A spectacular ancient coastal defence installation with a long and warlike history. But these days it is peaceful... a garden-like setting with a view of Quemoy and Matsu, only two kilometers away. Leave a Comment

Just a short ferry ride from Xiamen, this restful island offers golden beaches but no motor vehicles or even bicycles. Traditionally famed for its musicians, Gulang Island became an international settlement in 1902. The resulting consulates feature Roman, Gothic, Germanic and Spanish architectural styles.

The recently upgraded Anthropological Museum exhibits models, pottery, stoneware, calligraphy, currency, art and weapons. Also on campus is a Memorial Hall to revolutionary writer Lu Xun. Maps are available at university gates. Leave a Comment

Kinmen is an island under Taiwan (R.O.C) administration; while Xiamen is under Communist (P.R.C) rule. The systems are not the same. When Xiamen is trying its best to become bigger, Taiwan government decides to make Kinmen a national park to commemorate those days when KMT was fighting with Communists.
Now you may take a short boat trip departing from ferry quay, it costs RMB126/106. You will have a close look at my lovely Kinmen. Leave a Comment

RyYueGu hotsprings are top end ones. The 40 et more pools are located into a luxuriant tropical garden.
The pools are hot or very hot, but you find also a swimming pool that has an adequate temperature.
The pool are aromatized: curry, lavender, roses, tea, wine, etc...
If you want to dry a bit, just lay down on hot granitic stones and have massages (foot, back, head). You can also let clean your ears.
One of the highlights is "Fish SPA": let little fishes clean your dead skins (see joined picture).
It's open from noon until 1 am. The restaurants give you dressing gown, so you are not cold. Taking photographs is not allowed in the Park.
Price is quite expensive for China: around 100-150 yuan full day.
If you want to splurge, have a room in the 5 stars hotel in front of the SPA. Each room has its own thermal bath.
The hotel has also a beautiful swimming pool.

There is one cannon, which has been recognised to be largest in the world, antique from Qing Dynasty. There used to be two, but one was melted during the crazy culture revolution in mid-60s. Also, this fortress used to be a barrack during the Qing Dynasty. During the China-Japan war, this cannon had successfully destroy one Japanese ship. The cannon was made in Germany, and travelled half of the world to reach it current location. Leave a Comment
