Is there a city walking route in Xiamen that can let you know about the overseas Chinese culture in Xiamen?
Baozi who want to go to Xiamen recently must go to these places! ! As I have just returned from Xiamen, I really suggest you to have a look. As we all know, Xiamen is a city full of cultural characteristics, and these places can just show Xiamen's unique characteristics. They are:
Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street
Gulangyu
Jimei Xuecun
1, Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street
This is an old block full of overseas Chinese culture!
Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is a commercial street with a long history in Xiamen. It is known as "Top Ten Famous Streets in China" and "The First Street in the South". It is an old city block in Xiamen that has preserved a relatively complete display of modern history, with many cultural relics such as Xiaoma Road, Chen Huacheng's former residence, the first temple in China and so on!
There are a lot of snacks on this road, such as Sibei peanut soup, Yuehua Satay Noodles, Aqing spring rolls, Mingyue shrimp noodles, etc., especially Mingyue shrimp noodles, which are really super delicious! ! Eat them all!
Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street View
The buildings here are arcades, with pink and milky white as the main colors, with a strong Nanyang style, and various snacks with Fujian and Taiwan characteristics are also a major feature of Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. Nanyang's arcade architecture, colorful LED night scenes, various snacks with Fujian and Taiwan characteristics and the echo of ancient southern sounds in alleys and blocks constitute its distinctive style characteristics.
when it comes to Nanyang, I have to mention three great population migrations that occurred in China in modern times, namely, going to the Kanto, going west and going down to Nanyang. Among them, Lower Nanyang is even more special, because it needs to travel across the ocean to work hard in a completely unfamiliar overseas. During the period from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was turbulent and the people were struggling. Many ordinary people went down to Nanyang again and again to make a living. During the 9 years from 184 to 193, Fujian and Guangdong exported more than 1, refugees a year, which also brought rich overseas Chinese culture to Xiamen.
Personal recommended walking route in Lower Nanyang: Lujiang Road-Yong 'antang Bell Tower-Weizhen Hall-Chen Huacheng's former residence-Xinjie Chapel-former site of anti-enemy support associations from all walks of life. On this route, when you see Chen Huacheng's former residence, you will think of him leading the army to fight against the invading British ships, fighting alone, and dying in the line of duty. You can see the tallest building on Zhongshan Road in Yong 'antang Bell Tower, and you can also see that although it has not witnessed its past, it has a history of more than 9 years and still exudes a strong aftertaste of the Republic of China.
? Address: 3 meters southeast of No.54 Lujiang Road, Xiamen, Fujian.
2. Gulangyu Island
This small island with an area of less than two square kilometers is the place with the largest number of pianos in China. It is known as the "piano island", and it is also known as the "gathering place of architecture of all countries" just because it has many modern buildings with different styles.
Gulangyu
When it comes to the development and formation of Gulangyu, it has probably gone through three stages: the precipitation period of local culture, the spread period of foreign culture and the multi-cultural integration period. During the period of multicultural integration, from 193 to 1941, when the Pacific War broke out, Gulangyu became a "paradise" in southern Fujian in the early 2th century, and Chinese and overseas Chinese gradually replaced westerners as the leading forces in Gulangyu's social life and urban construction, which also formed a rich overseas Chinese culture.
Gulangyu combines Chinese and western cultures
You must go to Haoyue Garden to go to Gulangyu! Tickets are super cheap, and 1 yuan per capita is really hard to love. The most famous is the statue of Zheng Chenggong, just like the patron saint of Xiamen people! Personally recommended walking route: Sanqiutian Wharf → the most beautiful corner → Bagua Building → Piano Museum → Xinzhuang Garden → Haoyue Garden → Longtou Road Commercial Street in Gulangyu → Sanqiutian Wharf. You can feel the excitement he doesn't usually feel at Longtou Road Commercial Street in Gulangyu, and there are many delicious foods here, such as Sanwei Crisp House, Su Xiaotang, Zhang Sanfeng European-style milk tea shop and so on, all of which are super delicious.
? Address: Gulangyu Street, Siming District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province, located in the southwest corner of Xiamen Peninsula
3. Jimei Xuecun
Jimei Xuecun is an urban area that combines Minnan culture, Xuecun culture and overseas Chinese culture. It is not a marginal individual independent of the city, but a university town in a community model that integrates education, work and life in a century of development. It is a beautiful place, showing its humanistic style and becoming a major tourist in jimei district.
Jimei School Village
Jimei School Village is different from the pure university town, but is composed of kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, universities and other schools, in addition to Longzhouchi, library, auditorium, Chen Jiageng's former residence and aoyuan.
standing in front of the school, I can't even imagine how wonderful it is to learn here!
personally recommended walking route for Jimei Middle School: Jimei Xuecun subway station-Haidi Road-Huaqiao University Chinese College-Jimei Xuecun Loupai-Jimei University Navigation College-Chen Jiageng's former residence-swimming pool-aoyuan-Jiageng Park-Jimei University-water sports center-Shigu Road. We can feel the charm of history and culture near Jimei University and visit some places. Address: No.25 Jimei School Village, Shigu Road, jimei district, Xiamen, Fujian
Let's sum it up! The collision between Chinese and foreign cultures and local cultures is not just conquest and extinction. On the contrary, if we combine friendly and intelligent cultures, we will form a new culture, thus presenting a beautiful gathering of multiculturalism! The above is my recommended walking route with overseas Chinese culture. Welcome to supplement it! !
