Jimei Ao Garden is located on the southeast coast of Jimei Academic Village in Xiamen City. The garden is divided into three parts: the gate corridor, the Jimei Liberation Monument, and the tomb of Mr. Tan Kah Kee. Upon entering the garden, one is greeted by a 50-meter-long gate corridor, whose walls are engraved with 40 bluestone reliefs of historical figures from both ancient and modern times. These three-dimensional, sequential statues depict a variety of postures and expressions, bringing the figures to life.


The artistry is such that it captures a range of emotions from joy to anger, and the detailed craftsmanship is nothing short of miraculous, with flags unfurling like paper and raised spears as thin as writing brushes, a testament to the skill of the artisans. The garden is open all year round from 08:00 to 18:00, and from 08:00 to 17:30.
