"Fishing Village Under Aircraft - Gaoqi Village is located at the northernmost point of Xiamen Island. Historically, it served as the nearest ferry terminal for travelers arriving in Xiamen from the mainland by boat. In the 1980s, the urban airport was constructed near the village. Restricted by the height limitations imposed by flight paths, this fishing village under the aircraft managed to avoid demolition and disappearance among the rapid urbanization."
"Restricted by the height limitations imposed by flight paths, this fishing village under the aircraft managed to avoid demolition and disappearance among the rapid urbanization. It has preserved its original morph and continued to develop traditional fisheries today. With population of over 20,000, the village suffers from the shortage of public facilities. To address this issue, the local government plans to restore and renovate the abandoned Lins-Courtyard, transforming it into a community service center that will benefit residents in the surrounding area."
Gaoqi Village sits at the northernmost point of Xiamen Island and historically functioned as the nearest ferry terminal for mainland arrivals. The construction of an urban airport in the 1980s imposed flight-path height limits that prevented demolition and allowed the village to retain its original form. The settlement has continued to develop traditional fisheries while remaining constrained in vertical growth by aviation restrictions. The village population exceeds 20,000 and faces a shortage of public facilities. The local government plans to restore and renovate the abandoned Lins-Courtyard into a community service center to provide services for surrounding residents and address facility gaps.
