Classic Kinmen Travel

Located in the northeast of Kinmen, Shamei Old Street was at the edge of the battlefield. Lots of soldiers were stationed here, making Shamei one of the most popular places for soldiers to go shopping and spend their leisure time. The street used to be the most prosperous place in Kinmen at that time. However, it fell on hard time as soon as the soldiers left.

As a result, Shamei has become economically inviable since then. Buildings on Shamei Old Street have a history of at least 300 years, but some can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, 800 years ago. Lots of the Min-style buildings, western-style houses and temples are located on the street.
