Travel Blogs from Xiamen, China
Fujian - the homeland...
This is a top pick! ... China, as it is such a common place achievement, only gloom and rain await. On the gloomiest day in the history of China, my first in Xiamen, I manage to find my hostel on the small island of Gulang Yu and enjoy a hot shower which is undoubtedly Top 5 ...
Straight To Wok With.....
This is a top pick! ... We are in Xiamen now, very close to our last entry, on the map, but not the same place, a whole different island. Xiamen used to be called Amoy, like the range of cooking sauces and noodles in the UK, hence blog name... We managed to get ...
Xiamen
This is a top pick! ... is relatively clean and one can actually see the skyline on most days. Trust us: that's an achievement in China! Xiamen itself is relatively pleasant, though somewhat characterless like most Chinese cities. There's little of its historical past that ...
Xiamen (Amoy)
... only displayed as delayed in Chinese characters! On getting off the train we also got help from a guy travelling to Cambodia via Xiamen and Bangkok - he was a Shanghai student and gave up some of his time to asking for directions to our hostel in ...
Our final watch on board S/Y Jennifer
... ourselves anchored amongst other quarantined vessels on the edges of the ports busy shipping lanes. The brightly colored lights of Xiamen are clearly visible but inaccessible. Whilst provisions are running low this should be our last night on board S/Y ...
Trouble in Xiamen
... cities like Beijing and Shanghai were out of the question and besides, I was looking for somewhere I little more laid back. I chose Xiamen in Fujian province. I arrived at Xiamen Airport after a brief transfer from Hong Kong and took a taxi to the hotel ...
Last day on beautiful Piano Island
... cultural artifacts, more stone art, a couple of organs, including a huge pipe organ, and a "gift room" displaying gifts to Xiamen from countries all over the world. There didn't seem to be anything from Australia, though New Zealand was well represented. ...
Cantankerous train man
... and valleys, down down into the south. After about thirty-three hours on the train, as Xiamen rapidly approached, there was suddenly a great flurry of activity amongst the train attendants. As if possessed by great and ...
We should have learned Chinese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... and ambassadors for their country. They took us to buy our train tickets...had they not done that, we'd likely have stayed in Xiamen for our entire 8 months...(Remember, we don't speak Chinese...this seemed to be a very big issue in Xiamen.) Gu and Leo, ...
sing us a song piano man
... on the open deck above us. First crashes were before 5 and then on and off for next hour and a bit. We sailed in to Xiamen and watched from our window and were docked at just after 6, an hour early. Surprised Al with my brekkie of fruit, yoghurt and ...
Amoy
We have long wanted to go to Xiamen, but it turns out that the real destinations in Fujian are near Xiamen--the city itself has a kind of cool feel to it, and the da pan ji was delicious (the only time I've ever had good da pan ji away from NW China), but ...
Europe Jr.
This island, a five-minute ferry ride off the coast of Xiamen, was amazing. There wasn't actually much to do there, and it was pretty touristy. But to walk around this place was wonderful--very much like Macau (where we went on the last trip), but ...
Meet Mr Masaji
... check accommodation possibilities for the last night, but we didn't make it to the end of Zhongshan Lu, the fascinating street in downtown Xiamen that leads to the ferry. In particular we saw DVD shops. We had already decided we were not going to buy any ...
Prisoners in a distant land
... (it would have been illegal and dangerous) dinner was a modest affair consisting of muesli and crackers. The bright lights of Xiamen beckoned but once again remained unattainable. I was reminded of the story told of Alcatraz at New Years Eve. With the ...
Little green men
Returning to Shanghai Hongqiao station we are reminded that as in Xiamen a green light for pedestrians does not provide for unencumbered road crossing. In reality, it advises drivers that as they habitually ignore the red light they will also have to ...
Ice cream in January
Gulangyu enchants. Quiet narrow "streets"...walkways, rather, meander here and there shaded by hanging branches. There are no cars and few sounds of machinery. At night most businesses were closed and dark. As we wandered up and ...
one true ring
... it is probably best not to wander around on our own after all.... The next day we took a trip to Gulang Yu island off Xiamen. It is supposed to be a must see in the area, with lots of colonial buildings and old european embassies, but not much to ...
Touring Xiamen
... . In particular the big lake in the middle of the campus is a very scenic spot. Across the road from the university is Xiamen's main attraction, the Nanputuo Si, or Southern Buddhist Temple, which stretches up the steep slopes of a hill. There are the ...
Xiamen a vison of China
Hello, Well I made it, i'm in china and well this city is very modern, nice, clean ANd motor bikes are illegal woo. So on the way here we flew through an electrical storm which was cool, seeing lightning from the ground is one thing, seeing it out ...
Getting aRound in Fujian
... in Anji. That resolve lasted as long as it took to find 760 RMB round-trip flights to the coastal city of Xiamen in China's Fujian Province. As one of the closest mainland cities to Taiwan, Xiamen has reaped some trade benefits and enjoys a ...
Traveling
I had a quick lunch wiht Maggie, had picture taken then whisked off to Xiamen. From there I explained using chinese where i needed to go, 2 buses later i was at the airport, 5 hours later I was in Bangkok. I slept there for a while then about 8 hours ...
Stille og rolig masseturisme
Klokken 06:00 ankom vi på Xiamen busstation. Det var tidligt, men i det mindste ikke midt om natten. Vi fangede en taxa og kørte mod færgen. Vi havde nemlig et par dage inden booket et par senge på et hostel som befandt sig på øen Gulangyu. Det var ...
Southeastern DPJ
... ; Yes, another moment to dedicate to dpj must be had. We had chanced across a Muslim restaurant when we arrived in Xiamen and decided to give their dpj a chance before our departure. So we ate. And we found ourselves pleasantly ...
Hong Shan Park and gate-crashing another concert
... or dropped microphones. After the show, the man in charge of it all greeted us and explained that they were students of the Xiamen University Performing Arts College. He was rather apologetic about the standard of the show, saying it was not ready yet. We ...
Warmth!
... obvious on the meter. It took a good 10 minutes of yelling at him to get the correct change. I'm beginning to find China a bit tiring. Xiamen itself is a typical Chinese city (character is an evil thing here, apparently) on the coast, but the nearby ...
Xiamen in 2 hours
With a couple of hours to kill before our onward flight to Bangkok, we, along with our new Canadian friends Jon & Chantelle, took a quick look and meal (ordering by pointing at pictures on the wall) in this pretty little city. Would be happy to spend a ...
Arriving in Xiamen (Amoy)
... subtropical forests and rice terraces and fields everywhere. We also had our first rain since arriving in China, and the change was good. Arriving in Xiamen at night we were confronted with busy crowds moving through streets full of high rise apartments ...
