Zhushan Village
珠山聚落
A village of a single surname, the Xue clan, where old houses surround a pond; one of Kinmen's best-preserved and most photogenic Min-Nan settlements.
Zhushan Village lies in the south of Jincheng Town. Members of the Xue clan have lived here for several hundred years. Dozens of red-brick old houses with swallowtail ridges are arranged around a central pond, enclosed by the hills. The layout is intact, and buildings such as the Dafu Mansion and the Western-style houses built by the Xue Yongnan brothers are worth a closer look. Many of the old houses have been restored under Kinmen National Park and turned into guesthouses. There are fewer visitors than in Shuitou, and the reflections in the pond are most beautiful at dawn and dusk. Entry is free; please do not enter private homes. It is about 3 km from Zhaishan Tunnel, so it is easy to link the two by bicycle.
