    Gulangyu Island is predominantly mountainous, boasting natural landscapes such as reefs and rocky outcrops. Its coastline is winding and surrounded by the sea. The climate is warm and humid year-round, with mild winters and cool summers. Major attractions on Gulangyu include Sunlight Rock, Shuzhuang Garden, and Haoyue Garden.

    Xiamen Botanical Garden is definitely worth a visit; this trip was truly eye-opening! The succulent area was especially interesting, with its uniquely shaped cacti and succulents being a real eye-catcher and perfect for taking photos. The rainforest area's timed misting created an amazing atmosphere; when the sunlight shone through the mist, it felt like stepping into a fairyland. I had also planned to visit the flower area, but unfortunately, I misjudged the time and missed the evening sightseeing bus, which was a small regret. However, it gave me a reason to come back! I've decided to set aside more time next time to explore the flower area and other corners properly! I highly recommend going early and allowing plenty of time to stroll around; it's perfect for relaxing, taking photos, and connecting with nature!

    As expected, the 4-5 pm time slot is the most popular, but the view is definitely worth it. After exchanging your tickets on the second floor, you can start queuing. It's best to arrive about 20 minutes early for your desired time slot, as it takes about 10 minutes to get from the tree-lined side to the Petronas Towers side.

    Cycling or driving around the island is highly recommended, especially the northern route (Longwangtou - Changjiang'ao - Northern Ecological Corridor) and the southern route (Longwangtou - 68 Nautical Mile Scenic Area - Tannan Bay). • The island has strong ultraviolet radiation, so be sure to take precautions against sunburn (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses). • Some experiences are affected by weather and tides (such as watching "blue tears" and hiking), so it is recommended to check the latest information before traveling. In short, Pingtan Island offers magnificent natural scenery, a rich historical heritage, and a wealth of modern activities.

    I've been to Wuyishan twice and highly recommend it. It truly lives up to its reputation as a World Heritage Site, a National Park of China, and one of China's Top Ten Famous Mountains. Although the scenic area is large, the shuttle buses are quite convenient, making the visit less tiring. We drove there and stayed in the city center, where the hotels were great value for money.

    Hulishan Fortress retains its majestic century-old appearance, with its Krupp cannons still awe-inspiring. The weathered stone walls stand tall and unwavering, overlooking the Xiamen-Kinmen Strait. The fortress museum, 4D cinema, and Qing Dynasty military drills intertwine to create an immersive historical panorama, while VR interaction adds a novel touch. Tickets are affordable, and combined tickets are convenient. However, the exhibits are somewhat limited and maintenance is slightly lacking. It's especially beautiful for taking photos at dawn and dusk, and the nighttime light and shadow effects are romantic. Combining education, sightseeing, and family fun, it's a must-visit, lesser-known classic in Xiamen.

    如梦令走天下如梦令走天下

    Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is well worth a visit; it's Quanzhou's only 5A-level scenic area. Qingyuan Mountain is primarily a famous Taoist mountain. Records of Taoist practice date back to the Qin Dynasty. Currently, there are 9 stone sculptures in 7 sites dating from the Tang to Qing Dynasties, including Taoist and Buddhist statues, and over 600 cliff carvings. The Laozi Rock Sculpture, in particular, is the oldest and largest existing Taoist stone sculpture of Laozi in China, a typical representative of Qingyuan Mountain's diverse culture, and is hailed as "Laozi, the First Under Heaven." I didn't know, but when I saw it, I was amazed. This Laozi statue in Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is so adorable. Located on the central axis of the ancient city of Quanzhou, it is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The entire statue is carved from a single piece of natural granite, standing 5.63 meters high, 8.01 meters wide, and 6.85 meters thick, with a floor area of ​​55 square meters. The statue, facing south, vividly and realistically recreates Lao Tzu's natural tranquility, serene detachment, otherworldly air, and open-minded yet approachable demeanor, devoid of any dignified or awe-inspiring mystique, appearing instead endearing and friendly. I chose to hike up the mountain and take a car down. Qingyuan Mountain isn't particularly high compared to the mountains in Sichuan, which often reach 3,000-4,000 meters, with an elevation of only 498 meters. However, it's quite steep, making the climb rather tiring. I carried my backpack, taking photos of the scenery as I climbed, stopping frequently, and it took me two and a half hours to reach the highest point of Qingyuan Mountain—Nantai Rock. Located on the right peak of Qingyuan Mountain, Nantai Rock is the highest point in the scenic area offering a panoramic view of Quanzhou City. Another noteworthy feature of the Qingyuan Mountain Scenic Area is the famous stupa containing the relics of Master Hongyi. The stupa containing the relics of Master Hongyi is located in the middle section of Qingyuan Mountain. Built in 1952, it is a hexagonal stone stupa with a square body and a pointed roof. The entire stone pagoda consists of a single stone chamber and a stupa containing relics. In the center of the inner wall is a diabase carving of a portrait of Master Hongyi, a portrait of his mentor drawn by the famous cartoonist Feng Zikai in the style of "Tears in Ink." To the east of the pagoda is a large stone inscribed with the master's last calligraphy, "A mixture of sorrow and joy," while to the west is a stele bearing the biography of Master Hongyi, along with a statue of him. He is the author of the well-known song "Farewell." Master Hongyi advocated the patriotic principle of "reciting Buddha's name while remembering to save the country," and he propagated Buddhism in southern Fujian for 14 years, exerting a profound influence. Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, fragrant grasses stretch to the horizon…

    Staying in a traditional earthen building with modern facilities, it's comfortable, pleasant, and elegant. The butler provides attentive one-on-one service, always ready to assist. It's a rural tourism experience that meets modern five-star service standards. I would definitely recommend it to friends!

    It doesn't look very big, but the kids could spend a whole day there! It's quite good; we bought a full-access ticket! The movies are optional, but the science museum has several good shows every day that teach you about science, like electricity and optics! Very interesting... There are also many interactive exhibits! The giant whale exhibit is also quite impressive... and you can even ask for a guided tour!
