Despite encountering multiple crosswinds while crossing the 16.23-kilometer-long Taiwan Strait Bridge, we still made it to this scenic spot, the closest point on mainland China to Taiwan. We walked the first half, taking photos along the way, and took the shuttle bus back the second half.

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!

Meizhou Island Travelogue: Sea, God, and Original Intention Stepping onto Meizhou Island, one is immediately enveloped by the atmosphere of the azure sea and the mingled scents of incense. Climbing the steps, the majestic stone statue of Mazu stands tall, its flowing robes seemingly protecting the vast blue waves. The ancestral temple complex features upturned eaves, the golden Mazu statue reflecting the warmth of the jade Mazu statue, while the sounds of morning bells and evening drums bring a sense of tranquility, allowing one to forget the hustle and bustle of the world. Strolling along the rainbow-colored running track, the waves gently kiss the beach, and the sea-eroded wonders of the Goose Tail Rock bear the marks of time. Here, there is no noise, only the whisper of the sea breeze and the piety of the believers. The legend of Mazu's salvation has been carried by the waves for millennia, becoming the island's most gentle and nurturing backdrop. The two-day trip was swift, yet I was deeply moved by the purity of this faith and the tranquility of nature. The beauty of Meizhou Island lies not only in its azure sea and sky, but also in the benevolent power that transcends millennia, leaving one with a clear mind and unforgettable memories.

Fantastic performance! The kids were adorable! The performance was fantastic! The iron head kick was amazing! Even the foreigners were stunned! At 50 yuan per person, it's very affordable! Definitely worth going!

I thought it would be just average, but it gave me a huge surprise. The puppeteer's superb acting skills were truly impressive. It was a genuine reflection of Quanzhou's unique culture. I'll definitely recommend it to them when I get back.

Ten fingers strumming strings, capturing a thousand years of joys and sorrows; a single hand holding the universe, turning the world upside down. Quanzhou puppets are both an ethereal journey through the clouds and a delicate tapestry of history in the palm of your hand. As the curtain rises and the spirit gathers, as the strings fall and the rhythm remains, the essence of Southern Fujian is fully revealed on this small stage.

Loved it. Lots to do, you could spend all day there. Also make sure you hire a buggy. This place is huge.

Memories of Shuzhuang Garden ★ Discover a Beautiful Scene Shuzhuang Canghai (Hidden Sea in Shuzhuang) is one of Xiamen's famous scenic spots, referring to Shuzhuang Garden on Gulangyu Island. The garden is divided into two parts: "Hidden Sea" and "Supplementing the Mountain," a modern garden that combines concealment, borrowing, and ingenuity. Upon entering the garden, your view is initially blocked by a yellow wall, allowing only a glimpse of the small courtyard. Passing through an archway, the sea suddenly unfolds, a delightful surprise thanks to the design of first concealing and then revealing. Next, walk to the Forty-Four Bridge, an excellent spot for viewing the sea, named after the garden's owner who was forty-four years old when he built the bridge. A sluice gate under the bridge calms the turbulent sea, cleverly concealing a corner of the ocean within the garden. Strolling along the Forty-Four Bridge, you can enjoy views of the sandy beach and azure sea nearby, the distant Nan Taiwu Mountain, and the silhouette of Sunlight Rock. The surrounding mountain and sea scenery is fully captured within the garden's view, showcasing its open and transparent beauty. Stepping into the piano museum within "Tingtaoxuan," a variety of antique pianos come into view, as if entering a secret realm sealed with time and melody. I was filled with awe and fascination, only regretting missing the scheduled live performance. Walking to the latter part of the garden, I learned that the name "Bushan" (补山) implies "a broken country in urgent need of repair," revealing the garden owner's deep patriotism. The core landscape of Bushan Garden is the Twelve Caves, constructed of reddish-brown sandstone, divided into twelve caves, each containing a statue of one of the twelve zodiac animals. The caves are interconnected, with winding paths, resembling an intricate maze. Seeing many children playing and frolicking freely in the caves filled me with a sense of carefree joy. ★Encountering a Sunset In my memory, sunset is around six o'clock in the evening, but unexpectedly, just after five o'clock, I witnessed a magnificent sunset. At first, the sun hung high above the sea, its midday heat fading to a soft, warm hue. Gradually, the red sun rose above the water, painting the horizon a rich orange-red. The sea and the beach, washed by the waves, transformed into a delicate canvas, bathed in the glow of the sunset. The shimmering waves were filled with flowing gold and red, as if God had spilled his palette, unrestrained yet harmonious. On the beach, people were enveloped in a warm glow, the daytime hustle and bustle gone, replaced only by the sounds of the waves and laughter. Some gazed quietly, some captured moments with cameras, some chased the waves barefoot, family and friends sat side by side, a scene of heartwarming human warmth, comfortable and peaceful. Finally, the red sun slowly sank into the sea, leaving only a faint afterglow on the horizon, the sky gradually turning indigo. This enchanting sunset blended the bridges, pavilions, rocks, sea, and trees of Shuzhuang Garden into the poetic beauty of twilight. It was just an ordinary dusk, but the garden scenery, embraced by the setting sun, made it exceptionally beautiful, making people reluctant to leave and filled with a healing warmth.
