[Hidden Paradise: Unlock the Stunning Scenery of Xiamen and Zhangzhou]

Hey everyone! 👋 Today, I'm taking you away from the hustle and bustle of the city to a hidden gem on the Fujian coast—Xiamen and Zhangzhou! 🌟🏖️ First Stop: Nanjing Tulou, a Journey Through Time 🏰 Imagine clusters of round and square tulou earth buildings, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, creating a picturesque scene straight out of the animated world of *Big Fish & Begonia*! 🏞️ These ancient structures, which have stood for hundreds of years, not only showcase the wisdom of the ancients but also serve as a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Grab your phone or camera, and every frame will be a masterpiece without filters! 📸 Second Stop: Volcano Island, Enjoy the Romance of the Blue Sea and Sky 🌊 From ancient simplicity to modern charm, Volcano Island offers a refreshing change of pace! Here, you'll find pink castles, black sand beaches, and trendy Instagram-worthy spots like infinity pools and white windmills. Put on your most stylish swimsuit and get up close and personal with the ocean! 👙🏊‍♀️ Third Stop: Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, Discover Tranquility and Antiquity 🏘️ Stroll along the cobblestone streets, lined with ancient wooden houses and flowing streams, where time seems to slow down. Don't forget to savor the local delicacies, such as handmade noodles and *shacha* noodles—every bite is pure bliss! 🍜😋 Fourth Stop: Zhenhaijiao, Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms 🌸 Known as "Little Kenting," Zhenhaijiao is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Find a reef to sit on, feel the gentle sea breeze, and admire the crimson sunset. In that moment, all your worries seem to be washed away by the gentle waves. 🌅💖 As night falls, take a stroll through Zhangzhou's old town, where you'll find hidden shops and bustling food stalls. Seafood feasts, barbecue skewers, and a variety of desserts will tantalize your taste buds! 🍤🍢🍰 Final Tips 💡: - Best time to travel: Spring and autumn, when the weather is cool and pleasant. - Remember to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated, as the UV rays are strong at the seaside. - Try using local public transport or renting a car for more flexibility in exploring every corner. That's all for today's Zhangzhou journey. Are you ready to embark on your own adventure? Take a spontaneous trip and let your soul wander! 🛫🌈

Fujian (Nanjing) Tulou Scenic Area

Nanjing Tulou, one of the most representative world cultural heritage sites in Fujian, is known as the "Eastern Castle". These magnificent round and square buildings have remained as solid as ever after a hundred years of wind and rain, and are a symbol of the wisdom and unity of the Hakka people. Walking into the Tulou is like traveling through time and space, feeling the strong human touch and traditional customs.
