In the name of my family, where is Li Jianjian’s studio in Xiamen—the location of He Ziqiu Dessert Shop?
I don’t know how many people are watching "In the Name of Family". This TV series filmed in Xiamen has become a hot search topic and is quite popular. You must also want to know where Sharp Studio and my brother’s dessert shop are.
Scene location
Chaohai Noodle House, an important scene of the play, is located in Jinding Lane, which is built against the mountain. It’s full of fireworks of islanders’ life.
Three siblings walk to and from school together. This is an old villa area, Huaxin Road, which is more interesting than Gulangyu Island.
The bus the three brothers and sisters took together was the 947 bus, which is familiar to the locals.
From the roof of the three brothers and sisters' home, you can clearly see the Haicang Bridge and the Pearl Tower on Fowei Mountain.
Li Jianjian’s studio
The studio is the old warehouse of GOODONE, a famous retro museum in Xiamen.
Old furniture, table lamps, bicycles, ceramic tiles, and typewriters are filled with century-old items from Xiamen, each of which was collected by "Old Mr." Yang from every corner of the city.
Every item has a life, some past events and memories. Today's old warehouse has become a fusion center of retro life aesthetics and a center of urban memory. Each floor of the 3,000-square-meter complex space has its own unique gameplay.
In addition to Xiamen, there are also ones in Beijing, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and even Ananya.
He Qiude Dessert Shop
The dessert shop in autumn is goodoneTimeGarden, which is also related to "old things". Of all the old things, Yang's favorite is ceramic tiles.
In 2015, Yang collected dozens of tons of ceramic tiles, but he also got himself into trouble. In order to relieve the pressure, he started crowdfunding, but unexpectedly gained Time Garden and a group of friends who love ceramic tiles.
Because of the brick elements, the whole space has a retro feel, and the view on the second floor is very good. Drinking coffee and afternoon tea here is full of the old taste of Xiamen.
The most recent air tickets from Hangzhou to Xiamen start at 300 yuan in August and September. In the past, Xiamen only had Gulangyu Island, Shapowan, and Xiamen University, but now it has a fresh side. The best way to get to know a city is to learn to live like a local and explore the secrets of non-tourist areas!
Summary of filming locations
Chao Hai Noodles
An important scene in the play is the Chao Hai Noodle House located in Jinding Lane, which is built in a building in Huli District Mountain. However, Chaohai Noodle House was demolished after the filming.
This is not a scenic spot, but a residential area. Facing the sea and backed by Fox Mountain, there are houses with a sense of time everywhere. Some of them are the most real living conditions of Xiamen islanders. The ceramic tiles in Li Jianjian’s house in the play are typical home decorations in old Xiamen!
Lu Hua
When he and Li Jianjian went to school together, the road they passed was Huaxin Road in Xiamen.
This is an old villa area hidden in the center of Xiamen, with red bricks and white tiles, alleys and alleys. In its busiest areas, it is isolated. Known as "the last poetic place".
In fact, this is a group of villas built in the 1950s to meet the needs of returned overseas Chinese. Gulangyu villa design has southern Fujian characteristics. Literature and art are hidden in the alleys of the ancient city.
There are many young artists dreaming about this now. Many old villas have been converted into interesting cafes and B&Bs, so the area is perfect for quiet walks and leisurely city exploration.
2how Cafe
The coffee collection is located in the alley of Huaxin Road.
This coffee shop is recommended by many people. This is one of the best cafes in Xiamen. It has been open for many years and the quality is still guaranteed. This store doesn't sell mocha lattes. It only makes coffee by hand. You can choose your own coffee beans and cups. The barista will let you smell the coffee beans before brewing. Be a serious barista.
Haicang Bridge
Most of the scenes in the play are located in Jinding Lane. Jianjian, Lingxiao and Qiuzi watch shooting stars on the rooftop. You can see the Haicang Bridge connecting Xiamen Island and Haicang District.
The Haicang Bridge is the second largest super-large three-span fully floating steel box girder suspension bridge in the world and the largest in Asia. Compared with the night view, the sunset is more romantic! If you want to overlook the Haicang Bridge, it is recommended to go up from the elevator of Ronghua Zhuangyuan Building in Huwei Mountain. This is one of the best shooting locations.
You can also visit the Lujiang River at night, take a boat to see the bridge from a more spectacular angle, and then pass under the bridge. If you can enjoy the sunset or night view while driving on the bridge, it will be an unforgettable experience. There is also the Fisherman's Wharf Seafood Restaurant under the bridge, which is suitable for enjoying delicious seafood while looking at the bridge and the sea.
Haicang Bay Park
Haicang Bay Park is where Li Jianjian sketched. The scenery is no less than that of Xiamen Grand View Terrace. Just because it is outside the island, it has become a niche attraction for local residents.
This is a park distributed along the coast, with a total length of 5.8 kilometers. There are many free viewing platforms along the way. Every road leads to the beach. You can catch crabs and collect shells!
Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xiamen Island from another angle. You can have a panoramic view of Xiamen's landmark buildings, and then watch the entire Xiamen Island change from the hustle and bustle of the day to the gentleness of the night and then to the magnificence of the night.
You can also see many retro small fishing boats, which are comfortable to ride on, comfortable to blow on, and extremely comfortable to walk on. The transportation is also very convenient, Line 2 can be reached directly.
Xiamen Yinggelou Seafood Restaurant
The place where Qi’s mother treated her three siblings to dinner was the Seafood Restaurant in the Minzu Road Building in Xiamen City. Yingge Building is a famous overseas Chinese residence in Xiamen. Built in 1937, it has a profound memory of Xiamen and is unforgettable.
Most of the columns in the entire Western-style building are Onek-style love columns, and some are Corinthian-style columns. The columns have exquisite reliefs and the windows are colorful geometric squares.
The overall style is simple and elegant, combining Chinese and Western styles, mainly Western style, without losing the regional style of southern Fujian.
After renovation in 1998, it will reopen to the public. Basically, it will be transformed into a Fujian seafood restaurant while retaining the original form. The first to third floors, especially the third floor, have open balconies and small stairs leading to the roof, overlooking Gulangyu Island and the estuary of the Jiulong River!
The restaurant itself is also very cost-effective. Serving seafood, home-cooked meals and snacks. Lobster satay noodles, ancient Fujian vinegar pork, and pumpkin native pork soup are all good choices.
Not far from the restaurant is the most prosperous Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street in Xiamen. As the oldest commercial street, there are Southeast Asian-style arcades, colorful night views, and various Fujian and Taiwan snacks.
