Xiamen aka: 厦门

It has romantic names such as “island of music” or “garden of the sea”. It is said there are many famous musicians born there. As to “garden of the sea,” you may see that from my pictures.Sometimes, when i feel it should, i would like to travel alone. I went to Xiamen for several days, especially to see gulangyu.

Overwhelmed with the blue sea and shining water, i thought i was in a paradise, which is so fierce in Robinson’s world. Yeah, i also want to write a diary, naming it “Gulangyu Cruise”.

2003年。去了鼓浪屿，普陀寺，植物园，中山街。印象最深刻的当然是鼓浪屿！另外环岛路非常漂亮，大约是我到过的最浪漫的公路了，不过不开车也许感受不出来:)

对于厦门总体的印象是：安静，悠闲，清爽。很适合居住和养老的海滨城市。这里的居民爱好文艺，民风淳朴，与世无争，让人很容易亲近。唯一不习惯的就是这边的饮食，对于我这个四川人来说太清淡了些，呵呵。

Yummy! If you want the best in seafood stick to the coast and a small city like Xiamen (which isn’t so crowded that awful tourist trap places can exist but just small enough to have great food everywhere). Yes, just about everywhere you go the food is awesome and at tremendously inexpensive prices. The best food I have ever eaten by a long long way. Thanks Xiamen.

There are so many delicious snacks, peanut soup, sticky rice, beaf jerky… People enjoy the life there. The speed of the city is neither fast nor slow. Hope to spare my lifetime there when I am old.
