Jibeizhu Village Introduction
The settlement is mainly located south of Jibei, developing north, east, and west from the harbor, mainly distributed from Guanyin Temple to Wusheng Temple, reaching the old pier area. Jibei Village is divided into the eastern and western areas by Wusheng Temple, with the eastern side predominantly inhabited by people with the surnames "Chen" and "Xie," while the western side has "Zhuang" as the major surname. Wusheng Temple was built in the 7th year of the Yongli era of the Ming Dynasty (1652) and serves as the center of faith for the residents of Jibei, also known as the East Temple; Guanyin Temple was established in the 7th year of the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty (1827), also known as the West Temple. Additionally, there are Fude Temple and Dajangye (commonly known as Dazhongye) Temple, as well as several temples dedicated to the God of the Market. The architecture in Jibei primarily uses locally sourced materials, such as neatly cut corals, basalt, and stone slabs, with widespread use of lime. The buildings feature intricate carvings and colorful paintings on the door panels, giving an overall ancient charm. The architectural style reflects a blend of different eras and histories, with diverse and creative window designs. Behind the settlement, there are vegetable gardens tended by diligent farmers caring for their crops under the stone walls, whether in the morning or at dusk. When visiting Jibei, one can not only enjoy marine activities but also stroll through the settlement during the day to experience its atmosphere. [Recommended stay time] 2 hours.
