The former official residence of the British Consulate in Xiamen, located at No. 5, Zhangzhou Road, Gulangyu, Xiamen, is a beautiful courtyard hidden among green trees. Today, it has become an exhibition hall of Xiamen Jinquan Coin Museum.

The French windows are equipped with shutters to adjust sunlight, block sand and wind, and there are also fireplaces for decoration.
