Illustrative →Shamei Old Street
Sha-Mei Old Street in Kinmen County's Jin-Sha Township is one of Kinmen's oldest market streets, formerly known as Ba-Gua Street. Lining both sides are many earth-toned, half-collapsed houses whose North-African-Morocco-style architecture has earned the area the nickname 'Sha-Mei Morocco' and turned it into an Instagrammable hotspot. The street still keeps old-school grocery stores and local snacks - Min-style shao-bing, traditional treats - so visitors can savour Kinmen's history and flavours between photos. The main sights take only one to two hours on foot, making it well-suited for family strolls and culture-loving travellers.
