Four architectural styles in Xiamen

Xiamen's architectural style, from schools to residential buildings, is almost unique and has its own advantages. They have added a strong luster to Xiamen, which is full of literary flavor. The unique European architecture on Gulangyu Island and the arcade in Xiamen have attracted the attention of tourists from all over the world because of their own characteristics, and some even came here to shoot. So, do you want to know the styles of the four major buildings in Xiamen? Just follow me to see Xiamen culture!

I. European architecture

To Gulangyu Ferry Terminal, take Lujiangding-Fujian Road-Lujiao Road-Fuxing Road and turn to Zhangzhou Road, which is the preferred route; Second, transfer from Huangyan Road to the top of Bijiashan Mountain to Anhai Road-Gu Xin Road. These two routes can see Gulangyu's representative European architecture.

The British consulates built in 1844 and 1870 have been demolished, and the new buildings have lost their original charm. When crossing them, we can only make a historical review. Passing through the Japanese Consulate with English-like architecture and the Japanese Police Department with Oriental architecture, you can reach the Gothic Catholic Church, whose pointy art is very individual and worth seeing.

Go out of the Catholic Church, turn left, and you will find Rongyuantang, a boutique villa supported by Roman columns and dominated by European style. There is China's architectural thinking on the third floor, which complements the elegant gardens. It's fascinating and worth pondering. Opposite is the "paradise structure on the sea". The five villas have their own characteristics, and the building in the middle and the villas on both sides are the most beautiful. The building in the middle is a traditional rest peak, but the main body is European style, which combines Chinese and western styles, and is quite distinctive, especially the algae well under the middle ridge is more beautiful; Both sides are the combination of Baroque and China classical art, which is also very beautiful.

The octagonal building where Lin Er lives is a southern European building with baroque charm. There are many stories, so we must savor them carefully. Li Qingquan Villa at the foot of Flag Mountain has luxurious and modern buildings and spacious and quiet gardens. This is an ideal home. Don't be fooled by the word "Gu Rong" on the gate. This is a slip of the pen by Gu Rong, because the villa was built under an ancient banyan tree.

Strolling to the west end of Fuxing Road, there are two Victorian-style white villas among green trees and flowers, which are the villas of Bai Dengbi, the founder of Fujian letterpress printing. Although the appearance is old, it still retains the charm of the year, and many characters and stories in the villa are never tired of listening.

After seeing Baijia Villa, I went to Zhangzhou Road to see Lin Yutang and Liao Cuifeng's bride's room. Liao Jia Villa is a qualified old villa in Gulangyu Island. There are many anecdotes about Lin Yutang, a famous literary master in China, which are enough to improve the interest of tourism.

The middle building of Huangjia Garden, once known as "the first villa in China", is an English luxury villa with the charm of Southeast Asia. Look at the lobby decorated with nanmu up and down, and the Italian marble staircase at the back of the lobby worth 6.5438+10,000 yuan, which is amazing enough, not to mention the chic back porch and the specially built rooftop.

Out of the Huangjia Garden, I looked at the forest house with twisted roof all the way, and then I came to the top of Bijia Mountain. On the top of the mountain, there are two villas that used to be "trial courts", but Lin Wenqing Villa, which has become a dangerous house, seems to have the figure of the principal among the vines! To the north are Chuncaotang, Guancai Building and JOE Villa. Chuncaotang is a small building with a combination of Chinese and western styles, which is extremely warm. JOE Villa is eclectic, solemn and elegant. You can still hear the piano of Sister Xu Jia behind the rose-red wall. Guancai Building is the most unique building with a strong Dutch style. The main attractions are rope-like doorposts, the window lintels of musketeers' faces and the third floor of the back arc, which fully shows its architectural artistic beauty.

You can reach the villa from the stone steps on the right side of Guancai Building. There are the most beautiful and largest European gatehouse, baroque facade and flower beds on the transition road, which makes people unforgettable. Then follow the path to Fanpo Building on Anhai Road and the small building in Western Europe. Fanpo Building's colorful costumes have the flavor of Rococo. The "Five Athlete's Foot" promenade is of Southeast Asian style, but its attraction is the stage where Fanpo sings and plays in front of the building and the happy gatehouse where you can see in and out. Don't underestimate the small buildings in western Europe. It's quite old, and it's a work by/kloc-0 in the middle of the 9th century. Architectural modeling, decorative materials, wall painting colors, etc. As always, keep the same color and style. This is a rare Victorian villa. All Europeans who pass by will stop to take pictures as a souvenir and are reluctant to leave. It can be said that it is a treasure in Gulangyu villa.

Along the winding alley, one turn is Yangjiayuan. * * * There are five villas, all of which are quite advanced. Among them, the European windows of "Zhongquan Building" are the most beautiful, and the windowsill, window cover and window lintel are all very artistic. A short glance can leave a deep memory, and its water supply system is unforgettable.

Finally, Bagua Building, the largest villa in the whole drum, is a representative of modern architecture in Xiamen, with unique shape and the most attractive red dome. It is modeled after the stone dome of the oldest Islamic church in the world, and stands proudly on the dome, becoming the symbol of Gulangyu Island and the great ship entering and leaving the port.
