中国,福建省漳州市,海澄镇,古楼

[teo]

May I know where is Gulou? I cannot find in the map.

What is 古楼 Gulou? A village or store? But 海澄 Hai Cheng is located at approx. 24.412513, 117.855664 coordinates.

That's a boutique by that name at this coordinate 24.445831, 117.818526.

teo,

I think this is the 古樓 Gu Lou village you are looking for: click here for link to Google Maps location.

You may notice the difference in addresses.

Current address:

福建省 廈門市 海滄區 古樓

Fujian Province, Xiamen City (Amoy), Haicang District, Gulou

Historical address:

福建省 漳州府 海澄縣 古樓

Fujian Province, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Haicheng County, Gulou

According to Wikipedia (link): 

在清朝及以前，除今海滄區（東孚除外）原屬漳州府海澄縣外，今日廈門市的其餘全部區域都屬於泉州府同安縣。
During the Qing dynasty and prior, except for today's Haicang District which was administrated under Zhangzhou Prefecture's Haicheng County, the rest of Xiamen City (Amoy) was administrated under Quanzhou Prefecture's Tong'an County.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Jason

A 张 dominant village? www.haicang.gov.cn/wiki/index.php?doc-view-203
Search 廈門市海滄區古樓 in map.baidu.com map.qq.com They had "street view" nearby.

海沧 Early ROC = 海澄县第三都 1940 = 第四区署 11 Aug 1958 = Kicked out from 漳州 & joins Xiamen

Other ex-海澄縣 that still in 漳州 are known as 龙海市 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longhai_City nowadays

After Gulou village, do we have the next level about the street or the area?
Because my great grandfather was from 7th street or area.(in hokkien it was pronounced as`館')
Thank you for all the help.
