(231221) -- JINJIANG, Dec. 21, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Dec. 19, 2023 shows a view of Wulin Village of Jinjiang, southeast China's Fujian Province. Visitors to Wulin Village of east China's Fujian Province will be enthralled by the medley of architectural styles: local-style red-brick houses, Gothic buildings, Greco-Romanesque structures, and buildings blending both Chinese and Western elements. The eclectic blend of architectural styles vividly narrates the story of the village's connection to the overseas Chinese community. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many villagers traveled to Southeast Asia to work and sent money back to build homes. As a result, the houses often showcased a captivating fusion of exotic influences. In recent years, over 100 former residences of overseas Chinese, once dilapidated and unattended, have been renovated and preserved under local government efforts. Many of these buildings have transformed into cultural venues, cafés, restaurants, and heritage
