This is the last day of my four day trip in Xiamen. I was OOB in the last few days (since April 13, 2009). The four day trip was too intensive that I didn't find time to sit down to update a blog - I hope I should have posted something like OOB before hand.
The special thing about this photo is, the islands in this picture is Jinmen, and it is under governence of Taiwan.

Xiamen is an amazing city, and I especially love the Asia Gulf Hotel - the villa near the sea. It is very like the hotels in Sanya, but on the cost side, it is much cheaper. It is said a standard room is 400 RMB or something, and the best suite near the sea in the villa is 800 RMB - comparing to the hotels in Yalong Bay in Sanya, it is still reasonable.
Had a lot of fun in Xiamen.
- Dinner beside sea is great. Especially when you have white tablecloth, and wine glasses.
- Gulangyu Island is nice - just need to go there from late afternoon to night, not at day time - too many tourists, and too many people - the same observation from my trip to Tongli.
- Xiamen is definitely a city that I should visit again and again and again - just like Sanya, and Qingdao. If there is no where to go, just pack and get a plane ticket to Xiamen
- Offsite meeting is a great idea. Combine meeting and outing is a good idea.
