Wulin traditional village was formed during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, with 136 various ancient buildings such as the Ming Dynasty's Baifu Wall, Qing Dynasty's official red brick mansion, Gothic and Roman style Western-style buildings, and Fanzi buildings, showing the architectural history of the combination of Chinese and Western, the cultural history of Minnan overseas Chinese, the entrepreneurial history of Fujian people going to Nanyang, and the history of exchanges between China and Southeast Asian countries. 'Nyonya' originates from the 'Baba-Nyonya' ethnic group in Southeast Asia. During the Ming Dynasty, with Zheng He's voyages to the West, a large number of Chinese, especially Minnan people, began to 'go to Nanyang', and the Malacca region of Malaysia became a settlement for Chinese. Some of them gradually married with the locals, and their children, males were called 'Baba', and females were called 'Nyonya'. Especially the 'Nyonya', they maintain the Chinese heritage in food, clothing and marriage customs, and after hundreds of years of cultural blending, they have performed a unique Nyonya culture.

How can one miss the Nyonya costume change in Wulin when visiting Quanzhou? The joy that cost 80 yuan today was given by Wulin~ Once you arrive at the Wulin scenic area, you'll see Nyonya costume changes everywhere. My personal suggestion is that unless you have already made an appointment with a very popular internet-famous store and photographer, your choice should be like shopping for clothes: you can go into the store to browse, find the style and color of the clothes you like in advance, and then let the merchant match them for you. Try to find a larger store with clean costumes and a complete range of accessories, where you can pick first and pay later. Don't be shy; make sure to choose something you're satisfied with. The 80 yuan includes a set of clothes, a vest, hairstyle, and shoes, all at a uniform price. If you want more choices, be sure to go early, otherwise the clothes might be rented out by others. Makeup requires an additional fee. Unless you really don't know how to take photos, or you are traveling alone, finding a photographer on the spot is likely to be a disappointment. The final photos may not have the same feel as the customer photos you see on the platform, and the customer photos they show you may not even be taken by their own photographers, or they may not be able to arrange for that photographer for you at the moment. Most of them are the kind of package deals that come with the store's assembly line. Although the price won't be very expensive, starting from 200 or 300 yuan, I personally don't like the experience of that assembly line. In short, the Nyonya costume change is still worth experiencing, and as for the rest, it depends on personal needs. The most photogenic spots are basically around the 'Chaodong Building', the closest building to the intersection. Wulin is currently not only free of admission but also free parking, although the parking lot is about a 10-minute walk from the scenic area.
