Step into a time capsule at Yaotou Primary School, where Minnan-style red bricks meet Western arches in Xiamen's historic heart. Weather-worn walls whisper tales of 1920s education, while century-old banyan trees shade locals who gather in the courtyard. The rhythmic echo of children's recitations seems to linger among the colonnades - come at dawn to sip tea with elderly residents and experience the authentic pulse of old Amoy.
