Xiamen Jimei School Village: A Local's Day Trip Itinerary
In addition to Gulangyu Island, Zhongshan Road, and Zengcuo'an, Xiamen has many other fun places to visit, take photos, and eat.
I want to recommend and share Jimei School Village, a niche and artistic place in Xiamen.
/
Jimei School Village is located in Jimei Village on Jimei Peninsula, Xiamen. It is a general term for various schools and cultural institutions in Jimei. It was founded by the famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader Mr. Tan Kah Kee in 1913.
/
It is not only a place for students to study, but also a place where natural and cultural beauty converge. Jimei is extremely beautiful, combining the beauty of culture and nature.

⭕️ Transportation Guide:
Take Xiamen Metro Line 1 to Jimei School Village Station.
It is close to Gaoqi Airport and Xiamen North Railway Station, making it a great first or last stop on your trip to Xiamen.
