“Welcome back” to Xiamen!

Ranked as the most attractive city in the Fujian province of southern China, many of Xiamen’s old colonial buildings have been carefully restored and its lively waterfront area give it an alluring old-world charm — together with many new modern buildings rising throughout the city.

PS : I had a difficult time accessing my blog while in China. Seems like blogging is restricted.

The Nanputuo Buddhist Temple is famous in the province and is a pilgrimage site for many in Southeast Asia. The temple has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, with the latest reincarnation from the early 20th century.
