May be living in the sea, is normally not have chosen the coastal city as a tourist destination. Be regarded as representative of Xiamen, Fujian since the city, fame even more than the provincial capital Fuzhou, so they Xiamen, Fujian Province, as the trip to the terminus.
Quanzhou to Xiamen for more than two hours, arriving in the afternoon when. Xiamen, public transport is very convenient for casual one on the bus to the terminal. Usually in Guangdong got used to vernacular newspaper in Mandarin and the station names, first arrived in Xiamen to hear Chinese and English newspapers station names, people feel Xiamen in an open and exchanges in the West superior. Xiamen, of course, an open economy well, eat Daoshi inexpensive, and those living in relatively expensive. He finally got a bustling Zhongshan Road found a 180 standard rooms, the walls of photographs to tell me that I lived here, Yu Da-fu, ancient buildings, wooden staircase, it appears as a reminder.
Clean air, clean city, wealthy people, these are usually characteristics of the coastal city of Xiamen have, but there are other people do not have Gulangyu Xiamen. To lay down their backpacks, they go to port. The ferry is very convenient, the number of railings at the entrance with automatic controls, and 24 hours service. Squeeze on board is not going to buy a ticket, one inquire, I discovered that back when the ticket.
Under the boat, followed behind the others, through the all-specialty and tourist shops, we came to the Sunlight Rock Park. Park, there is no unique things, a few temples, several sculptures, cable cars, Bainiao Yuan. The only people excited is the highest point on board as a whole Gulangyu - Sunlight Rock. Board this iconic rock, looking ahead, the Gulangyu panoramic view, and Xiamen, across the urban Gean far along a cable-stayed bridge, in particular, like the Golden Gate Bridge. Sunlight Rock on the tour is like to you about - the right of everyone to year, there is our homeland Taiwan and Taiwan, vague is the size of Kinmen Island. We look left, where the United States, you Look at the Golden Gate Bridge is, in our feet.
Sunlight Rock down the coastal highway will be seated next to a chair, waiting for dark. Over time, high-rise buildings in cities across the little lit up, though not enough lights brightly lit, but it is also very beautiful, warm sea breeze blowing, really a little bit here is my home.
The next morning we went straight to visit Xiamen University Daming heard so much about. On the Internet to see an article, the Xiamen University said to be America's no longer the United States, the United States than in the park. Perhaps expectations are too high, had indeed, a good Xiamen University, in my eyes but not much critical appeal. A trip out of the door is Nanputuo Temple. Just in time Sunday is who started milling around the head temple, my interest is in the temple a large number of tourist goods outlets picked up a Village, bought some Buddhist CD, can be considered point of sesame oil to donate money. Then shining on line said in another article, to taste a bit of Putuo Temple authentic vegetarian food, there is no article that cheap, but it also still affordable.
Go back on the road, visitors unabated, through the noisy crowd, upset. Qing Xin Xiangfo I do not know whether it can really talking about things like the monks? I do not know nun falls through the sale of travel products and open Buddha bead of light, the heart, the eyes are not really "empty"?
And then go after the Sun Island beach resort and the ancient forts, because there is not much interest, but too hastily, or even because the 25 yuan a ticket but not into the old fort. Daoshi after the specialty in Zhongshan on the road, when buying the contrary, a little interest, there is a "yellow then and peanut soup shop" pie, taste good, people buy a lot. Also in Datong Road, found a "Wu Adds," snack bar, there are given the characteristics of Xiamen snacks signs, dozens of kinds of snacks, the primitive store, cheap price, can not but taste. The Chike mostly locals kept alive the feel of authentic snacks, although for me a little bit not used to.
From Xiamen is in the evening, Britain Britain's car, Hun Hun head, shut our eyes, everything will have no memory.
