We went to Xiamen with Dandan’s family. In the first a couple of days, we stayed at 厦门鼓浪屿. It’s a small island, taking 1 to 2 hours to walk around the whole island. Lots of tourists and many delicious local food.
Next, we drove the car to 永定 to visit 福建土楼. These old buildings are amazing. They were totally made by locally available cheap materials by people with no money hundreds of years ago and strong enough to hold a big family with a few hundreds of people in one building. One building not only surivived the earthquake, the broken parts healed back automatically after some time because of the materials used for the building. That’s truely un-believable.
