How to book

Passport route · assistance may be needed
Channel

The Jimei government profile names the Tan Kah Kee memorial within the managed Jimei heritage cluster, but does not publish a current memorial reservation route.

When to book

No official lead time is stated; confirm whether the memorial and Aoyuan use separate rules.

Booking steps

  1. 1

    Read the Jimei government page and distinguish the memorial from the wider Jimei School Village and Aoyuan area.

  2. 2

    Contact the current official visitor service and ask about date, passport registration and any Aoyuan gate requirement.

  3. 3

    Bring the passport and the written answer to the Aoyuan or memorial staffed entrance named by the venue.

What to bring

Passport handling and the relationship between memorial entry and the managed Aoyuan area are not confirmed publicly.

If booking does not work

If the venue cannot confirm a foreign-passport route, ask at the official staffed desk; do not infer that a free memorial is automatically reservation-free.

Foreigner notes

Map the arrival point

Use the full Chinese name and address for Tan Kah Kee Memorial Museum, then check the final walk from the drop-off point to the gate.

Passport and phone rules vary

The official page confirms the memorial as part of the heritage cluster, but current booking evidence is insufficient and remains unconfirmed.

Crowd patterns are starting points

The quiet window listed for Tan Kah Kee Memorial Museum can shift with events and weather. Recheck the official notice before committing the route.

Treat hours as a starting point

Normal opening profile: Tue-Sun: 09:00-18:00; last entry 17:30; closed mon. The memorial is inside the Jimei Aoyuan managed area; its ticket boundary and passport workflow are not fully separated in current public information.

Keep the arrival point handy

Save 陈嘉庚纪念馆 and 集美街道鳌园路24号集美鳌园景区(东北角) before leaving; the last walk is easier when the gate is already marked.
