. Wulin is currently not only free of admission but also free parking, although the parking lot is about a 10-minute walk from the scenic area.

Quanzhou Wulin—A Century-old Architectural Complex of Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia

Wulin ancient village is an ancient village with Southeast Asian and Western-style buildings constructed by early Minnan overseas Chinese after returning to the village. The scenic area is quite large, with hundreds of various buildings. Here, one can not only see Minnan-style architecture but also experience the charm of foreign architectural styles. In addition to the buildings, one can also see ancient wells and old trees with twisted roots... Since it is a bit far from the ancient city of Quanzhou, there are relatively fewer tourists, and the transportation is very convenient, especially for those who drive!

Wulin Traditional Village

Wulin Traditional Village is located in Jinjiang City. There are public buses K901 and K902 from Quanzhou city center that can get you there, but it's about a 2-kilometer walk to the village itself. Wulin Traditional Village was formed during the Ming Dynasty. Towards the end of the Qing Dynasty, villagers who had lived overseas began to return to the country and started to fund the construction of exquisite Minnan official-style mansions, Sino-Western fusion residences, Gothic and ancient Roman-style western buildings, as well as Fanzi buildings. Today, the village has well preserved these century-old buildings with stories. Wulin Traditional Village is known as the Overseas Chinese Architecture Museum. Visiting Wulin Traditional Village is free of charge.

Sitting here, having a cup of tea or coffee, truly feels like blissful happiness akin to that of the immortals! 🌟 Highlights: Elegant and comfortable environment, spacious area 📍 Detailed address: No. 2 Jun Gong Road, Wulin Traditional Village, next to the Tourist Center (De Mao Residence)
