Jimei Dashe Village
集美大社
An old Minnan village in the hometown of Tan Kah Kee, blending red-brick ancestral houses, arcaded buildings, craft shops and cafés. It's a popular neighborhood in Jimei.
Jimei Dashe lies beside Jimei Academic Village in Jimei District and is the hometown of Mr. Tan Kah Kee. It preserves many Minnan red-brick old houses, with swallowtail roof ridges and Western-style houses (fanzai lou). Lanes criss-cross the village, with the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, Tan Kah Kee’s former residence and more. After recent renovation, cafés, craft shops, guesthouses and snack stalls have moved in, and it's quieter than the old streets on Xiamen Island. Free admission. It can be combined with Jimei Academic Village, Ao Garden and Dragon Boat Pond. A short walk from Jimei Academic Village station on Metro Line 1.
