A Glimpse of Minnan's Past in Time—Xiamen Old Courtyard Scenic Area

The Xiamen Old Courtyard Scenic Area is a place where one can step back in time. Its red-brick traditional Minnan houses are arranged harmoniously, with intricately carved wooden windows, and the aroma of traditional snacks wafts through the alleys. Walking through, it feels as if old stories are whispering in your ears.

What’s even more captivating are the cultural performances within the Old Courtyard, which vividly narrate the history of Minnan, its maritime spirit, and the culture of overseas Chinese communities. This is not just a scenic spot but a condensed essence of nostalgia. The Old Courtyard reminds us that culture is the deepest root of our homeland.
