Xiamen

Xiamen is in the Fujian province and is a major city on the southeast coast of the China. It took us more than 7 hours to travel down to Xiamen. Such a great place to escape to away from the winter cold.
One of the must see attractions of Xiamen is Gulangyu island. This island has no cars! This is a view of Gulangyu island from our hotel window.

 You would need a whole day to explore the island and wear good walking shoes!

The ferry across to the island was very cheap!

On the island there is a lot of great local shopping opportunities. If you like pearls then you can bargain for a pair of earrings or a necklace.

We spent the whole day there then caught the ferry back at about 4pm.

It was nice to have fresh seafood during the 4 days in Xiamen.
