Jimei combines education history, distinctive Jiageng architecture and waterfront public space in a district separated from central Xiamen.
For foreign visitors, the useful plan is not only what to see but which entrance, identity document, transport connection and exit make the visit work. Save “集美学村” in Chinese before leaving your hotel.
Quick answer
Take the metro across the sea, begin around Dragon Boat Pond and the historic school buildings, then choose one museum or memorial area rather than walking every campus road.
