    First of all, if you go there for the first time without someone to guide you or make a plan in advance, it will be a bit nonsense. Apart from watching the performance and taking pictures, there are too few things to play, especially for young children. They can't understand the performance and can't sit still.

    一枕槐安梦一枕槐安梦

    This was my first time dining on a cruise ship. The interactive activities on the third deck of the Hainan Rendez-Vous were quite good. The content certainly wasn't as extensive as what the bloggers filmed, but it was sufficient. If you're looking for something like a Douyin (TikTok) video, that would be even better. As for the actual event, perhaps due to the season, the program wasn't as extensive as those blogger videos, but overall it was still pretty good!

    🌹岁岁年年🌹🌹岁岁年年🌹

    Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is a distinctive tourist route in Xiamen, often hosting events like Xiamen Fashion Week and anime character cosplay, attracting many young tourists. The architecture itself bears the marks of its time, with many featuring Nanyang-style arcades.

    It's pretty good. The nightclub is much cheaper and cost-effective. I went there a little late. I didn't soak in the water when I came to Xiamen Beach, but I soaked in this pool. The children didn't play enough. I will come again if I have the chance. I'm happy.

    Jimei School Village, founded by Mr. Tan Kah Kee, comprises several schools including Jimei University and Jimei Middle School. Its unique architectural style blends traditional Minnan (Southern Fujian) traditions with Southeast Asian influences, earning it the nickname "Pearl of the Sea Garden." At night, Jimei School Village is brilliantly lit, with the night view around the Dragon Boat Pool being particularly enchanting. Strolling along the tree-lined paths of the campus, one can immerse oneself in its rich cultural atmosphere. For dinner, we recommend Jimei Dashe Satay Noodles near Jimei School Village. The satay broth is rich and flavorful, and the toppings are plentiful; it's a very popular local eatery.

    From the top floor of the Shimao Twin Towers next to Yanwu Bridge, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Xiamen. It's recommended to go in the evening to see both the daytime and nighttime views. Half an hour is enough to appreciate the scenery…

    人生就是修行-止人生就是修行-止

    I cycled the classic island-circling route from Xiamen University's Baicheng Beach to Wuyuan Bay Wetland Park. This time, I skipped the Wuyuan Bay Bridge and ended at Wuyuan Bay Wetland Park. The total distance is a little over 22 kilometers, and some sections are under construction. During the day, I cycled from my Huangcuo Beach accommodation to Wuyuan Bay. In the evening, I jogged east from Xiamen University's Baicheng for about two kilometers (I think I was at Pearl Bay Beach; it was dark, so I couldn't tell which beach it was) before finding a shared bike and cycling back to my Huangcuo Beach accommodation. Riding with the sea breeze and the ocean view was truly relaxing, and the night view was also beautiful. It's worth a ride if it's not too far away.

    Stepping into Nanputuo Temple, the aroma of incense mingles with the fragrance of ancient wood. Red walls and gray tiles reflect the blue sky, wind chimes tinkle softly on the eaves, and solemn Buddha statues stand within, where devout worshippers kneel in prayer. Walking around to the back of the temple, stone steps lead to Wulao Peak, lush with greenery along the way, where you might occasionally see monks strolling by. After descending the mountain, don't forget to try the vegetarian pastries outside the temple; the mung bean filling is sweet and refreshing. Here, there is no hustle and bustle, only a tranquil peace that calms the mind; even the wind carries a touch of Zen.
