I thought Quanzhou West Street was beautiful, until I arrived at Wulin Ancient Village

If you find Quanzhou West Street too crowded, consider taking a stroll in Jinjiang Wulin Village, where well-preserved century-old architectural complexes exude a strong Nanyang style, featuring Minnan official-style mansions, Sino-Western residential buildings, Gothic and ancient Roman styles. Each ancient building tells the stories of generations of Wulin people, and the nostalgia of Wulin overseas Chinese. - ⭐️⭐️Tour Route: Chao Dong Tower ➡️ Opera Stage ➡️ Five-Story Building ➡️ Pit Wall Tower ➡️ Qiaopi Museum ➡️ World View Tower ➡️ De Wei Residence ➡️ Minnan Style Museum ➡️ Juru Ancient Residence Bookstore. - ✅Chao Dong Tower A landmark building of Wulin Village, the courtyard is great for photography, with Roman arches, and there's also an exhibition hall inside. ✅De Wei Residence Built in 1910, the famous banyan tree is here, also known as the Banyan Root Residence, where the roots of the banyan tree intertwine with the ancient house, which is quite magical. ✅Gun Tower Also known as the Cultivation Tower, the highest point of the ancient village, you need to buy a ticket to go up, and you can overlook the entire ancient village. ✅Five-Story Building Built in 1935, designed by a British designer, with a Western appearance, but the first and second floors have Minnan charm. ✅Qiaopi Museum Completed in 1938, it is a Spanish-style western building made of Minnan red bricks. ✅Juru Ancient Residence Bookstore The environment is very characteristic, and it's great for photography. ✅Guangfa Ice Room A Hong Kong-style tea restaurant in a two-story Nanyang building, the second floor offers great views, and it's very pleasant to sit in the sunshine and drink silk stocking milk tea🥤. ✅Village Entrance Pond When there's no wind, you can capture the reflection of the ancient village and the blue sky with white clouds, and the sunset here is also beautiful. - 🚙Suitable for self-driving, there is a parking lot at the entrance of the village, about 30 minutes from Quanzhou, about 40 minutes from Xiamen, and about 10-20 minutes from Shishi and Jinjiang. 🎫No admission fee, open all day. 🏠There are homestays here, and it's quite nice to stay for a night if you're not in a hurry.
