History
The culture village was designed by an architect from Jiangxi and built by Wang Kuo-jeng, a successful businessman who created his wealth while he was in Japan. The construction started in 1876 and it took 25 years to complete all buildings in this area in the year 1900. During the martial law period, the village was renovated to become a folk culture village and later in 1995 was included into the Kinmen National Park.[2] It was the first village in Kinmen which was turned into a tourist destination.[3][4]
Architecture
The culture village has the most complete range of types of Fujian buildings and consists of 18 house buildings, which are 16 symmetrical two-courtyard historic houses, an ancestral shrine and a school academy. All of the buildings were built on the hillside facing the sea in three orderly rows.[3]
