Zhushan Settlement Introduction
Zhushan is located in the southwestern part of Kinmen Island, at the starting point of the West Circular Road. This area is a settlement of the Xue clan, with ancestors who settled here from Xueling, Xiamen during the Yuan Dynasty, and it has a history of 650 years. The first impression of entering the Zhushan settlement is its clear colors, surrounded by highlands and centered around a large pond, presenting an auspicious feng shui spot known as "Four Rivers Returning to the Pond." The whole settlement expands from the ancestral hall to both sides, built around the large pond, where the ancient brick walls’ reddish-brown hue beautifully complements the clear green water, creating a picturesque scene. Taking a walk in Zhushan Park to enjoy the distant views or quietly observing the exquisite brick carvings and Jianzhou pottery on the old houses are highlights you should not miss in the Zhushan settlement.
