Jiageng Architecture stands like brilliant pearls embedded in Xiamen's landscape. Jiageng tiles, swallow-tail ridges, red brick walls, and sloping roofs—these unique elements combine to form the majestic, elegant, and distinctive style of Jiageng Architecture. Having withstood the test of time, they still radiate captivating brilliance, becoming a beautiful calling card for the city of Xiamen. "Jiageng Architecture" originated when Mr. Chen Jiageng founded Jimei School and Xiamen University. Today, these buildings have a history of over a hundred years. Mr. Chen ingeniously blended Chinese elements with Southeast Asian styles to create this innovative architectural form. The graceful, tall, heat-resistant, and moisture-proof Chinese roofs complement the ventilation, brightness, and free layout of Western building structures, creating a perfect harmony where Eastern and Western ancient architectural cultures collide in a brilliant display. First, visit the Qunxian Building complex at Xiamen University, a typical representative of Jiageng Architecture. Standing in front of the building, the red walls and green tiles appear particularly dazzling in the sunlight. Flying eaves and bracket systems showcase the simplicity and grandeur of Chinese architecture, while delicate carvings and Western-style doors and windows reveal a touch of exotic charm. Inside the building, the bright spatial layout feels extremely comfortable. Sunlight streams through the windows, creating patches of dappled light on the floor. Here, you can feel the sedimentation of history and the inheritance of culture. Students study diligently in classrooms, teachers lecture passionately on podiums, and the campus is full of vitality and energy. Next, head to Jimei School Village, where Jiageng Architecture is scattered everywhere. The buildings by the Dragon Boat Pool complement the lake water, creating a breathtaking scene. Standing by the pool, a gentle breeze ripples the water's surface. The distant buildings reflect in the water like a beautiful painting. The Chen Jiageng Memorial Hall stands solemn and dignified, with numerous exhibits about Mr. Jiageng's life and his contributions to education. Through visiting the memorial hall, you can gain a deeper understanding of Mr. Jiageng's great spirit and the stories behind Jiageng Architecture. After a day of exploration, return to Jinjiang Inn with a somewhat tired body. Take a hot bath to wash away the dust and fatigue.
