Mofan Street
模範街
A red-brick arcaded old street built in 1924, blending Japanese and Baroque façades; the center of food and shopping in Jincheng.
Mofan Street lies in the centre of Jincheng Town. Built in 1924 with funds raised by the chamber of commerce, it has more than 30 two-storey shophouses along both sides. Red-brick arcades, Western-style gables and shop signs form an orderly streetscape, and it is regarded as Kinmen's first planned shopping street. Today the street offers Kinmen tribute sugar, Cantonese congee, oyster vermicelli, stone-oyster snacks and creative gift shops. The Houpu Old Street, the Garrison Office and the Mother's Chastity Arch of Qiu Lianggong are all within walking distance. Shops are open roughly 09:00 to 21:00, and in the evening the street is quiet with fewer people.
Opening hours
