I hope the city becomes more globalized, mixing natural beauty and human-made advancement seamlessly.
Kowloon station is well managed with friendly staff and advanced facilities. So the journey was going smoothly even though I came from overseas with pieces of luggage. It took only about three hours to arrive in Xiamen, which was famous for its coastlines, islands, gardens, and plants.
Like Italy, Fujian has natural beauty with long coastlines and elegant mountains. It has been called “ a land of Blessings.” As “Fu” means luck and “Jian” means construction. There are famous mountains which attract numerous tourists every year. The cities there are beautiful with mountains lining up and mother rivers flowing through. The weather is warm. The first sightseeing I visited was Zhongshan Park which was decorated with dragons and other holiday ornaments. Local residents came here to take on various entertainment activities such as dancing, playing chess, poker, or kiting.
I visited the famous Gulangyu island there. You have to take the ferry from the harbor in the city to the island. The ferry station is finely designed with a cool cartoon image; lots of people were waiting to take off. But the water trip only took about twenty minutes. It’s a cloudy day and the sea is calm. After passing through the skyscrapers in the city center, I arrived at the piano port. The island was decorated with winter holiday ornaments and full of tourists.
There are many gift shops and restaurants on the island. There are a few museums and aquariums; there at which tourists can entertain themselves educationally. I walked across the culture-enriched street and visited nearby gardens and museums. Fujian is famous for its tea products. So I visited one of the tea museums which manufactured tea products that are sold all over the
world. They demonstrated the brand name with comprehensive instructions and displayed the gift boxes of different tea packages. I suggested they pack teas into smaller tea boxes; so prospective customers can try some samples and make purchasing decisions.
The ocean looks calm and the island is full of energy. I also visited the other park “Yu Yuan,” in which I saw the sculpture of a famous female doctor - Ms. Linq Qiao Zhi in the nation, who came from a Christian family in Xiamen, she delivered more than 50,000 babies in her entire life. I believe the people of Xiamen are very proud of her.
After that I also visited the park Bailuzhou; it’s a beautiful park with elegant female sculptures; a music fountain and a pigeon square. In the mid-afternoon tourists fed pigeons, then pigeons flew away synchronously. I thought there were bird masters behind the pigeon performance. The atmosphere is harmonious and cheerful in the park.
Beautiful parks, a calm seashore, friendly people, etc, all created great scenery and made my trip to Xia Men fulfilling. I saw a few foreigners, but the majority of people are Asian natives. I didn’t see people of different races all over the world coming to visit here. I hope the city becomes more globalized, mixing natural beauty and human-made advancement seamlessly.
