The Overlooked Origin of Xiamen - Tong'an

Traceable back to the Neolithic Age, Tong'an County, which predates Xiamen and where Zhu Xi once served as the chief registrar, boasts the historically significant Fantian Temple and Meishan Temple, as well as the culturally rich Tong'an Confucius Temple. Inside, the interior of the Tong'an Confucius Temple surpasses the Xiamen Museum in displaying the history of Xiamen. The Xiamen Confucius Temple Scenic Area even includes a section of the ancient city wall, making it one of the highly recommended check-in spots in Xiamen. tips: A half-day to one-day itinerary is sufficient, as the Tong'an scenic spots are relatively concentrated in the city center. Near the bell tower, there are shopping districts where you can enjoy local snacks as well as a variety of dining and bubble tea options. It's walkable from Tong'an Bell Tower to the old site of Tong'an County (marked only by stone piers) to Tong'an Confucius Temple. Fantian Temple and Meishan Temple are accessible by bike or taxi (at a starting fare distance).
