    It's a fully commercialized ancient town nestled in the mountains and waters. There are many ancient banyan trees, and the earthen buildings are just so-so. If you haven't seen them before, it's worth a visit; they're wooden structures. If you want to go upstairs, the local residents will charge you 5 yuan per person.

    Staying in a traditional earthen building with modern facilities, it's comfortable, pleasant, and elegant. The butler provides attentive one-on-one service, always ready to assist. It's a rural tourism experience that meets modern five-star service standards. I would definitely recommend it to friends!

    While visiting Yuchang Building, I quite enjoyed the winding village paths that allowed me to fully appreciate the scenery of Zhangzhou villages. I especially noticed the many withered banana trees; I imagine it must look quite different when the bananas are ripe. There were many vendors selling oranges and tangerines along the way, but avoid the wrinkled ones – they won't taste good. For the same price, buy the common Wogan tangerines; they're sweeter here than anywhere else! Yuchang Building is a rather unique earthen building because each floor is different. The supporting pillars of its corridors are all crooked, in a regular pattern. If odd-numbered floors all lean to the right, then even-numbered floors all lean to the left, hence the name "East-Leaning, West-Sloping Building." It can be a bit dizzying to look at, but the structure is actually quite stable. I also felt that the ancestral temple in the square of Yuchang Building was the most simple, without any major renovations, just its original, naturally weathered appearance. Of course, I noticed that I wasn't the only visitor; it seemed like everyone was experiencing aesthetic fatigue: fewer people were taking photos, the visit was rushed, and there was a greater desire to leave. ...When I recalled this, I noticed a photo with a sign saying "Free to Visit the Well." I must have remembered wrong; the kid spitting wasn't at Huaiyuan Tower, but at this Yuchang Tower...

    The ancient city of Zhangzhou is a city with a "river as the city and a bridge as the gate" and a street layout of "nine streets and thirteen alleys". Ancient sites such as the Temple of Confucius, the Temple of Martial Arts, and the Shangshu Tanhua Square carry a thousand-year cultural heritage, and every brick and tile tells a historical story.

    Jimei School Village, founded by Mr. Tan Kah Kee, comprises several schools including Jimei University and Jimei Middle School. Its unique architectural style blends traditional Minnan (Southern Fujian) traditions with Southeast Asian influences, earning it the nickname "Pearl of the Sea Garden." At night, Jimei School Village is brilliantly lit, with the night view around the Dragon Boat Pool being particularly enchanting. Strolling along the tree-lined paths of the campus, one can immerse oneself in its rich cultural atmosphere. For dinner, we recommend Jimei Dashe Satay Noodles near Jimei School Village. The satay broth is rich and flavorful, and the toppings are plentiful; it's a very popular local eatery.

    This was my first time dining on a cruise ship. The interactive activities on the third deck of the Hainan Rendez-Vous were quite good. The content certainly wasn't as extensive as what the bloggers filmed, but it was sufficient. If you're looking for something like a Douyin (TikTok) video, that would be even better. As for the actual event, perhaps due to the season, the program wasn't as extensive as those blogger videos, but overall it was still pretty good!

    It doesn't look very big, but the kids could spend a whole day there! It's quite good; we bought a full-access ticket! The movies are optional, but the science museum has several good shows every day that teach you about science, like electricity and optics! Very interesting... There are also many interactive exhibits! The giant whale exhibit is also quite impressive... and you can even ask for a guided tour!
