What are the characteristics of Shantou Overseas Chinese Cultural Relics Museum?

Xinqiao Cultural Relics Museum is located in the former site of Shantou Branch of Bank of China at Waima Road 18, with an area of 2,000 square meters and three exhibition halls.

The exhibition hall on the first floor reflects the "specific background" of overseas Chinese: it shows the photos of overseas Chinese "Frant Gwo" and "Shuike" (that is, the goods brought back from overseas by the consignor), and designs a red-headed boat to let visitors experience the feeling of overseas Chinese crossing the ocean in recent years.

The exhibition hall on the second floor embodies the "special operation" and "special link" of overseas Chinese examination and approval: introducing overseas Chinese examination and approval bureaus at home and abroad, and reproducing the original appearance and whole process of the "great success and great story" of Singapore examination and approval bureau.

The exhibition hall on the third floor embodies the "characteristic inheritance" of overseas Chinese batch: it introduces the process of applying for "Overseas Chinese batch file", exhibits overseas Chinese batch with strong local color, and introduces Dongxing Hui Road, the postal route of overseas Chinese batch in Chaoshan during the Japanese puppet regime.
