## About Wudianshi Historic District

Entering this traditional district, set among towering skyscrapers, is like stepping into a small world full of ancient charm. The district is dotted with ancestral halls, temples, residences and shops. It preserves 81 residential buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Republican era and modern times. You will find rammed-earth houses typical of Jinjiang, Min-South traditional "Imperial Palace-style" red-brick buildings, and Western-style mansions that blend Chinese and Western architecture. Each building tells its own story of distinctive Min-South architectural aesthetics.
