Xiamen

#Mainland Travel Walking in Xiamen, the charm of this city always flows between the steel frames and the waves. If you want to feel the pulse of the skyline, you can't miss the Shimao Twin Towers - when dusk permeates the Lujiang River, the two silver towers turn into flowing lighthouses. From the 58-floor observation deck, you can overlook the lights of thousands of homes pouring like a galaxy of stars. Even the sea breeze is wrapped in the aroma of cloud-top coffee, making you reluctant to blink. The golden arc of Baicheng Beach is the most gentle brushstroke of Xiamen. When the tide is out, the fine sand wrapped in shells gently kisses the ankles, and the footprints of lovers are always hidden as a secret by the waves. At dusk, the setting sun gilded the Yanwu Bridge. Children chased the waves holding glowing bouquets. Their laughter mixed with the sound of the waves, turning ordinary days into poetry. The old arcades on Zhongshan Road are the soul of the city. Under the carved columns with Nanyang style, the steam from the satay noodles reflects a century of history. The old lady's reminders when she brought out the earthworm jelly, intertwined with the sound of guitar from the cultural and creative store next door, and even the breath carried the sweetness of old-fashioned flavor. These three sceneries are just like the triple rhyme of Xiamen: the tower spires write the future, the waves compose the present, and the old streets always brew the honey of time.
