Foreign visitors, who were not permitted on the island until 1980, are now welcomed and delighted by the scenic beauty and historical treasures of Xiamen. Visit the famous Jimei Academic Village located in the northern section of the island. Known as the home of Tan Kah Kee, the museum features bronze statues and pottery from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Three miles east of the village, on the slopes of Wulao Mountain, is the South Putuo Temple, dating back 1,000 years.
