It was a great time, very happy, and very suitable. The tour guide sister was also very nice. It was worth the money. Good reviews. I will join this group again. It's very good. The experience is full 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Overall it is good, but there are no sightseeing tickets available from the manor to the pier, so tourists starting from the corner have to walk back to the pier, which is too tiring.

Summer is hot and humid. Although there are many shade trees in the botanical garden, it is still possible to get heatstroke. A quick route is recommended: enter from the west gate, buy a round-trip ticket for the park's scooter (10 yuan), and follow the west gate (entrance) - Rainforest World (get off and walk) - Succulent Botanical Garden - Flower Garden/Shishan Garden (do not get off in the middle) - South Gate (take the return bus at the terminal) - West Gate (exit).
The reasons are as follows:
1. After exiting the subway, you need to walk up a big slope to the west gate of the botanical garden. In summer, if you do not take a car after entering the park, you will probably be sweating profusely and unable to walk before you start to visit, so try to buy an electric car ticket if you can, and spend 10 yuan to save energy and time.
2. Rainforest World is worth seeing! The giant tropical vegetation is matched with artificial rain and fog, which produces the Tyndall effect in the sun, like a dream, and super photogenic. You can see many people taking wedding photos here along the way. My accompanying picture is a direct-view picture without filters, which is not even one thousandth of the effect of the naked eye. It is worth visiting this area alone. The whole area is clearly layered, and the route is of different depths. It is highly recommended.
3. The succulent plant garden is mainly a variety of succulent cacti. As a northerner, I have never seen such a large cactus in my life. It is spectacular. The only drawback is that it is too hot. There is no shade area. It is recommended to take an umbrella. There is also an indoor exhibition hall inside, which you don’t need to see. You can walk directly to the succulent area in the rainforest world, and then take a bus in the rainforest world after visiting.
4. The reason why other areas are not recommended is that they are too far away. For example, the flower garden has to climb 800 meters after getting off the bus to reach it. A car of people is very tired after visiting the first two areas. When arriving at this station, basically no one gets off the bus; second, they have seen the previous areas and are aesthetically fatigued.
5. Because there are a lot of people at each stop, if you want to take the shuttle bus back to Ximen, you have to queue for a long time. It only takes about ten minutes to get to the end, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way, so it is most comfortable to take it to Nanmen and then back!
If you come to Xiamen to play, in addition to visiting Gulangyu Island and strolling on the beach, if time permits, I don’t know what to do, I highly recommend the Botanical Garden!
The scenery is beautiful, and there is a unique atmosphere on rainy days. The scenic shuttle bus is very convenient. It is not so tiring to climb the mountain all the time. It is also very easy to bring children. I will come again next time!

The round trip took 40 minutes. At first, I was so scared that my legs floated, but I was no longer afraid. You can see the sea, the Twin Towers, and ancient buildings in the distance. It seemed that my feet were about to step on the top of the tree, and the top of the pine tree was full of round fruits.
The experience of this project is great. The cable car ride takes about 20 to 20 minutes. The scenery you see while sitting on the cable car and enjoying the breeze can offset the extremely bad experience of waiting for a while under the hot sun at 9 o'clock in the morning in summer. This is purely my personal experience.

Pingtan Island is the blue tears dream island of Fujian!
As the closest place to Taiwan from the mainland, it has both the same ring road as Kenting and the unique stone house fishing village.
From April to August, the beach will flash blue fluorescence at night, like stepping on the starry sky, so beautiful that it makes people scream!
The colorful stone houses in Beigang Village are super photogenic, the Changjiangao windmill field is amazing for taking sunset photos, and the trailing beach in Xiangbi Bay looks like an elephant drinking water from aerial photography.
You can play around the island by renting an electric car. The glass plank road in the northern ecological corridor hangs over the sea, which is exciting and film-making.
The seafood is so cheap that you can cry. You can eat Pingtan snacks such as good luck (Xianmishi) and forever (fried dumplings) elsewhere.
It is recommended to avoid the peak season in July and August, otherwise the price of the homestay will double and you can't book it.
Sunscreen must be welded on your face, and the sea breeze + ultraviolet rays will make you three degrees darker in minutes.
This island is so close and so fairy, you can take the high-speed rail on weekends and go!
Pingtan's islands and reefs have various types of landforms, with high terrain in the north and south and low terrain in the middle. It has a subtropical marine monsoon climate with obvious monsoons, distinct dry and rainy seasons, warm winters and cool summers.
Pingtan is known as the "County of Thousand Reef Islands". There are 11 islands with permanent inhabitants, surrounding the main island of Pingtan Island (also known as Haitan Island). There are Yutou Island, Guyu Island, Xiaolian Island, and Dalian Island in the northwest; Xiaoxiang Island and Dongxiang Island in the northeast; Tangyu and Caoyu in the south. There are more than 330 uninhabited islands such as Shanbai Island, Sanzhou Island, Dasong Island, Dahuai Island, Hengyu, Laoluo Island, Jiangshan Island, Niushan Island, Dongjia Island, and Nanheng Island.
Pingtan Island has beautiful scenery, and visiting Pingtan Island can be said to be a romantic island date.

It rained during the days when I came to Zhangzhou, but it didn't affect the experience. There were few people when it rained, and walking in the rain was also unique. I invited a tour guide from the park to take us around. He explained the history of the earth building and told us where to take pictures and how to take better pictures. At the end of the walk, the tour guide invited me to have tea in her teahouse (right in the scenic area). The tour guide was born and raised in the earth building.
The prices in the scenic area are also very reasonable, and the folk customs are still very simple.
Recommended!
The overall feeling is not bad. Fujian's Tulou is still very beautiful. It's just that many road signs are extremely inconvenient if you drive by yourself. I hope the scenic spot can be well planned.

Came here to see the Krupp cannon. The boy liked it. The cannon was well preserved. It was really big when you saw it in person. The sea view was beautiful. There was a performance at 4pm on a hot day. It lasted 18 minutes. I really felt that it was not easy for the actors!
The performance was too superficial and not serious. I hope the leaders of the scenic area can manage the image of the performers well, highlight the characteristics of patriotic education, and be helpful to the tourists, especially the children!

Qingyuan Mountain is the back garden of Quanzhou people!
This small hill with an altitude of less than 500 meters hides Laojun Rock, the best in the world. The statue of Laozi carved in the Song Dynasty, squinting and smiling, watched the fireworks of the world for 800 years, and was jokingly called the calmest Internet celebrity.
The mountain climbing road is full of cultural easter eggs. The stupa of Master Hongyi, the Islamic holy tomb, and the Buddhist temple are crowded on the same mountain road, like walking into a blind box street with religious themes.
It is most comfortable to come in the early morning. You can sit on the stone table and stone bench where the local grandpa and grandma make tea, listen to Nanyin and watch Quanzhou City wake up in the fog.
It is fun to make a pot of Tieguanyin on the top of the mountain. The tea fee is cheaper than mineral water!
Remember to wear non-slip shoes, the stone slabs of the Song Dynasty are polished and slippery.
Remember to eat a bowl of Houzhugang seafood noodles when you go down the mountain. It is so fresh that you can bite off your tongue!
There is no other mountain in the country with such culture~
Qingyuan Mountain is a famous natural and cultural dual heritage scenic spot in Quanzhou, known as the "First Mountain of Penglai in Fujian". The Laojun Rock statues are simple and solemn, and the cultural landscapes such as the Song Dynasty stone carvings and the Hongyi Master Relic Pagoda are profound. The hiking trail is surrounded by greenery, overlooking the city of Quanzhou, and the air is fresh and pleasant. However, some sections are slightly steep, so you need to pay attention to your physical strength. The scenic area is well managed, and the tickets are cost-effective, suitable for a half-day leisure tour. It is recommended to go there in the early morning or evening to escape the heat, and it is better to go with surrounding attractions such as Kaiyuan Temple. The disadvantage is that there are more tourists on holidays, and the commercial facilities at the foot of the mountain are a bit messy. Overall, it is a must-visit place to experience the charm of Quanzhou's "World Heritage".

The Science and Technology Museum is a treasure trove of educational and entertaining activities! There are a wide variety of interactive projects, ranging from basic science to cutting-edge technology. Adults and children can immerse themselves in them and learn knowledge while playing. Even a day of visiting here will leave you wanting more. It is definitely worth a special trip to experience!
Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is a "science paradise" for adults and children to play, and the 35,000 square meters of exhibition hall contains countless surprises. The main exhibition hall is divided by theme, and the "ocean cradle" can touch virtual waves and watch simulated submarines explore the deep sea; The magnetoelectric stage in the "Exploration and Discovery" area is the most eye-catching. When the high-voltage discharge, the arc such as blue lightning breaks the air, and the sound effect is super shocking. Children's favorite "Children's Future Paradise", there are talking robots, water flow pipes that can be assembled, and understand the mechanics while playing. The best thing is that the interactive experience is full, such as the fun of the north in the "mirror maze", the "response test" is compared to hand-eye coordination, and even adults can't help but try again. The "Space and Aviation" exhibition area also has a real return module model, which can sit in the simulated cockpit to experience weightlessness and round a space dream. The exhibition hall is designed intimately, with a seating area and drinking water on each floor, and the restaurant on the first floor is moderately priced. The narrator will do interesting experiments regularly, such as liquid nitrogen frozen banana smashing, dry ice to create smoke, and always fill the curious audience. The only minor drawback is that some popular projects have to line up on weekends, but the overall rhythm is soothing and suitable for slowly exploring. Here, science is no longer a formula in textbooks, but a joy that can be seen and felt. Whether it is taking a baby to popular science or a couple to find freshness on a date, Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is worth spending most of the day in it.

The ticket price is expensive. There is always an auntie following you at the door asking you to go to her house for dinner, so that you can go to the earth building for free. It is persistent and a bit annoying. The over-commercialization of the scenic spot also affects the viewing experience a little, but the earth building is really shocking.
Fujian Tulou is distributed in Fujian and Guangdong provinces[1]. The main types of Tulou include Yongding Tulou in Longyan City, Nanjing Tulou, Hua'an Tulou, Pinghe Tulou, Zhao'an Tulou, Yunxiao Tulou, Zhangpu Tulou and Quanzhou Tulou in Zhangzhou City. Fujian Tulou originated in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and matured in the late Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The Tulou is built on a stone base and raw soil as the main material. It is layered and rammed, with bamboo and wood as the wall frame. The intersections are fixed with wood. Fujian Tulou are either square or round, with round being the main shape. They are scattered like pearls among the green mountains and waters in southwest Fujian. Fujian Tulou follows the Eastern philosophical concept of "harmony between man and nature". It uses local materials and is located on the hillside or along the stream. The architectural style is simple and rough, the form is beautiful and unique, the scale is appropriate, and the functions are complete and practical. It complements the green mountains, green waters and rural scenery, forming a suitable living environment and a harmonious landscape between man and nature.
