Location & How to Get There

Daden Jiujia Cuo Warfare Folklore Park sits on Daden Island, part of the “Heroic Three Islands” in Xiamen, Fujian. The address is No. 137, Shantoushan Road, Dadeng Subdistrict. To get here, take a taxi or bus from Xiamen Island (about 1 hour) or drive along the coastal road for stunning sea views. The park is easy to find once you’re on the island—just ask locals for “Jiujia Cuo”!

Natural Scenery

Nestled in the heart of Daden Island, the park blends history with coastal charm. You’ll see red-brick ancient houses (like “Jiujia Cuo” itself) surrounded by palm trees and ocean breezes. The island’s quiet fishing village vibe contrasts with the park’s wartime themes, making it a unique mix of peace and history.
