Dao Nan Building

The Dao Nan Building was built in the spring of 1962 and is the latest-completed structure among the “Tan Kah Kee-style” buildings at Jimei Middle School, representing the late phase of this architectural style. The name “Dao Nan” comes from a quote in The Analects of Confucius: “My Way has reached the south.” In 2008, the building was extensively renovated—the flooring was updated to a reinforced concrete structure, and the walls were reconstructed using steel shear-wall techniques. “Tan Kah Kee-style” architecture frequently employs finely grained granite sourced locally in southern Fujian, known for its vibrant colors.
