    "Give the children patriotism education. There is a beach next to the taxi and you should go forward. As a result, I followed the crowd to the side road and ran to the wooden platform. Finally, I went around the east gate. There are also beaches under the wooden platform. There are still few people. I don’t know if it will be flooded when the tide is high."

    "Sister Wang is serious and responsible, and took our family to catch a lot of things, including sharks. Because the children are young, everything is slowed down. Sister Wang takes our family to play all kinds of things. The scenery is also very good. It is really suitable for a slow-paced place to catch the sea and drink tea and eat seafood. Attach a photo of the sea coach Wang Jie."

    Highlights: Zeng Cuo An Village is located on Xiamen's Huandao Road. It slowly transformed from a rustic coastal fishing village to today's popular and innovative cultural village. Despite all the hustle and bustle, it still retains its old charm today. You can make a pot of tea and sit on a old wooden rattan chair to view the sea breeze, or you can also take a walk through the alleys of the village to have some local delights and observe how locals go about their daily lives. With the sunlight shining through the vines over of your head and the smells of the salty sea breeze, you will enjoy this tranquility amidst the bustling city.
