Fuyue Village

Introducing Fuyue Village

Fuyue Village in Doushan Town has been named one of the "New Eight Scenic Spots of Taishan." Its 15 Western-style buildings are considered by scholars to be "a hybrid of Western-style and Diaolou architecture"—a unique architectural style for overseas Chinese communities. Originally known as "Fuxi Village," it's said that the village once stood before a vast ocean. One day, tired villagers sat together after a day's work to relax and chat when they suddenly spotted a bright moon reflected on the water. The village, seemingly floating on the surface, was so beautiful that the name was changed to "Fuyue Village."
