Dreaming in Jimei: A Literary Journey in the Minnan Academy

Strolling through Jimei School Village in Xiamen, the blend of red-brick ancient buildings and modern architecture feels like traveling through a century-long corridor of time. The Ao Garden and Daonan Building, personally crafted by Mr. Tan Kah Kee, narrate the resilience and sincerity of the Kah Kee spirit. By the Dragon Boat Pond, egrets flutter gracefully, and the rippling waters showcase the gentle charm of Minnan's water towns. In the afternoon, wander into the alleys of Shigu Road, where the aroma of coffee mingles with the scholarly atmosphere, and creative shops under old arcades hide unique design inspirations. As evening falls, the clock tower of Jimei University is illuminated with warm yellow lights, romantically echoing Xiamen Island across the water. This place is not only rich in history but also brimming with youthful energy—a Minnan secret haven that literary travelers must not miss!
