Wudianshi Historic District
五店市
A historic district of red-brick ancient houses in Jinjiang's city center, with the Cai and Zhuang ancestral halls and a cluster of Western-style houses. It is Jinjiang's “city living room” and a center for local snacks.
Wudianshi Historic District lies in Qingyang Subdistrict, Jinjiang City. It preserves and has relocated dozens of Ming and Qing red-brick ancient houses, ancestral halls and “fanzai lou” (overseas-style Western houses). Alleys contain Jinjiang snacks, teahouses, handicraft workshops and exhibition halls. The red-brick swallowtail ridges look especially beautiful under nighttime lights. Free admission. A visit takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. It lies about 15 kilometers from Quanzhou's old city and can be combined with Anping Bridge and Caoan in a one-day tour of Jinjiang.
