Jibei Settlement Introduction
The settlement is mainly located south of Jibei, developing in three directions from the port: north, east, and west, primarily distributed from Guanyin Temple to Wusheng Temple, directly reaching the old dock area. Jibei Village is divided into eastern and western areas by Wusheng Temple, with the eastern side predominantly inhabited by the Chen and Xie surnames, while the western side is mainly associated with the Zhuang surname. Wusheng Temple was established in the 7th year of the Ming Yongli period (1652 AD) and serves as the faith center for Jibei residents, also known as the East Temple. Guanyin Temple was founded in the 7th year of the Qing Daoguang period (1827 AD) and is also referred to as the West Temple. Additionally, there are Fude Temple and the General Temple (commonly known as Dazhong Ye), as well as several other temples for the deity Ying Gong. The architecture in Jibei is predominantly constructed with local materials, featuring neatly cut coral stones, basalt, and slate, with a wide use of lime mortar. The buildings showcase intricate carvings and paintings on beams, with colorful murals on door panels, imparting a strong sense of antiquity; the architectural structures blend various time periods and historical layers, characterized by diverse and creative window designs. Behind the settlement, there are vegetable farms, where diligent farmers tend to the crops under the stone walls morning and evening. In addition to maritime activities, visitors to Jibei can walk around the settlement during the day to experience the local atmosphere. 【Recommended stay time】 2 hours.
