What to do on a typical day

1. 08:50: Gathering on Gulangyu Island, let’s first talk about the road scale and walking rhythm on the island - French-speaking guests often underestimate the walking distance on the island, and it is easy to get lost in a half-day trip
2. 10:00: A layered explanation of the four types of buildings: consulates, foreign companies, churches and overseas Chinese industries - infer the port system from the building functions, and recite it clearly by chronology
3. 14:30: Jimei Mei Village Jiageng Architecture, focusing on the combination of Chinese and Western volumes and materials - only by expressing the intention of overseas Chinese to run a school can the building have a subject.
4. 17:00: The end of Huandao Road, talking about the relationship between the modern coastline and urban opening--containing the movement of a day in the history of modern cities

Terminology Notes

• Treaty Ports and Foreign Resident Areas: The explanation of Xiamen’s historical buildings uses these two words to separate them and do not confuse them with “concession”.
• Jiageng Architecture: Talk about the volume relationship between the house body and the roof, not simplify it into style terms
