When Tan Kah-kee set up Jimei School and Xiamen University, he blended Chinese traditional architectural techniques into western buildings and created buildings of Kah-kee style by fusion of Chinese and Western arts with unmatched delicacy of shapes and colors, another legacy left by Kah-kee to Xiamen. The garden covers an area of more than 30000 square meters with a building area of 5500 square meters.
Inside the garden there are pavilions and towers with red pillars, larmiers and glazed roof tiles as far as the eye can see. They are connected one by one along the zigzag corridor to form a cloth for dragon exhibition. With courtyards of the Chinese style remaining dominant, there are also ponds, zigzag bridges, stone railings, and grassland in the garden, whose structure and arrangement are of charming agreeability. At the center of west park there are a set of large-sized relieves "Fragrant Flowers", displaying the flourishing vision that Tan Kah-kee set up schools and cultivated numerous talented people. Large numbers of students look up at the Jimei Monument to Liberation to muse over the grace of the school master. In the east of the garden is the honor monument of respecting teachers and emphasizing education. It is sculpted into a giant candle carved with the names of persons and units that donate money to set up schools. Carpets of lawns and city trees and flowers, which spread all over the garden, enrich the garden and are a magnet for tourists.
The other scenic spots in Jimen tourist area are the old rampart of Yanping, Jimei School Village, Return Hall, Dragon Boat Pond and Home of Kah-kee.
