JIMEI and XIAMEN

JIMEI is an area of culture and education, called JIMEI SCHOOL VILLAGE, which not only has many schools, colleges and universities, but also ‘schools in village, village in schools’ has become a special style of the JIMEI district, well-known in FUJIAN. At present, with the development of the number and scale of schools, JIMEI school village is transferring to JIMEI college town. Nowadays there are 10 high institutions and scientific research organisations, such as:

Huqiao University Xiamen university of technology



Xiamen technology academy of Fuzhou University Xiamen Institute of Technology of Huaqiao University Huaxia vocational college Xiamen software college Xiamen industrial and commercial tourism school Institute of Urban Environment of Chinese Academy of Sciences

There are about a hundred thousand teachers and students.

XIAMEN is a charming and graceful garden city at sea, called ‘city on the sea, sea in the city’. Islands, reefs, rocks, islets, temples, flowers and trees reflect each other on the island and culture of overseas hometown. Min-Tai customs, seashore delicious food and exotic architecture are merged into a whole, and temperate weather is added to the charm of sea. Due to its regional advantages to Taiwan and southeast Asia and fast and convenient transport, XIAMEN has been in the top 3 of the most popular tourist cities in China.

FUJIAN, MIN for short, is situated on the southeastern coast of the Chinese mainland. FUJIAN is the starting point of the ancient Marine Silk Route, and an economic powerhouse opening to the outside world. Therefore FUJIAN becomes the world's multi-cultural fusion point of intersection with many scenic places of historic interest, such as attractive WUYI wonderland, romantic GULANGYU islet and magical HAKKA TULOU.
