Tekemistä paikassa Xiamen

I was quite excited for my first visit to a World Heritage Site on June 17th. Our tour guide that day was A-Jian. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, and it rained all day. Despite this, our guide was very patient, picking up and dropping off every traveler, and meticulously explained the history with a touch of humor, which kept the trip from feeling dull.

The service is quite good, and the dancers perform diligently, making for an excellent show. It's very suitable for bringing older family members. If you're worried about feeling awkward, don't choose the most expensive seats. Instead, opt for the first row on either side, which is closest to the dancers and often includes interactive games.

Kiitos kuljettaja Xiao Zhangille, että hän nouti ja jätti meidät ajoissa. Oli hienoa nähdä tulou-rakennuksia, jotka tuntuivat kuin ne olisivat hypänneet suoraan oppikirjasta – täällä on yli 30 000 tulou-rakennusta! Yunshuiyao oli kaunis, ja kiitos Xiao Zhangille, että hän auttoi meitä ottamaan kuvia 🤳. Suosittelen lämpimästi 👍👍👍

Vaikka varasin matkan tietämättä, että se oli paikallinen kiertue Kiinassa, se oli hauskaa. Olen korealainen, ja minusta pidettiin hyvää huolta alusta loppuun. Minulla oli ongelmia WeChat-sovelluksen kanssa, joten kommunikoin sähköpostitse, ja nouto/palautus hotellin lähelle teki matkustamisesta mukavaa. Itse asiassa, koska se oli paikallinen kiertue, sain nähdä luonnollisemman ja aidomman puolen. Vaikka en ymmärtänyt juuri mitään kiinankielisestä selityksestä, visuaalinen nautinto oli paljon suurempi. Ja tulkkaussovelluksen avulla matkustaminen ei ole liian vaikeaa. Kiitos hyvästä huolenpidosta!

Although we stayed at a hotel that was a bit difficult to find, we had communicated via WeChat beforehand, so they picked us up right on time in front of the hotel. The guide only spoke Chinese, but we were able to communicate perfectly using written messages on a smartphone. It was a tour we could participate in with peace of mind and enjoyment. Since there were only two of us on the tour, we essentially got to enjoy it as a private charter. The guide was also very kind, and we had a stress-free experience throughout.

If you're interested in history, this is a must-visit destination. The place offers a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, making it perfect for exploring and appreciating its rich heritage. The beautiful views add to the charm and create a relaxing experience. Don't miss the chance to try the local food, which is both delicious and authentic. Whether you're visiting for the history, the scenery, or the cuisine, this destination is well worth the trip and leaves you with wonderful memories.

The Xiamen Ancient Residence Scenic Area wasn't anything special. There were no people around, almost nothing was running, and we just had to look at the old, on-display exhibits and leave. However, the Minnan Legend show was worth seeing at least once with my parents. I was very worried because some reviews mentioned that the restrooms were dirty, but the restrooms were actually well-maintained and clean. We booked premier seats, so there weren't many people around us, and we were able to watch comfortably. Most of the audience is Chinese. Actually, there isn't a huge difference in the seats, but since it was just us in our area, it was less noisy and comfortable. Also, during the performance, translated text is shown on both the left and right sides.

Manner-Kiina on todella ystävällinen tupakoitsijoille, sillä tupakointi on sallittua niin markkinaravintoloissa kuin Lujiang-yöristeilylläkin 👍 Se on todellakin kulttuuriero 🤣 Taiwanissa sisätiloissa tupakoinnista saisi paheksuvia katseita 😂 Xiamen on niin kaunis, ja Twin Towers -teema on upea ♥ Ylimmän kerroksen teepöytä laivalla maksaa 200 RMB, eli tuhat Taiwanin dollaria 🤣
