Travel to Xiamen (厦门)
May 7th, 2010 | Published in China - Sightseeing, Travel
I traveled to Xiamen last weekend and stayed there for a few days. I left my base city by myself on Saturday evening and arrived in Xiamen in the morning, spent three days there and then came back.
Xiamen is a pretty city of about 2 million on the ocean.
I figured that for this trip, rather than inundating the blog with words, I would just post some pictures and some audio of walking through Xiamen.
So here goes.
Waiting in the train station, midnight.
The smoking room in the train station.
The sleeper cabin I had to myself, morning.
A Xiamen back alley, midday.
A Xiamen side-street.
A church on the same street.
Some wriggling prawns.
A shark moments after its head was cut off.
The packed ferry.
The ocean, afternoon.
