It is said that Xiamen is a very charming city. The sea and sky are pure blue, which is extremely beautiful.
Hello! Xiamen, we are here! Loving you is non-negotiable.
In fact, I am no stranger to Xiamen. I went there once in 1989 and again in 1990, and stayed one night on Gulangyu Island...
As everyone knows, parting It has been 30 years, and I still have a chance to visit Xiamen again in this life. On November 29, 2020, a total of 76 people from the cultural and artistic team of the Sunshine Volunteer Love Alliance at the Chongqing Center of the Noble Health Stage came to Xiamen to participate in the cultural tourism performance activities held here.
Traveling and performing is nothing new. Especially after everyone has experienced the epidemic prevention and control, especially our generation, they are more eager to go to nature to bathe in the sunshine and let their mood go. On the one hand, you can travel to your favorite scenic spots, and on the other hand, you can show your style on the artistic performance stage set up by the organizer and organizing committee of this event. It can be said that: the emphasis is on participation, physical and mental health will be harvested, and everyone will be happy. Friends traveling along the way are all familiar faces, such as the brothers and sisters from No. 36 Middle School, the sisters from the No. 45 Regiment, the chorus members from the No. 1 Regiment, friends from the Yuzhong District Educated Youth Branch, and Sunshine Volunteers. A Xin and others from the volunteer team, all of whom are close friends of the Sunshine Volunteer Love Alliance, have been actively participating in various activities for a long time, so give them a thumbs up!
The 181st Regiment from Tongliang is worthy of praise. Except for one male compatriot, all 27 members are beauties. These goddesses, with good looks and good figures, add a beautiful scenery to our performing team. I dare to predict that the result of this competition is that they will win the grand prize.
Life is like a journey full of unknowns. What I cared about before was the scenery along the way, but now what I care about is the mood while watching the scenery. After the epidemic, embrace the sunshine and go to Xiamen to share the warmth of spring and the blooming flowers facing the sea.
In the past, I have traveled to many places, seen a lot of scenery, learned some different things, and experienced different life experiences; only memory has left the most true memories in each passing time. The emotions and impressions of Xiamen are still so good-looking and beautiful.
If you don’t go to Gulangyu Island when you arrive in Xiamen, it will be meaningless. Therefore, this travelogue of mine must start with Gulangyu Island.
Gulangyu Island is famous far and wide. It is a famous business card of Xiamen and can even be said to be synonymous with Xiamen. Tourists must take a ferry to visit Gulangyu Island because there is no other way to get there.
On the shore, looking up, I saw a strait that is neither wide nor narrow, separating the city of Xiamen with high-rise buildings from the garden of Xiamen with deep alleys and villas. People came and went in a hurry, looking at the strange things for a while and watching the excitement at other times. They lamented that all the old stories and anecdotes were just passers-by.
Gulangyu Island is the soul of the city of Xiamen. Tourists must bring their souls to the island to have a beautiful encounter with Xiamen and a spiritual encounter.
This is Xiamen! The city is in the sea, and the sea is in the city. Because of the sea, the scenery of Xiamen is particularly beautiful.
Yes, no one doubts that Gulangyu is full of romantic poetry. If you can stay on Gulangyu Island for a few days, you may be intoxicated by this island on the first day.
Sunlight Rock is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island.
Sunlight Rock is commonly known as "Yanzaishan" and also known as "Huangyan". Sunlight Rock stands in the south of the central part of Gulangyu Island. It consists of two huge rocks, one vertical and one horizontal, leaning against each other. With an altitude of 92.7 meters, it is the highest peak of Gulangyu Island. In fact, it is not very high, but for Gulangyu, its height is convincing.
When you climb up to Sunlight Rock, you can have a panoramic view of the entire island. Facing the gusts of sea breeze, standing on Sunlight Rock and looking around, all the beautiful scenery can be taken in by your eyes.
Gulangyu is also a small island of music. In the famous Piano Museum, you can see all kinds of pianos. Photography is prohibited in the museum, but these pianos lying quietly have stories and are worth a lot of money. It can be said that these pianos are the dust and witnesses of history.
The Gulangyu Piano Museum was built in January 2000. It is located in the "Tingtao Pavilion" in Shuzhuang Garden, Gulangyu Scenic Area, covering an area of ??450 square meters. The Gulangyu Piano Museum is divided into two floors and two management buildings. The museum displays more than 40 ancient pianos collected by the patriotic overseas Chinese Hu Youyi, including rare and precious gold-plated pianos, the earliest square piano in the world, and the earliest and largest upright piano. There are ancient hand-operated pianos, pedal self-playing pianos and eight-legged clavichords produced a hundred years ago.
Listening to the music in the Piano Museum while overlooking Gulangyu Island is a feast for the ears. You can't help but be immersed in the beautiful and melodious music and never want to leave.
On the second day after arriving in Xiamen, the organizing committee arranged for us to go to a place, which is the famous Nanputuo Temple.
Nan Putuo Mountain is located under the Wulao Peak in the southeast of Xiamen City, covering an area of ??258,000 square meters and a construction area of ??21,270 square meters. It is a national key Buddhist temple in the Han area, the sixth batch of provincial cultural relics protection units in Fujian Province, and one of the eight major scenic spots in Xiamen.
Nanputuo Temple was built in the late Tang Dynasty. Its main buildings include the Tianwang Hall, the Main Hall, the Great Compassion Hall, the Sutra Pavilion, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Zen Hall, the Minnan Buddhist Academy, and the Buddhist Yangzhengyuan.
Xiamen is an open, free and comfortable city, and a good place to live. Nanputuo Temple is in such an environment, which will naturally affect many people and make them respect Buddhist culture.
Next to Nanputuo Temple is Xiamen University. We took a group photo at the gate as a souvenir.
November 30, a sunny day. In the morning, we went through a process, led by tour guide Xiao Xu, to a shopping mall to experience the feeling of latex mattresses.
Everyone understands that the latex mattress series products are not produced in Fujian. However, after the epidemic, in response to the call of the State Administration of Culture and Tourism to revitalize the economy and stimulate domestic demand, this is the decision of the local government cultural and tourism department and some One of the things arranged by the sponsor. To put it bluntly, you should consume rationally based on your feelings and do not force others to make purchases.
Fortunately, Xiao Xu’s efforts were not in vain. Lao Xiong and his wife spent more than 6,000 yuan to buy one.
After completing this process, we are going to visit the Fujian Tulou. It takes about two hours to drive there.
Taking advantage of the free time to write travel notes, I opened Baidu Netdisk and searched for information about Fujian Tulou.
The 2020 China Hua'an Regional Eco-tourism Integrated Development Conference and the "Fuzhou Tour Carnival-World Heritage Earth Tulou Cultural Tourism Week" series of activities will be held in Fujian from December 3 to December 6, 2020 Held in Hua'an County, Zhangzhou City, Shandong Province.
Hua'an is the birthplace of Fujian Tulou. There are 68 existing Tulou buildings, including the "Mother of Tulou" and "King of Tulou" and other representative groups of Tulou. They have distinctive regional characteristics, strong and special historical value, artistic value and scientific value. Here, visitors can not only appreciate the Tulou living culture of "taking both public and private interests into consideration, the world, the earth and the people", but also learn the experience of Tulou people in defending against foreign enemies passed down from generation to generation. In a word, everyone will benefit a lot from visiting the Tulou.
Here, some classic earth buildings, such as Dongyang Building, Nanyang Building, Eryi Building, etc., leave everyone in a happy mood.
It is understood that there are currently 90 tour guides in the Hua'an Tulou Group in Fujian. They are all local villagers. After professional training, each one is certified to work and greet tourists with the best spirit. Little A is one of them.
Under the leadership of Little A, we walked into a residential house. It turned out that this was the home of Little A’s eldest brother.
As Tulou publicity ambassadors, Xiao A and the others not only understand the Tulou culture, but also spread the living habits and economic sources of local residents to tourists. It can be said that these 90 tour guides with a local flavor have added a touch of gorgeous color to the scenic spot.
Fujian Hua’an Dadi Village not only has a national 4A scenic spot, but also a national standardized production base for green food raw materials (Tieguanyin tea). It has a national level beautiful countryside, the hometown of famous tea in China, and a national characteristic village of the Gaoshan ethnic group. reputation.
In the evening, we returned to Xiamen. Facing the cool sea breeze, the bus passed by Haicang Bridge. The magnificent bridge allowed us to witness the real Made in China.
Xiamen Haicang Bridge, located in the middle of Xiamen West Port, is a cross-strait highway bridge from Haicang Peninsula to Xiamen Island. It is also the first in Asia and the second in the world (at the time The three-span continuous fully floating steel box girder suspension bridge (second only to Denmark) represents the highest achievement of China's bridge construction level in the 20th century. The total length of the bridge is 5926.527 meters, and the construction width is 36.6 meters. Haicang Bridge is of great significance as Xiamen's second channel out of the island. Its completion symbolizes Xiamen's desire to realize a big city pattern of "close interaction among Xiamen districts" in the 21st century, connecting Haicang, Xinglin, Jimei, and Tong'an to form an interconnected Several related areas have enabled Xiamen to develop from an island city into a bay city.
Xiamen has a good environment, great greening projects, and the city is very clean. Everyone says so.
Taking a cruise along the Lujiang River to enjoy the night view of Xiamen is a visually beautiful enjoyment.
Some people say that Xiamen’s night sky is painted with light and shadow, and it is so beautiful that people are amazed.
Yes, the night view of Xiamen is indeed beautiful!
Because there are mountains, sea, arcades, and large houses here; this is Xiamen! A city rising in the blue ocean.

On the afternoon of November 2, it was nearly five o'clock When we were there, we went sightseeing in Gulangyu Island. Although we arrived on the island a little late, we couldn't help it, because we had to complete the prescribed itinerary that day → go shopping in the store.
Shopping in the store is an item arranged in this event, and it is also a necessary process. Everyone understands and expresses their understanding. Of course, your willingness to buy things must be determined based on your own needs. It doesn’t matter whether you buy more or less. What is important is that you need everyone’s support and cooperation. Needless to say, our entire team performed well and finally completed the task.
Before going to Gulangyu Island, we also went to a place to check in at the famous Xiamen "Internet Celebrity Bridge". In the blue sky, planes fly over from time to time.
When we arrived at Gulangyu Island, it was already dark.
Time is very tight, we can only "see the scenery" on the island, and many scenic spots cannot be seen. However, after all, we took a trip to Gulangyu Island, took some photos, and took the time to have a quick dinner on the island, and then got on the return ferry...
December 3rd , we are about to go back home. All in all, everyone is quite happy with this trip to Xiamen, especially the accommodation conditions. By the way, I would like to thank Xiao Xu, the Fujian tour guide in car No. 1, for taking care of us these days.
In fact, when we travel, we just want to have fun and be happy. As long as everyone has a good attitude, they can play all over the world.
In just four days, Xiamen, a beautiful bay city, left a deep impression on us. The close contact with Xiamen allowed us to see its most authentic side, with green trees and shades of trees. The streets are spacious, bright and very clean. There are sufficient reasons to believe that Xiamen has the potential for vigorous development.
Xiamen, goodbye! If we have a chance, we'll come again.
Conclusion: Everyone felt that the trip to Xiamen was worthwhile and full of memories. It is worth having.
