Xiamen

Xiamen, China


Xiamen is just another big Chinese city that no one has ever heard of and, believe it not, it has more than several million people living here. As with all Chinese cities we have visited it has Tower cranes building skyscrapers all over the place. We took a local Ferry to a small island that has no cars and is a pleasant place to walk around. There were thousands of Chinese going back and forth to the island. Most of them were with tour groups with the leader holding a flag. We have seen this in all the Chinese cities. They are the Chinese from the hinterlands coming to the big cities to experience city life. We had invited our Italian bartender friend to join us on our adventure and had a great time together.

Our dinner with the Captain was delightful, lots of fun.
