Climbing to the top of Sunlight Rock, which is about 92 meters high, offers a panoramic view of Gulangyu Island, with particularly beautiful scenery. Staff are on hand to direct traffic at the top, ensuring safety and order. Sunlight Temple, the Hongyi Master (Li Shutong) Memorial Park, and cliff carvings are among the cultural attractions worth visiting. Of course, the natural scenery is also stunning.

Such gorgeous scenery and such a large variety of plants and areas to see! It is also very large so depending how how in depth you’d like to see the gardens give yourself at least 2 hours

Sunset time is hard to get, but other times are still possible. We went early in the morning. The cable car was built quite early and has a weight limit of 340 catties. Luckily, the guy behind me and I were both overweight, so we each got a private cabin and 40 minutes of alone time.

This casual visit to the scenic spot was surprisingly patriotic. We happened to catch a performance, which instantly made the ticket price worthwhile. Reading the introduction, I learned that the events occurred only about eighty years ago, and I couldn't help but reflect that only a strong nation can provide a happy life. I definitely want to bring my child, who aspires to be a soldier, to visit this place sometime.

My child was so excited about the whale specimen, and was immediately overwhelmed by its sheer size. He cried... a true example of "Lord Ye's love of dragons" (a Chinese idiom meaning someone who professes to love something but is actually afraid of it)... hahaha. The guide was incredibly gentle and patient, and I thoroughly enjoyed the explanations! A million thumbs up!

Today the weather was sunny and clear, perfect for taking a sea cruise from Xiamen to Kinmen and enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait. The cruise crew patiently answered all my questions. I'll definitely bring my family here again next time.

Stepping into Nanputuo Temple, the aroma of incense mingles with the fragrance of ancient wood. Red walls and gray tiles reflect the blue sky, wind chimes tinkle softly on the eaves, and solemn Buddha statues stand within, where devout worshippers kneel in prayer. Walking around to the back of the temple, stone steps lead to Wulao Peak, lush with greenery along the way, where you might occasionally see monks strolling by. After descending the mountain, don't forget to try the vegetarian pastries outside the temple; the mung bean filling is sweet and refreshing. Here, there is no hustle and bustle, only a tranquil peace that calms the mind; even the wind carries a touch of Zen.

Xiamen Petronas Twin Towers is absolutely amazing! These two high-rise buildings are like two big knives directly inserted into the clouds, standing underneath and looking up, their necks are almost broken, domineering! The light is on at night, it is like a science fiction film, and the colorful light show is blinding. It is a blockbuster in the circle of friends. The location is also good, the bottom of the foot is Shapowei, next to the Dingao Zai Cat Street, it is super convenient to go shopping and drink. There are everything in the building, five-star hotels, high-end restaurants, net red cafes, even the cinema is a lounge chair, watching the movie while watching the sea view, this treatment is absolutely perfect! The observation deck is more exciting, and the whole Xiamen has a panoramic view. Gulangyu Island and Yanwu Bridge are at the foot. Friends who are afraid of heights remember to support the wall. The most amazing thing is that it has become a landmark in Xiamen. Tourists must punch in when they come, and locals can't help but squint when they pass by. On a sunny day, the glass curtain wall reflects like crystal, and the cloud and mist wrapped around the waist like Xia Xia drama, 365 days of appearance online.

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.
