Xiamen Photo Gallery - Gulangyu Part 2

The Mengxue Preschool was built in 1908 originally as a residence with 7 arches in Neo-Renaissance style with south-facing orientation. It later became a kindergarten, teaching children between the ages of 4 and 8.

The Trinity Church was built by 3 Christian communities and was completed in 1945. Thanks to donations from the local Chinese Christians as well as the British Presbyterian Church and the American Reformed Church, the building is shaped like a Greek cross with an octagonal roof.

The Huang Family Villa was home to Huang Yizhu, who returned from Indonesia in 1919 and decided to build a residence fusing Chinese and Western Art Deco architectural styles.
