Greetings! I am trying to look for someone to give me information regarding a place where my great-grandfather came from if how it looks like there and how are the people there now. The place is 福建晋江新门外古圳村 My great grandfather's name is 陳成宗 or Tan Seng Chong who died June 1957, he had his first wife there, I believe in the name of 蔡秋径。. He came to Philippines with the name "Lip Chua Tan Seng" and married a Filipina, I believe the place is in Jinjiang, Fujian, China where most of the Filipino-Chinese came from. After this pandemic and when everything is normal, my family would really like to visit them. Thank you.

But sir, as I look upon the google map that you have placed in your reply, it looks like two new buildings facing each other near a track and field place. And I also have tried to look at another 古圳村, it has a lot of old houses. map.baidu.com/poi/古圳/@13196682.706603218,2847911.9871994494,18.62z/maptype%3DB_EARTH_MAP?uid=606ab0d09a463c2a0e3dda2c&ugc_type=3&ugc_ver=1&device_ratio=2&compat=1&querytype=detailConInfo&da_src=shareurl

Looks like the locations on Google Mapsis are still offset, for national security reasons, by the Chinese digital cartographic database which is being used by Google Maps.
About 200 meters to the west are many village buildings. The exact village location can be confirmed by the Foreign & Overseas Chinese Affairs Office or by a local guide.
