This is a very beautiful campus. The campus is shaded by green trees. Whether you take a stroll or read a book under the trees, you will feel extremely comfortable. Mr. Lu Xun once worked here for a long time, so there is a Lu Xun Memorial Hall on campus, which is quite rare in universities. There are also numerous cafes around the school, exuding a strong bourgeois atmosphere.
Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by the famous patriotic overseas Chinese Mr. Tan Kah Kee. It is a university founded by overseas Chinese in the history of modern Chinese education. Many of its old buildings were built by Mr. Tan Kah Kee’s son-in-law. In particular, the Jiannan Auditorium and the Shangxian Stadium are quite magnificent.
There are places like Furong Lake (when you enter Xiamen University from the south gate, there is a row of tall buildings. In front of the tallest main building is Furong Lake. Xiamen University is built around Furong Lake), Lover’s Valley, Shangxian Stadium, Furong Tunnel, etc. You can also go out through the Baicheng Small Gate (also known as the north gate) and take a stroll on Baicheng Beach.
There are the Xiamen University Human Museum and the Lu Xun Memorial Hall on campus. The former treasures cultural relics and materials related to humans and their development from prehistoric times to the present, especially cultural relics reflecting Minnan and Taiwanese cultures, as well as historical traces of ancient Fujian’s exchanges with foreign countries, especially the overseas transportation history of Quanzhou. They are full of characteristics and value. (Both can be visited. Photography is prohibited in the Human Museum)
You can view the specific scenic spot map on the following official website. The specific locations are clearly marked on the official website map, which is very convenient for searching. Of course, there are also hand-drawn maps sold at the school gate. If you are interested, you can buy one for reference.
There are also many characteristic cafes near Xiamen University. The relatively famous ones include “Yashe” and “Brown Sugar”. When you are tired from strolling, you can come here to rest. Their environments are fresh and elegant. You can relax and feel lazy, with a touch of comfort. It’s all about enjoying the environment, making it suitable for little girls who like taking pictures. Taking a photo and uploading it to Weibo will make you feel great! For those who have high requirements for taste, don’t go out of your way to find these cafes, lest you be disappointed. Their taste is not as good as the environment, and it will also be very tiring to specifically look for a store, which may affect your mood.
